I am really enjoying studying Biomedical science at UCL, but the course is hard and very demanding. In terms of social aspects however, it's great and there is a lot to do in London. Just be prepared to work. I would say that some teachers need to develop better teaching and communication skills. That is the downside to studying. I live in Hughes Parry halls. It's great fun and they throw really good parties. I am also really enjoying the city life. The uni facilities could be improved. most departments have their own study rooms and hubs, but Biomed students don't, which is quite unfair. I am part of the hockey team and it's absolutely great. It does take time to train and it is a very competitive sport ,but you really feel a sense of belonging and it is great fun. We also hold events at the students union which are great. UCL generally has great graduate prospects, and they already get us involved and looking at careers that we could get into with a Biomedical Science degree. Tips for getting a place at UCL would be to write a good personal statement and do relevant work experience. Get involved in clubs and think of the other qualities that would help you aside from the academic side of stuff. Saying that, the grades are still the most important.

I can not believe they closed the Starbucks here it's crazy. I have no idea what the student union do. Oh and they need better bathrooms and kept in a lot better condition.
