Best experience would have to be the independance, we are free to do what we like such as go to the library to study, go to the canteen on site and have food with friends as well as enjoy all of the facilities provided without grief or altercations Worst experience would have to be the lack of character. The university seems quite off especially compared to other university's nearby. I feel as though (could just be my campus Roehampton Vale for Engineering) lacks a sense of it being MY university. I've visited Middlesex university, Brunel, Greenwich and Lancaster University and every time I visited it felt great like its a whole community there. Students happy socializing, enjoying loads of facilities provided like fairs, gyms, sports areas, large chill areas and such. It felt like a place that's more than just going to daily to study and get my degree, it felt like a sense of purpose whilst at Kingston, for the last 4 years it genuinely feels like a place I just come to, to study, get work done and occasionally chill with mates. Besides that not much else. I don't ever feel inclined to come in on my days out of my timetabled lectures (besides for studying) as I feel it's just a waste of time.

Best would have to be the knowledge I am gaining from learning about Aerospace Engineering. I feel like I have learnt a lot about how aircraft fly, function, are manufactured and the engineering behind these aspects like fluid dynamics, CAD, electronics and such. Worst would have to be the extra stuff such as: labs, field trips, and extra facilities provided. For the price we are all paying for this degree and to study here, I feel like a lot more can be offered than just lectures teaching us from slides for 7 hours a day. The campus has a aircraft simulation machine, motorsport section with plenty of vehicles as well as a whole private Kingston University plane! yet in the 4 years I have been here, I have done nothing with these facilities here and it feels like a lost opportunity

The main Campus (Penrhyn Road) is in the heart of Kingston so has many options for food, shops, clubs, pubs and stuff so it is great with loads of public transport as well. My main campus (Roehampton vale) is off the side of a dual carriage way with limited things near by, BUT since it is so small, its very relaxing and quiet as well as easy to chill in. There is also a MASSIVE Asda about a 2 min walk away with a McDonalds inside too which is great for some lunch or shopping if you live nearby as well as regular busses to go to and from the campuses and the nearby town. So the bad thing would be my campus is quite in the middle of nowhere but if you travel by car or motorcycle, its easy to get around

The university is based in London so commuting can be troublesome. There are several campuses but as long as you are only required at one then this isn't an issue. A free shuttle bus is provided between sites but I have not yet had to use this.

As a part time student I have little physical contact with the university. I have found that the online material provided is satisfactory but can be a little confusing to navigate and not necessarily organised optimally. The staff are always helpful though and promptly answer any questions. I would prefer the residential weeks to be online though to prevent the need for travel and accommodation.
