I really enjoy studying at Imperial how could you not? It is in the centre of London and is one of the best universities in the world. I really enjoy my course as it covers a wide range of material and modules, and also the tutors are very helpful which is a massive bonus. I find the facilities great, the library is really good and so are the labs that we do all our practical work in. My only gripe is that the practical sessions can often go on to long, but I really enjoy the lectures. I live in London love the city a lot its great for everything from shopping, to the parks, to the nightlife, it has EVERYTHING. My tip to anyone looking to study here is to do your research before your interview and really try and impress the university with your knowledge. Also work really hard.

Living in London and studying at Imperial has made my life so good. I love being in the middle of one of the most buzzing and active cities in the world and also studying at one of the most respect universities there is. I find the course and lectures very helpful and the facilities to help me with my studies are top quality. The student union is a great place to go to unwind on a Friday evening or at the weekends and they regularly hold activities and events to bring the university together. My one and only tip for getting a place at imperial is to make sure you study HARD!

Imperial has some of the best facilities available for students, the library is endless and has all the books you could need, the computer rooms are vast and are available 24 hours a day, AND there is even a 24 hour gym on campus! I find the teaching staff to be really easy to get on with and very helpful, they have been a great help in my studies. My main tip to anyone looking to study at Imperial is work very hard and get the best grades you can to give you the best chance of getting a place.

The course is certainly not what I was expecting, it does not cover the topics that I was looking to study when I came to university. Although facilities wise it is a very good university to be at as it has a fantastic library, lots of labs and also computer rooms to work in. I love being in London as it is such a beautiful city and there is so much to do all the time. I am not a big fan of the students union as it is pretty boring and nothing really happens there. Overall though I enjoy being in London and know that if I work hard I will come out with the degree I want and find a job where I want to work. A tip for getting a place is to put down that you are applying to Cambridge as well, as it will make them realise you are a serious candidate who is willing to study very hard.

I am really enjoying being in London, there is so much to do here, too much to be honest if I was to do it all I would probably fail my course haha. My course is fantastic, the tutors are all very good at giving lectures and seminars and cover all the content that I am looking to learn. I am also a member of the german society which I really enjoy and have met lots of great people there. My advice to anyone looking to get a place at Imperial is to work hard and get the best grades you can and know your subject.

The course I am studying at imperial is really great and I am really enjoying my time in London. The infrastructure of the university is phenomenal how it binds all its extensive research into our studies it really stimulates us as students to reach for the stars. I find London a wonderful city to live in and have so much more yet to see. I also love my tennis and am a member of the tennis team which is brilliant. Its very hard work being here but it is very rewarding.

I love being at Imperial and am really happy I chose to study here. My accommodation is the best part, I have a huge room which also includes a kitchen and it is a lovely flat. I would go as far to give my accommodation 11 out of 10! The only down side for me is the tube, I really hate it when it is busy of their are delays it can get very frustrating. The student union on the other hand is a really great venue, they have lots of events and the drinks are really cheap to. My main tip for anyone looking to get a place here is to understand the subject you are looking to learn and to read up about it a lot before your interview, know your subject inside out and you should be more than able to impress them at the interview.

From the very beginning of my time at Imperial I found it to be a very welcoming and friendly environment to be in. The course I chose has all the relevant information I was looking to study and also is very comprehensive in its depth and delivery. We also get a guest speaker come in every week to speak about a different area of industry which we could go into, which I find really interesting. I really like the accommodation I have chosen as It means I have a fifteen minute walk through hyde park to get to university everyday which I really enjoy. There are also fantastic facilities at my halls including a large common room and a bar, so it is a very sociable place to be. I am also a member of the chess and scifi societies which are both really well run and we meet regularly. My main tips to anyone considering coming to imperial is to work hard and reach for the moon.

I am having a great time in London at Imperial studying IT, the course and lectures are all relevant to what it will be like working in the industry and the lecturers have some really helpful tips on how to get into work after University. I really like the computer labs on offer at Imperial as they have all the programmes I need to use and are very well equipped. I really enjoy going to the gym and working out so it was great when I found out there is a free gym open 24 hours on campus. The only downside for me is how expensive the accommodation is and it also is not very nice. On the plus side I joined the gaming society and that was great, everyone was really friendly and it really helped me with making friends at university. My main tip for coming to Imperial is to save up as it is very expensive and work really hard as well.

As an institution Imperial College has all the makings of a fantastic educational facility. It has top notch facilities such as its extensive library and ample labs and computer rooms, but for me the course has not lived up to how good the uni is. I am not particularly interested in what they teach in the lectures and I find the staff commitment to the students to be pretty poor as I rarely get any one on one time with my tutors to go over any questions I have. Also the amount of hours of lectures a week is very small and you are expected to do a majority of the research yourself which I understand, but it really is a very small amount of contact time you get for the amount of money you are shelling out.
