Stay away from Middlesex University Mauritius; it's unfair and disappointing. If you're thinking about going to Middlesex University Mauritius, you should think about it again. It was very annoying, stressful, and unfair for me, and I want to tell other students not to make the same mistake I did. 🔉 Abuse of power and unfair grading My work was marked wrongly even though I put in a lot of effort and followed all the rules. There was favouritism among supervisors, and students got different grades. There wasn't a good way to appeal, and calls for clear comments were not taken into account. 🔲 Not enough help for students The university didn't seem to want to help students get better; instead, it seemed more interested in ignoring problems and stopping growth. There was no clear scoring, no good advice from teachers, and no effort to help students do well. 😹 Effects on mental health and stress Lack of fairness and help made studying here very hard on the mind. I had problems with my health and problems in the outside world, but the university didn't help me at all. Instead, they made things harder for me. Not a Good Learning Experience Everything was jumbled during COVID-19. Online classes weren't well run, and students were having a hard time because they didn't have the right tools or ways to talk to each other. The building looked and felt more like a business than a school. Last piece of advice: If you want fair treatment, honesty in your work, and real student help, you should look elsewhere. Don't waste your time, money, and energy on Middlesex University. There are better schools that care more about their students' success. |

Reasons For Studying Abroad
| To help future students find programs attended by like-minded individuals, please choose the profile that most closely represents you. |
The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
