Love my course it is extremely engaging and the campus is beautiful. The lecturers are inspirational and the feedback is also incredibly useful. The career links are valuable and the international rankings makes me feel proud of my degree when speaking to other people.

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.

I've been at the University for a month and a half, so far I can say that the facilities such as the social spaces in Bush house are always kept clean and comfortable, providing a great place to relax between, after and before lectures. My course (physics) has been very challenging to say the least, however most of the lectures are thorough in their teaching, although one does go through new concepts relatively quickly and one doesn't explain all concepts properly.

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

I took the BA Geography at Kings and really enjoyed my course. I was on the Strand campus, which is extremely central. My closest library was Maughan at Chancery Lane which boasts a huge variety of academic materials that undoubtedly helped me during my studies.

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 !!

Kings is a very good university with a very good reputation, having been there myself, in first year, and I am in second year, I can advise for people to go there. There are so many associations, people you can meet, the teachers are nice, but you have to attend every class or you will end up having bad grades. I would recommend choosing a more « humanities » course at King's because they are the best in London in this catergorie.

KCL is the perfect university for people who want to study in London. It is diverse and there is always something happening.

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.

King's College London has some of the most beautiful, historical buildings located in multiple central London campuses. It is world- renowned for it's research and academic staff. Studying biomedical sciences here is truly a privilege!

Campus for the business school is very nice. Newly renovated and staff and facilities are good. The course also has a nice mix of modules. Furthermore, there are careers events that are available all the time.

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.

It is an amazing Uni that offers a lot of support for everyone and is always encouraging its students to pursue further and more.

With all three campuses situated in the heart of London, the location couldn't be any greater. I am studying Medicine at Guy's campus (London Bridge), thus will be at university for at least 5 years and graduate when I am at least 25. This is why I wanted a working city rather than a university-orientated city, and this is exactly what London offers. The facilities and curriculum for my course are excellent, and I have found the staff put great effort into their teaching, which is not always the case, especially with researchers who may prioritise this over their teaching role.

The campus I'm on isn't great, there aren't many facilities and barely anywhere to sit and socialise. The library is also incredibly small and difficult to find space in. Waterloo campus

King's is probably one of the best known schools in London, with a reputation for quality education, good faculties, facilities and more... Our student bars are quite frequented and Bush house is a great addition to the Kings buildings, considering most of them other than Guys campus aren't particularly aesthetically interesting or pleasing (LOOKING AT STRAND). The counselling services are good if you manage to ever get an appointment and faculty is helpful, well versed in their areas of expertise and not completely unapproachable. The student body is quite a variety of people from different backgrounds, religions, regions and orientations so there are plenty of people to connect with and learn more about which makes the experience at Kings a well rounded one.

Overall acceptable university but organization could be improved a lot. Also competition is very high due to the large number of students, so it happens often that events are over booked and no spaces available

The campus and facilities are suitable and he campus is good. The history department is generally well run but lacks some organisational skills. The SU runs separate from the sports programme which makes how sports teams are run quite poor. Student services have been helpful but are sometimes slow.

High quality of facilities and faculty, the antithesis of a 'campus university' experience. could be more integrated with the city around it but mostly a really great place to study whilst maintaining a normal and good quality life.

Student union has many societies. Career services are excellent, very supportive. My experience has been great so far! I feel like I have a lot of support through student services.
