When you go to lectures the sessions are delivered with clarity, and they are engaging as well as our smaller workshops which are always helpful as they aid us in consolidating our knowledge and this is possible because our campus has facilities to meet all of our teaching needs and develop our skills.
Best-facilities Worse-don’t feel adequately supported when completing assignments. Not enough mental health support available for students from all walks
King's has a great location and supportive staff. However, I feel that most areas around the university are dated and old feeling. New modern places would be much more appreciated with more places to relax around university.
The campus I am based (strand) at has great facilities and is a very good place to study, however I have heard from others that their campuses don't have as many facilities and aren't as comfortable to be in.
Social life is amazing since the location is very good. However, student accomodations are very poor in my experience. They could be improved in order to make university life a lot better for students. Teaching is good overall, but I feel like more support could be given in certain modules.
The campus is very well located however sometimes due to strikes it is hard to make it onto campus. Student services are helpful however sometimes take a while to respond to inquiries. For a better experience it would be helpful if the schedules were more Consolidated as sometimes there are 3 to 4 hour gaps between classes.
Great
There are a lot of study spaces on my campus and loads of support is available for all students.
good: great facilities (bush house) and resources bad: expensive and badly organised sometimes

Improvements can be made to the facilities as I am only based in one campus that is significantly smaller than the others

I like my university a lot. The classes are of great quality and the professors are knowledgeable and professional. The campus is very central and has a nice feel - both historical and modern. Facilities are very good, the library is beautiful. My only point of concern is the strikes and how it impacts the students. I think universities should make an effort to pay their staff decently. It is shameful that students have to pay the cost of the university’s mistakes and mismanagement. I truly hope that the professors and tutors will be remunerated better and finally get the respect that they deserve from the university. As a student, I really felt inconvenienced by the strikes and I truly hope solutions will be reached soon. Thank you.
Great central location, but student mental health support is abysmal. It's also mostly very wealthy students which can be pretty daunting for lower income students. Research facilities and career help is better than most universities.
The uni has great facilities. What I love the most is the 24/7 will’s library. The rustic shelves around never fail to motivate me to study. Also, the toilets in Addison house are very clean, so it’s plus point for me. I also appreciate the tight security at all point of entry. Makes me feel very safe in the campus. Some of the lecture halls and rooms are very cold. I hope they fix the heating soon. Some of the chairs and tables in wills library are a bit shaky.
Nice central area generally making commuting easy - and for many people in London this means you can save money by staying at home! The teaching and facilities can sometimes be a bit lacklustre, however. Timetabling, complicated and convoluted systems, last minute changes... they've not adapted as well as some other universities.
Student life is hard being in such a big city, and no main campus. However, there are many societies that bring people together based on similar aspects of one's life. Being on the strand campus makes it such a perfect location as it is right in the center of London, with so many things surrounding the area. What could be improved is the number of strikes that occur within the university, as well as possibly the canteens within the university to be for free during a time like this with a living crisis, international students pay so much money for tuition already therefore it would be a nice gesture.
I love living and studying in such a dynamic city and feel that my education is aided by being in such close proximity to locations and influences that we bring up in class. My education could be better if the department had better resources and listened to its students needs.
It is great, the classes are nice and very insightful, the campuses are a mix of modern and traditional feel. There is a great emphasis towards student life and supporting students with unions and opportunities.
Amazing facilities. Friendly staff.

Friendly staff, clean and spacious building, interesting topics, lots of freedom for independent study
Best: Friendly staff, interesting reading material, always linked to over arching themes. Worst: sometimes, independent study is not guided enough
Easy to get to, close to lots of transport links, close to lots of restaurants/cafes
