Such an amazing uni in the heart of London. Everyone on the course has been amazing and I have met so many lovely people. The support structure for healthcare students is really good with lots of points of contact to speak to when needed. The only thing that could have improved my situation experience would be better communication between the uni and our placement trusts.
It is super expensive to live in but the location is amazing. The staff are super helpful too
Great campus with great location. Also have a lot of support for science students in terms of library services Cons: Disorganized admin team
Best - lovely lecturers, nice campuses and union facilities Improvements - prices
Good: area, course Bad: sometimes course timetable can be difficult e.g. 6 hr gap between tutorial and lecture, or 6hrs of tutorials and lectures back to back is draining

lacks facilities for students and has limited space for studying/lounging mostly the libraries and rooms are all full.
Great uni but lacks sports facilities and support with this. I have completed a degree elsewhere and they encouraged more of a work life balance.
One of the best experiences I have studying at King‘s is the endless number of facilities and study spaces that can be utilised. My campus - strand campus has several spaces located on all floors where studying is available. Furthermore the strand campus is extremely close to the Maghaun library, which has a number of faculties from endless books to computer spaces and study spots. Being upset of London Universities we also have accessibility to several other libraries located in London. E.g. the LSE library. Being in the heart of london we have the opportunity to go into Covent Garden in a 10 minute and close proximity with Piccadilly Circus. Parts of London tourists come to see and it is great we have this on our doorstep. A negative of my university experience will be the cost of living crisis. Being a full time student in one of the most expensive student cities is not easy especially with the current inflation it can be stressful but luckily there are structures in place that can help.
Best: - location - facilities Worst - lack of support
The support and enthusiasm from all teaching staff is amazing no matter the issue, I will always feel heard and listened too. The community feel on campus is also very unified considering it’s a city campus
As a student midwife, I am satisfied with the teaching and the comforting environment that enables me to improve my skill set and excel in my learning. I also enjoy the variety of societies that makes student life enjoyable and introduces new interests, developing my character. However, it seems the uni flaunts a student led uni and although they have listened to some voices in which we appreciate, they fail to execute a sufficient plan to support these students. Also as a healthcare student, our commitment to our careers through placement takes up most of our free time, making it impossible to negotiate with part time jobs on schedules and hours, resulting in little to no pay. The uni have advised us to not take jobs whilst on placement, but with this in mind it also makes it difficult to have a sufficient income for ourselves and family.
Amazing locations across London, lots of activity groups and great facilities on campis
the humanities/ arts departments feel less funded than sciences or business
Best: - constant hands on experience Worst: Poor communication between departments and students. Late notices
Best aspects are definitely the social life and the community feel created my students. KCL is very inclusive! The worst aspects would be the teaching provided by some lecturers and their tardiness/inability to adhere to timetabled lectures.
Living in student accommodation you get to meet so many people!
