The best part is definitely the student life. The worst part is quite honestly the strikes and the refusal of the higher management and Dean to pay our tutors and lecturers fairly.

The worst aspect is probably the lecturers. They are great at what they do but at times I feel they are not that great at engaging and teaching us about their expertise.

King's is stellar in everything except the location of the Denmark Hill campus, where my course is based and all my classes are conducted. I understand that that's something that is not going to change though.

I love how we get a diversity of backgrounds of the professors/researchers that come in for our lectures. There have been some whose credentials I was absolutely starstruck by, both inside and outside of KCL, and the level is incredible generally as well. I also love how they all seem very accessible and I and many of my classmates have had extensive conversations with many of them outside of lecture as well. Lastly, I want to give big props to the program administrative team who have been amazing about student support, and KCL in general does seem to have great provisions for us - sometimes more than my US undergrad program did (which was a pleasant surprise as I had heard from students of other London universities that the feel like they have to fend for themselves completely). Downsides, this will sound weird but I honestly think my only complaint is that many of the topics we had lectures on deserved a lot more hours to expand on these topics. Dr. Dag Aarsland, who just gave us a lecture for the Neurodegeneration B module, for example, was very concise yet we could not go through the extent he wanted to teach in the one hour he had. I remember other lectures in the A modules as well where I felt the same. On the other hand, I think the statistics workshops in R were too long and some of that time could maybe be used for these other topics instead. In general, we have way fewer lecture hours than I expected before starting the MSc and we could be busier with those.
