Sort:Latest reviewsBest: I love the staff and how consistently enthusiastic they are in teaching. you can really tell they enjoy their job worst: The student accommodation can be quite expensive (though they run an affordable accommodation scheme to mitigate this for lower income students to be fair; KAAS)
Such a lovely environment with very convenient locations around London, the support I've received during my studies has been amazing
Early patient contact, exam structure is good because in stages 2 & 3 you sit the same exam throughout, which means you are very prepared before summative exams at the end of each stage. As a struggling second degree student who is self-funding I have felt very unsupported.
The university is very cosmopolitan so it’s great to meet different people from different courses and it’s great to hear people’s experiences. The support regarding academic writing and thinking is not supported enough and a lot of students I’ve talked to have also agreed with that. More help in that area would be very appreciated.

Amazing location, especially strand campus. Good choices for accommodation, strand building is great to study in, maughan library too, great choice of resources. Friendly staff and personal tutors that genuinely care about your wellbeing.
The student life is vibrant with many different student interest groups and societies. However some facilities and equipment at the dental institute are sometimes broken and take a long time to be fixed, also some minor issues faced with timetabling (eg releasing the timetable very late)
Best: quality of lecturers and seminar leaders has been great, engaging and intense. Worst: the strikes have gotten in the way hugely, so if the VC could accept a bit lower pay that’d be cool. Although the pickets are asking for some odd stuff so who knows. Contact hours have been lacking basically.

The KCLSU is a real highlight, so many societies to be part of and there is always something going on that you can join in on. I have also had good experience with access to counselling and the disability service.
The student body is amazing. Everyone you meet here is a genius, whether it is immediately apparent or not. I have never come across such a large group of so many beautiful people before.
Its fab
King's campus is so nice and bush house is gorgeous, but Strand building and many humanities/arts facilities are neglected. King's education is good and most seminar leaders are great, but there are too many strikes :(
Lack of organisation by university
Lovely campuses. Teachers are great and always make time to see students. Could be improved by having more study areas within the uni other than just the library.
N/A
Great buzz and full of like minded individuals and great extracurricular activities including guest speakers and societies
The communication between SU and societies should be more cohesive
The people are great (in general) and there's lots to love about my course. The issue is that London is extremely expensive and if I do struggle with money, my parents won't be able to help me out financially.
Campuses are very nice, people are very friendly and helpful, resources are easy to access.
best - location is decent, lots of researchers and experienced people worst - some tutors can be harsh, teaching questionable at times, too many students, too much for uni to organise

Best aspect of uni is the support from lecturer's and personal tutor. Keats is fairly straight forward and I can recap all information online. Unfortunately the down side is moving from campus to campus. It gives us not enough time to eat or rest as some points. Fot example we may have a 30min break but have to relocate from London Bridge to waterloo .
I love being able to do clinical skills before placement to familiarise myself with the course and learn new key skills for the hospital. The least liked aspect of the course would be having to travel to campus for only 1 lecture that is 2 hours long.
Has plenty shops and placed to get food, easy public transport access. Unfortunately because of the busy location majority of the time buses are packed
