It's my first year at KCL so I'm undecided as to whether the course/lectures are any good yet. My 1st lecture was rubbish but my 2nd lecture was great. Majority since have been good and I feel the lecturers are actually interesting people as well as being knowledgeable about the subject. Accommodation is good, location is so central and I'm moving to my own studio apartment soon which will be even better. Canteen food is terrible!

I'm really enjoying my course because I'm learning about what I'm actually interested in. The only negative is that there's not a lot of module options on my course. Lecturers are mostly good. You need to stay in halls to get the best out of uni- the poeple in my halls are great. Facilities are also pretty good.

Living in London ia great. Facilities are fantastic, they have everything you need.Concentrate on getting good A level grades! Do as much preparation before you start as possible, it's much harder than it sounds. Get your accomodation application in early too if you want to live in halls.

Swansea really takes extra effort to make sure that the students are happy and facing no problems. Every problem any student faces can be solved by a designated team for that problem. Till date I have never heard anyone say that their problem was unsolved. This is a really helpful thing. I feel swansea is the best university specially for engineering. There is wind tunnel and a simulator for aerospace students. The tie up of the university with major companies is also great. The university also offered many scholarships so if you try you might get one. I will recommend swansea to any student who is ambitious and willing to work hard.

Swansea has the craziest of the craziest party people. Weekends are just mad around student halls. This is the thing which i really dint expect out of swansea. The campus of the university is massive and has everything available inside what a student needs. A new campus has been built a few miles away from the current campus which is more huge and better equipped. The sports village is an amazing department but the membership is a bit expensive. The olympic size swimming pool is a treat for swimmers. My lecture timetable is such that I don't have too many classes on one day and I think thats perfect. Kudos swansea :)

The thing I dont like about swansea is the accommodation provided to students. The rooms are super small are very noisy. The student village is far away from the campus like a 40 min or so walk or a 10 min bus ride. The security is amazing and i suppose everyone feels safe here. Some staff members are rude sometimes but I come across such people rarely. The library has a large collection of books based on every subject and that too in super depth. Research and projects are very easy to do and wont take up much of my time. Every student is in love with the wine street because thats the place where all the clubs are.

I love football and the best thing about swansea is their football club. The university is the best and also the football club is working up. If you are a student at the university, you get discounted tickets for matches held at the liberty stadium. I think this is the coolest thing about swansea. The academics are very decent and the campus is fantastic. Whatever type of a person one can be, studious, partyholic, book worm, adventurous anything, there is something on the campus for everyone. This is the best student environment i could have asked for.

Swansea is my home town. I have been living here since 19 years now. This is the far most the best place I can choose to study. Weekends can be so much fun with places like Gower so close with daily buses going there. When you probably go to the uni, you can see that all students are always chanting about wine street. Surely if you are a party animal thats the place. Another beautiful place is the dock. With all the yachts parked the place is very beautiful to chill around in the evening. The university is also pretty good and has some amazing faculty for engineering. I am not sure about overall ratings, but engineering is fantastic in swansea.

I really hated my time here at this university. I did Biomedical Sciences. I had few problems with the course itself, the lectures were too fast, unclear too and labs pretty much every single day, so at about 8pm you go home. I didn't like the people in the course either it filled with foreigners, as a British person, i felt sooo left out amongst hordes of Chinese and eastern Europeans. Only 2 british people in my course!My biggest disappointment was accommodation. It was horrendous. Obviously as a student who has worked very hard and stressfully for A-levels, we would be expecting UCL (being the 4th best university in the world..) to provide us with decent accommodation. However i was thoroughly disappointed with both your accommodation and the accommodation staff at their office. I initially applied for a single ensuite room, and recieved the complete opposite thing; a non-ensuite twin room.They just dont bother looking up at anyone's applications. The long winded application is a complete waste of time, as we students have to spend a good few hours of revision time to fill in this useless application. I was at Max rayne house and it was a dreadful experience there. The buses outside DO NOT STOP in the mornings, so even if we step outside at 7am for 9am lectures, theres just no point in waiting for a bus. Its awfully far away; they expect everyone to walk there and back. To walk there it takes 45mins, and is such a long walk. Also, the bins in the kitchens do not get emptied regularly.People at ucl socialise by going to different events by going together with their flatmates in their corridors. If you have a bad corridor or live in private accom, you wont have a social life. And in a big city like London, its gets real tough, REALLY fast.

I am a huge foodie and swansea hasn't let me down. Every type of cuisine is available all throughout the city. The indian food at Pati raj is just great. Apart from the food, relays is a great place to be. The atmosphere in the pub during football is worth it. A drink with my mates during matches is more than fun. Transportation is not an issue as there are always buses running from the student village to the university and city centre. Swansea is best known for its beauty. The university is also very beautiful with the biggest park in wales besides it. The park is a bit scary in the night but during the day its a place to hangout. Probably another place which none can miss is the cafe 360 at the beach. Swansea is the best thing which has happened to me.
