King's College London

Kings is located in the perfect area of London, enough for you to be carried away in the hustle bustle of city workers but also surrounded by the world's most iconic monuments such as the Shard, River Thames circles most of our campuses not to mention the Strand is home to great places to eat! As a medical student we don't move about too much but having taken a few humanities modules I have explored the other campuses and they offer good facilities- business students benefiting the most from newly refurbished Bush House!! All in all, kings is definitely a good university. I wish the admin could keep up to date though!

The campuses and facilities are world class and state of the art. The material learned in lectures is also very interesting and useful for when you start a career. The only issue I faced which decreased my overall experience is that the university can be disorganised at times, especially when it comes to the KEATS website and making sure all the material for modules is there and updated when it should be.

A great university that supports it's students. Frequent 1 to 1s and knowledgeable staff to ensure you get the best grade. A negative I experienced was that there is a lack of support for job hunting after graduation

Overall kings has been a fantastic university and I have NO serious complains. The campus and facilities are very good and overall knowledge about living away from home and how to budget your finances are very well done. However the only complaint I have is because of their admin team. By this I mean not responding to emails quick enough and sometimes not at all. Recently I and a large number of my peers received an email that was not for us but the content of the email caused some of us distrss. Other than that kings is a great uni in the heart of London with a lot of opportunities available.

Campus locations are ideal and varied around the main areas I need access to as part of my course e.g. hospitals. As well as this, the university is very prestigious and this is portrayed through the overall impression that I have so far.

The campuses have a really vibrant atmosphere, with facilities and social networks for everyone. There are facilities for all sorts of clubs and societies, and if there aren't, the student union is a great contact to address any issues.

I absolutely love King's as a uni, but there are definitely things that must change. The lack of diversity amongst faculty is appalling, and KCL's continued support of and contributions to oppressive regimes and the arms trade is ethically disheartening. The student experience though imo is amazing, I love our campuses centrality and KCLSU is super supportive!

The new business school campus is amazig and main building is located centrally, close to covent garden and different entertainment spots. A lot of events organised by sociaties ans student union, from fun ones to professional workshops. Business school has some very advanced teachers and variety of classes is pretty wide so you can customise your degree. A cool new student bar at new campus as well as several kitchens and even vegan cafe is present at kings. Overall very fun experience at this university

King's facilities are up to date, always providing us with modern technology. The campus are welcoming and friendly. At times I feel like there is a lack of organisation in my course. Getting last minute changes or sometimes not even being notified of updates. Besides the lack of organisation at times, I feel like king's suports its' student quite well. I always feel like there is someone looking after my well being i.e. personal tutor, link lecturers, cohort leaders. At king's I can also find people from all different backgrounds and different life experiences, those people are the friends that change my perspective on life situations. I feel like king's welcomes everyone from all different backgrounds and that it always has a place for everyone.

Many people are very quick to complain about King's but, personally, I have been very happy here. In my first year, I stayed at Great Dover Street appartments which was... interesting. The room was like Harry Potters cupboard but green. The ensuite was... unique. You could sit on the toilet, wash your hands and have a shower all at the very same time. It was expensive but that's London. Everything is expensive - Food, drinks, nights out. You get used to it. King's have been really supportive and I love my degree - Dietetics.

The campuses are well maintained and well equipped although could potentially do with more computer rooms. The student bars are much too expensive with regards to food. The course is interesting but some modules are poorly explained. The student union seem disorganised but KCL radio is very well run.

The university is good itself. I enjoy the teaching, our lecturers are extremely professional. The buildings are nice and modern, all facilities are present there. However, I am quite disappointed by the fact that more and more students miss their offers and still get in. This results in a presence of some people who are not genuinely interested in what they study. Also, I don't like smelling urine every time I enter the King's building, the area near the entrance has become a public toilet for the homeless. This issue should be tackled

Enjoy the various student union spaces, especially the new editions at Bush house. However, I feel that Guy's campus requires a formal social room (excluding the Shed)

King's is a great university for teaching and sports, having four different campuses and a myriad of amazing professors, along with sports societies for any sport you could think of, some even having two societies. However, the organisation in general leaves something to be desired. It takes a while for tutors and professors to get back to you, or for you to receive results after tests and coursework.

The facilities of king's Include two major libraries, a small one in Waterloo and a larger Maughan library. I do think the facilities can be expanded. The student unions are wonderful, with the Vault and guy's. Guy's bar is extremely fun to go to on Wednesdays and the vault feels like a world class cafeteria. In fact, the whole of Bush has now become extremely pleasant and beautiful, I am quite jealous my department is not there. Studying physics at King's isn't very good, the resources are okay but most of all the lecturers and the support isn't great. My tutor used to take any opportunity to cancel our weekly tutorials in our first year, and now that we don't have any tutorials in the second year, he offers no mentoring or support, even when asked.

Everyone is really helpful and friendly even the students. However, can be difficult to make friends.

Great facilities such as work space, coffee shops and a huge library. Careers service is very helpful and all the staff are very friendly. Lecturers are great and peer students are great too

The course ( Anglo French Law LLB) is very well organized. I like the fact that we are always mixed with law students and ppl students. The teachers are awesome also. One thing really good at KCL is their online platform Keats - you can find each course, documentation, infos about your teacher, lecture captures and outlines etc... really handy !!

University and tuition is generally very good, few problems regarding lecturer to student correspondence but otherwise no problems. Residence advice was helpful and first year halls were comfortable and well placed in terms of location.

KCL is a great uni overall - the only thing that can get a little frustrating is the lack of organisation and haphazardness with schedules and timetables. It's got great campuses (Guy's ftw) and the professors and tutors are extremely helpful and always kind. My course is pretty intense, but it's totally worth it. The student union has almost every society you can think of and a great impartial advice service, not to mention part time student jobs which can be a great help. Being right in the middle of London means you're always in the middle of what's happening, and can experience some incredible festivals and events. King's even has gyms and a Be Active scheme which is super useful !

All in all, a very prestigious university. However, there have been issues with organisation of the course, including timetabling and work placement allocations.

Facilities are amazing. Having only visited the Guys and Waterloo campus I can say for these two, the campuses are great. My current course is fantastic but the only drop in star is due to the allocation of placements as they seem to drop the ball on these, the policies are too rigid with no room for flexibility. Overall the uni is great, societies are amazing, and the student union stays well connected with students via email.
