我在伦敦东区玛丽皇后必威体育投注betway学院通过IES直接招生项目留学。在最初的orientation之后，除了定期的check-in和field - trip之外，我并没有和IES的工作人员有太多的接触。一边

从这一点来看，玛丽女王学院的教职员工——尤其是教授们——都非常和蔼可亲。我绝对推荐这个项目给任何有兴趣的学生。伦敦是一个充满活力的城市，有无穷无尽的有趣的地方可以去，有无穷无尽的活动可以做，玛丽皇后学院是一个窥探典型伦敦学生生活的好地方。至于伦敦东区，它是一个非常多样化的地区。往西坐五分钟地铁，再走一段路，你就会到达斯皮塔菲尔德市场(Spitalfields market)，这是一个历史悠久的地方，和伦敦的很多地方一样，它已经被现代化了，以反映市民的时尚文化。周日，如果你穿过市场，穿过几条小巷，你会到达我最喜欢的地方——著名的布里克巷市场，那里有我在伦敦吃过的最好的食物，还有很多买古董的机会。从Mile end往东坐两分钟地铁，你就会到达斯特拉特福德购物中心，这是一个专门为2012年伦敦奥林匹克公园而建的设施。就玛丽女王学院校园而言，玛丽女王学院有两个校区:Mile End校区和Whitechapel校区。我只去过Mile End校区，但我可以说它很好地融入了周围的城市景观。校园本身给学生一种隐居的感觉; it would be possible for a student to live within the contained area of the campus without leaving if they really wanted to. There are several buildings where classes are held, but generally, the different buildings house different school departments. The classrooms varied from large lecture rooms that could contain, probably, a good 150 people, to small classrooms where a class of maybe 15 people at most could fit into. It took me approximately 10 minutes to walk from one side of campus (where the dorms are) to the other (where I had a class), and most of the non-academic facilities (coffee shops, the campus pub, the cafeterias, the bookstore, the campus corner market, etc.) were within this area. The most interesting feature of campus, for me, however, was the Nuevo Burial Ground, which is really just a graveyard that just so happens to be in the middle of campus. I also greatly appreciated the close proximity to the Mile End tube station, which made it very easy to get anywhere I wanted or needed to off-campus.
