This is reflected in consistently high levels of student satisfaction.

Students have access both to the Queen Mary’s modern library and to the collections of the University of London library. On the Mile End campus over 2,000 rooms are available to students, many of them en-suite, with great facilities close by, from a launderette to shops and cafes.
