Beautiful campus in central London ! Facilities are great and lots of study spaces ! Lecturers are very supportive and always available for help - office hours are very helpful and convenient (especially for students who don’t live on campus / near London ).

What is undeniable is the amazing location and the overall experience the university brings because of being at the heart of one of the most vibrant cities. I love the multiple opportunities the university brings you and moreover the content of my own degree.

King’s College London is truly an exceptional institution. With 5 campuses scattered around zone 1, King’s College London has superb facilities that cater for different courses as well as students from different background. The ethos of the university, in addition, is a warm, friendly and welcoming one that Champions diversity and treating others with the utmost respect. It is clear to see why the University is in the global university top 30 list. The student union, unbureaucratic and wholly representative, embodies the principles of diversity and equality and seeks to inject fun into students’ lives.

The community at King's is extremely friendly and inclusive. Lecturers and professors are approachable and always up for discussions around the course and research. Only issue is the disorganisation of the residences/accommodation department.

Campuses are generally lovely. The course is interesting but some modules are either not intellectually stimulating or disorganised. Student union and gym facilities are some of the best I have seen.

The MBBS programme at King's College London has been reformed to provide students with opportunities for comprehensive clinical learning from as early as the second year. With a mixture of lectures, tutorials, dissections, simulation workshops and clinical placements, students can immediately begin augmenting their preclinical knowledge with clinical experiences, preparing us for life as a doctor from the outset. To top it all, Guy's Campus is situated in the ideal location of London Bridge, a hub of innovation and marvellous sights.

Has three main campuses which is nice. Each has pretty good facilities and libraries open 24/7 which is very convenient. For the most part facilities are good but sometimes tutorials are overpacked and lectures are conducted in lecture theatres that don’t have desks. The wide variety of societies is great. Also the student body is very diverse in all aspects of the word which is great.

Love most things about this university including the attentive lefturers on my course- ma sustainable cities, student Union is great, love the cheap coffees at the cafe. Never used the careers service so far. Coursework marks are back quite slowly - I have waited a month before for a masters mark. The rooms are generally good and fit for purpose but I have found myself in lecture halls more than once that aren’t large enough for the number of students.

Good experience and very good staff. I have a lot of fun with my society and friends that i made while studying in london. It has also made me very independent in my study and exam preparation

The medical campus is beautiful - you feel as if you are on a film set. The facilities are first class with the Ability to study on 3 premises. The course is great with over 400 students - you will never have a boring day! The career services are friendly and approachable allowing you to make the best choice for your future. Student union is so much fun with a great night on a Wednesday and serving good quality food. I fully recommend this uni to everyone!

The best location to study in! Every campus is in central London, so you really can explore! Has some pretty cool buildings around London too - Bush House, Somerset House, the Maughan library to name just a few. Societies are the best way to make friends but everyone is so nice at Kings anyway!

Overall the teaching is good but the admin organisation is so bad it detracts from everything else. Also the SU and student community isn’t great if you’re not in a sports society

The positives of the university are the teaching and international reputation it holds. In terms of the teaching distinguished professors are not afraid to take 2hr seminars with students and are generally always available and happy to meet subject to research days etc. Linked to this is it’s reputation both domestically and abroad, with King’s considered a top university by employers. King’s lacks in terms of student satisfaction but this is know by applicants. Overall excellent university that will provide and excellent degree but perhaps not so much the other parts of uni life.

The location is really bad, not a very student friendly location I would say. However the university has opened a really nice new building (bush house) which has been being upgraded and expanded. The facility is good if your main campus is bush in bush house since all is new. The facilities in other campus are old. The quality of the course is more towards research compared to other uni course. Career service is the best, so use it well. I can't really say anything about the organisation as it depends on your department. The student representative of my department is doing good coping with the complaints from the students.

I study medicine at kings. They introduced a new curriculum the year before I started which meant that students have clinical exposure a lot sooner than most other universities allow. This was a great feature for me as I learn best through practice! The campus I’m mainly based at is Guy’s in London Bridge. This particular campus itself is great however it is difficult to meet people outside of your course unless you live in halls. Kings has so many campuses dotted around London so it doesn’t have a traditional campus feel unfortunately. Having said that the facilities are great. We have some amazing libraries and study rooms and plenty of space to hang out with your friends too. I am a committee member for a society here at Kings and I can say that the student union is extremely helpful in organising events etc! The range of societies available is incredible so you’re bound to find something you like!

King's college London is placed at a great location in the center of London. The teachers are all extremely qualified and it offers great facilities, such as the library. The atmosphere is extremely diverse, thanks to the big amount of international students, however the food in the cafeteria lacks quality and it's price is rather expensive.

King's makes you feel welcome since day 1. It is quite hard for a student to feel at home in such a huge city as London is. And still, King's, it's professors, students, and especially the societies makes uni life a dream. Campus is awesome. Staff is mostly super nice and friendly and alumni are too. Tutorials are hugely helpful when lecture topics haven't been understood properly. Teachers are close and caring. It's campus location couldn't be better. Right in the heart of the city, laying besides the Thames River; King's students benefit from a vibrant atmosphere in and outside campuses. From theatres to cafes, shops to monuments, everything is within walkable distances. Nothing bad to say at all!!

Students at Kings are great as is the location. I am based largely at the Guy's Campus in london Bridge right next to Borough Market and a short walk to waterloo. The way the lectures are taught is however very old fashioned and the majority involve being talked at for hours on end. Many of the lecturers teaching on my course are not actually qualified in the profession the course is aimed at so content of the lectures is often misguided.

I find that KCL is a great choice to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics. The lecturers are dedicated to their respective fields and it shows in their teaching. Overall a great university experience although administrative issues are resolved fairly slowly.

In the newly opened building of Bush House north east wing there is a student pub named The Vault. Deposited of substituting the legacy waterfront of strand it brought that international and modern feel. The drinks as cheap as before. They offer wide range of snacks too with curly fries being my favourite.

Lectures and course structure is good. The campuses are beautiful. However the lecturers take a very long time to mark and return work. But the major issue is with the admin. The DSA support is very minimal.

Busy university. Not the best for student support and well being. Very diverse community. Offering many learning opportunities reflected in the degree options provided be the university.

Amazing university with a huge range of services. The sports fitness centres are great with good facilities. The cross campus gym membership has been so helpful for many. Academic staff are all very knowledgeable and mostly have excellent teaching methods. All other staff at the university campuses are friendly and make the uni experience that much better

I've felt incredibly supported by the uni through my own personal struggles, however there absolutely is a sense of classism in the uni through their extortionate student accommodation rents - London may be expensive but don't make it more expensive for your already struggling students!
