What students say about legal-theory

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

What students say about legal-theory

The supervisors, Phd office, students and the university itself have been wonderfully supportive. It is easy to criticise minor issues or those beyond the universities control, but overall it is just a great place to be and study. The Students Union could improve the way it deals with people as I did not find them particularly supportive, but then maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will still give them 4 stars since they mean well.

What students say about legal-theory

The only negative is that the accommodation is really expensive. Otherwise, the course is well structured, interesting and there is lots of support from lecturers and supervisors. The college system and socials gives a strong community feel and makes it easy to make friends. The city is lovely and in walking distance and has a great night life. There is always something going on
