Student stories...

By far, my time at Queen Mary has been made incredible by the people. I know that I've met people here who will be my friends for the rest of my life. … And it’s not just the people themselves, it’s the way they inspire me as well. The art that is being made here, particularly in the sense of theatre, is something I have never been exposed to before.
