University College London

The campus has a lively atmosphere full of friendly students that make you feel at home. The large variety of societies and sports on offer enable you to meet lots of different people outside your course and keep you feeling involved and a part of the institution on a weekly basis. There are also a lot of societies for a range of different career routes. For instance I am a part of the Law for All society which holds several events weekly to help me engage and keep track of opportunities available.

Poor room allocation, but teaching good. Facilities in general not great. Course is good. The careers service has a good range of exclusive UCL jobs available.

This is my first year in UCL, but it has been a really welcoming and wonderful experience so far. The main campus of UCL is by far one of the nicest buildings there is in London. Other departmental buildings are very convenient and near the main campus as well. Facilities are very good as well, there are gyms, swimming pools, study space etc. that are very accessible and in great condition.

The campus is quite spread out so it doesn't have the safe campus feel of my undergraduate uni. They also don't seem to put much money into the facilities and just keep adding more and more students to cources. It's a good name to have on the CV but I definitely prefered my smaller undergrad uni UWE in Bristol. They put alot of money into the facilities. Also not as good with my dyslexia.

place is great. Great food. great people. a real trip all in all. will get more pints next time. main lib bit overrated. so is science lib. other libs are good tho.

Fantastic chemistry course, good lecturers and good lab facilities. Good student bars around main campus. Career fairs are frequent and we can also have 1-1 career advice meetings.

Birkbeck College, part of UCL, is a fantastic university. With extremely high quality tutors, facilities and course content, I cannot recommend it thoroughly enough. If you're considering starting a degree but still want to work, I would strongly suggest you check out Birkbeck. The support from tutors and uni staff is second to none. They're highly knowledgeable, patient and fun. No lecture was ever a chore for neither tutor nor student. I'd definitely go there again - MA, here I come!

The university is very academic but still has a lively atmosphere and great social activities. Lectures are great and the campus is beautiful

Despite the campus being a bit small for the many students at UCL, there are lots of libraries and places to eat on campus. The SELCS department in particular is really lovely and makes you feel part of a community

The academic research is excellent and the campus is in the heart of London which is a huge bonus. UCL can be very frustrating at times regarding administration. They will drag you through the mud, make you sweat blood and tears but at the end of the day they will get you want or where you want to be.

Facilities at UCL are generally good although some buildings are quite old and toilets can be dirty especially in libraries My course is amazing - anthropology would recommend to anyone interested in studying cultures and humans Never really used SU or careers services yet It's pretty well organsied

Not very homely but being in London is incredible, with world-class academics teaching you. Bentham House (Law Faculty) is also incredible. Bad thing is that there is not enough space for all UCL's students, so we end up having some lectures in hotels amongst other places.

I haven't started yet but it has been a quick and easy process applying unlike the ucas and I will get to study in my own time by myself which is great, can't wait to start

Over all good university in an amazing location. The archaeology department is full of amazing and smart teachers, with an even more amazing number of staff willing to advise, help, and support students.

I did law at UCL. The first positive is the standard of teaching, during first and second year when all modules are compulsory you get a high level of teaching, and are taught by the top academics in the country. However it is clear management and the higher ups in the law faculty just don’t care about the students. The people are fine and nightlife is what you make it but otherwise a very average university experience.

The English department was incredibly well run and all of the lecturers and professors were always welcoming and friendly. The tutor system was one of the best parts of the course as if enabled a one to one discussion about essays and any other course related work as well as providing an opportunity to discuss anything else that may have been important.

The university buildings are amazing and the lecturers are very helpful. The London life may be expensive but it is such a great city and definitely worth it. There is always something to do in London. The facilities and societies are brilliant too so you should definitely get involved.

All in all I have had a pretty amazing experience so far, though I do believe the University is managed poorly in some ways. The university campus looks beautiful and there is plenty of study space in the libraries (except for exam time but imo it's as good as it can get right now). My main complaint would be that, something you wont notice while coming as a visitor, many things just feel cheap. For example, the science Library bathrooms. The science library is the second largest library of UCL, and it has a grand total of 3 male toilets. Mind you, this is a library which is supposed to harbour up to 500 people. As a result of this the toilets obviously are dirty at all time and can never be properly cleaned, thus they smell. Another result that due to their high usage they're prone to breaking, thus it's not uncommon to have one of the three toilets broken, while the other two are being cleaned (the cleaning also isn't a quick process obviously, therefore have been times where as a male you would need to leave the building in a range of up to two hours if you wanted to take a leek, which in my opinion is just plain ridiculous for a University which likes to claim to be one of the best in the world.) Apart from that I believe it's really important what course you're doing at my University, and though I've loved my course (natural sciences) so far, I have to admit is managed extremely poorly. It's a interdepartmental degree and the departments simply do no communicate. Some of my fellow students have had times where they had 6 exams as well as some assignments all in a single week which even for the most ordered and least procrastination keen person impossible to balance. I am highlighting the bad parts though, all in all I truly have had an amazing time at UCL and I'm more than happy to continue my studies there next year. To obtain that last star of mine however UCL does still need to address some issues.

Being the oldest university in London, UCL's campus is rather historical. All of the buildings are within 15 minutes of walk and the location is quite central. Over the past 10 years, the number of students at UCL has doubled and now the some of the premises are being reconstructed to offer more space.

My university experience was relatively good, support was provided by our staff extensively in first year though later not always available. I found the societies and UCL union very welcoming and it was generally a great 3 years of my life.

The campus area and the facilities are brilliant. The student union is also very good, quite popular with the students actually. I've given a rating of 3 stars because the organisation and the management doesn't reflect the status of the university in its ranking within the global university position. I wasn't too happy with the support I received either.

The campus is amazing, looks pretty cool and there is plenty of space to rest in the sun while having lunch. There are lots of libraries, everybody can find their favourite. There are huuundreeeds of societies, in which everybody is more than welcome. However, uni should provide better IT facilities as the computers in clusters are unbelievably slow. My course (Civil engineeeing) is the best thing I could choose. Although the lectures are not as interesting as I thought, there is a lot of practise which I love (we just had a trip to Wales for two weeks to learn surveying - wonderful opportunity to make new friends and I also learnt more during this two weeks than during the whole year). Lots of practise give the opportunity to find a summer placement and develop yourself further. In general, although there are definitely some things UCL should improve, I'm pretty satisfied with this uni and my course.

A world reowned University making its students global citizens. It also gives immense oppurtunities career wise. The exposure level is very high.

University teaching staff for the biomedical faculty is mostly good, school facilities are pretty good and reasonably near each other. There’s also a string of a large range of vibrant activities going on in school all the time which is great for personal development.
