University College London

I did Economics at UCL. The lecturers are very helpful and really try to explain stuff to students. The only complains tend to be about the number of students, as I have the feeling that UCL is understaffed with too many students, that they don't have enough cares, and the tutors just can't help it. Receptionists can be more polite towards student, they tend to always be like they are giving us a favour instead of a service.

Going to this university was the best decision I've made . It has offered me so many opportunities to enrich my life in many ways . I would happily come back to do a PhD. The support and the excellent teaching is outstanding. The campus is spread amongst many buildings but everyone is very friendly and it is the perfect opportunity to make friends from all over the world as there is a high number of international students .

One of the best universities in the world. Campus is lively most of the time and easy to get to for lectures. The university is quite well equipped except for sports, unfortunately.

My student experience was highly pleasant at Univeristy College London as the teaching was to a very high standard and very industry focussed.

With a vibrant campus situated in a very good location in London, UCL has a large number of societies and activities always happening. My course has a reasonable number of contact hours with lecturers also being able to help via email and office hours. UCL seems to offer a good amount of student support, with personal tutor meetings and mental health services. However, there are occasionally issues with space such as the library being quite full (even in low season) or lecture halls not big enough for all students.

Having attended this university for my Masters year, I had already heard lots of rave reviews and I was not disappointed. The careers service are there to help you in any way possible, even after you've graduated which is arguably when you appreciate it the most! The standard of teaching is second to none and the university campus is beautiful.

UCL is a great university in terms of variety as you meet people from many different disciplines everyday. The downside of it is mostly in terms of organisation. Being such a huge university, i believe it struggles with general course organisation. An example of this for me was at the beginning of this year when my modules didnt get accepted on a misunderstanding. And those happen a lot. Nevertheless wouldnt want to be anywhere else.

So far the course has been well organised, however I wish that there were more resources available to us sometimes as I sometimes don't know where to begin

really good institution, excellent lecturers and research but student hall availability is low, and can be less expensive

the university facilities are a bit old and lack of sports facilities such as sports stadium and swimming pool

This is my fourth year in UCL and often I've found that its campus is unable to accommodate its student population, and we often had lessons at external venues that might not be conducive. However, UCL's research facilities are state of the art and I've gotten fantastic opportunities to use them.

I believe ucl has been ranked 7th in the world not only because of its level of research or education but because of its students and commendable teachers and tutors . They have an amazing student union and students hub . Coming from india where I wasn't exposed to so many societies and clubs here I have joined so many new clubs and societies . I love its cafe and pizza restaurant its pocket friendly and very tasty . The print room cafe has a very good ambience and great coffee. The overall building and campus is beautiful and unique which makes ucl the best .

I really enjoyed my time at UCL. The campus is centrally located by Euston station which is great. There's plenty of societies and extra-curriculars available, and they have recently built new buildings which on campus. There's a choice of two gyms, one at the university and one next door for University of London which you can get student membership with. I did BA Ancient History which was really enjoyable - I got to study a range of modules that included ancient languages and modern history too, as well as the opportunity to do interdepartmental courses or inter-collegiate courses from other UOL uni's. Overall three great years.

Overall the University is good. The lecturers are very helpful and have office hours where you can get extra help. The university cafe's are quite pricey for a student.

UCL has the best London campus with beautiful main quad. The libraries, although most crowded due to high volume of students, are very conveniently placed throughout campus

Overall a very good university. The location is second to none and the teaching is generally of a very high standard. The only thing to note is that there is not much of a student culture there.

UCL is a great space to pursue your studies. They give you all of the support you need to accomplish your goals. The interdisciplinary and diverse cultures that UCL reflects is the best.Career support, transferable skills from the doctoral school and problem solving oriented zone. Key elements that UCL encourages to help you increase your employability.The Union and all the support that it provides has been one of the best surprises. The work they do is excellent and always improving. A lot of work is going in around UCL. At times it can be difficult to find good study spaces, but they are working on it.

There are always many things to do apart from studying. The students union includes a huge number of societies that organize many weekly events. I love the fact that there career events almost every week and we receive emails and notifications about them. Also, Psychology department organizes writing labs to help us improve our skills which is super useful. This occurs every week and generally I find it amazing that they keep reminding us of work opportunities in the field of Psychology that are currently available around London. Additionally, its great that we have representatives-reps because we see that our views about facilities matter, last year we didn't like the lecture theaters because they were too small for the number of students and through our representatives we achieved to impove this minor issue. I love UCL and you'd love it too!

Loved the academic rigour and opportunities from UCL. Sometimes lecturers are too smart to teach well, but great for discussion or for pursuing research. Enjoyed the breath of activities and societies, as well as events even for non-drinking people like myself. Have to learn to manage your own time well considering the many things one could do. Feeds could be better. Not enough space for all the students right now on campus. My favourite bit was the Makespace which students could make and try new things. The global citizenship programme was also a good experience to have working with people from different courses and backgrounds. Career support is also ample. Overall had a good time in UCL.
