The placement of the campus is great with lots of food establishments both on campus and around, making it easier to study for longer at the library. It is also close to both elephant and castle and Southwark underground stations so the commute is simple. Most of the buildings are modern and have a spacious feel, although I would like to add that I was underwhelmed by the business school as it seems slightly outdated compared to the rest of the university facilities. The staff are great and I have had great teaching along with materials so far. I would have preferred lecture theatres for my lectures to encourage me to attend as I enjoyed this experience at the previous university I attended, and so this has given it a more “high school” feel rather than university which is disappointing.

I think SOAS is a university that focuses on very inclusive and high-value programmes for society, but sometimes it needs to exercise these same factors in its management system. They also need a bit more order in some administrative processes.

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

I love how my uni has an employability focus and encourages students to reach their max potential through various schemes such as Future Ready career mentorship, Westminster Working Cultures and Westminster Employability Award

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.

The location in central London not far from where the UKs decisions are made is amazing. The library has most of the resources I need and if you can’t find something the library staff will happily try and make it available. The thing where the uni lets us down the most is admin.

Kingston University is an amazing place to study! I feel at home the environment and community are very friendly. Everything is very accommodating and accessible which makes such a big change feel manageable.

I'm an optometry student entering my third year in September 2024. The lecturers are very nice and supportive; however, the optometry students in Group C are extremely rude, disrespectful, and lack any sort of manners. Many of them speak poorly of you if you fall behind or are slow in your routine, and they refuse to collaborate despite knowing that practice is essential for skill improvement.

I love the university, my course is great and covers a variety of topics. The facilities on campus are amazing and I can book out the dance studios for free. The Roehampton students union is ok but the communication could be better between societies and also in general. I would love the RSu to host more events or at least support and promote other events at the union bar students can attend.
