There are quite a lot of study spaces, which is nice. If you’re feeling like you want a cafe buzz type of vibe, we have that, if you’re looking for more silent areas, we have that too.
The location is amazing for both the uni and the residences (SSA in particular) and the BeActive programme is amazing!!
Is very central , access to lots of resources
Top institution, the buildings are clean and the teachers are superb. I personally think that being in London, sometimes student life can feel more lonely especially since I started during one of the covid years. Moreover sometimes my degree feels very competitive and that there is a lot of pressure to know what we are doing after university which is hard because at 19 you barely know your self!!!
Love that the campuses are around the city and has great study spaces.
The societies and community is good. Some campuses facilites are better than others and not much mingling between campuses unless you go out if your way. Decent pastoral support if you seek it.
The opportunity it provides surpasses many other institutions. Just being in such a strategic location gives rise to many new experiences. The lecturers are really good at what they do.
KCL is really a good place to study. Their level of support for students is outstanding in my opinion and as a pharmacy student, I really do get the feel of becoming a pharmacist via the different activities and workshops that are a part of our curriculum. KCL also works close with very big employers and they provide us with the opportunity to connect through to them for future purposes.
The programme includes lectures which help the students cope with stress and develop the skill of self-reflection which is vital for this degree. We have great support with the KCL student union where anyone despite what course you partake in can ask for help. The lectures are in depth and we have a good relationship with the lecturers, making it comfortable for us to voice any concerns.
Best thing about uni is learning different studies and articles that scholars have produced for my course. It’s super interesting! The worst aspect is commuting as it’s a two hour journey
best - campus location worst - heavy workload
Best: located in central London Worst: wish there were more study spaces that looked nice

When I was a first-year international student, I was absolutely terrified by the prospect of living alone and starting afresh socially. King’s and its community, however, had been nothing but supportive, inclusive, and motivating at this time. I found not only many academic opportunities, but also extra-curricular societies which encouraged me to transition into university life more smoothly. The worst aspect of my university experience would have to be the incessant strikes. As an international student who has to pay twice the fee of a home student, it is not only financially frustrating but also extremely academically exhausting to lose out on our required studying for something that is not our fault. It would only be fair if we were are compensated for the lost time with at least make-up classes, or reduced fees.
I really like all of the resources and libraries, especially, for a biomed student like me, the access to the Gordon Museum as it is a fascinating place.
Great staff and students. Rats on campus. Bad admin

The location has amazing views and a lovely atmosphere! It’s central to a lot of great resteraunt and entertainment
A very diverse university with exceptional lecturers (especially the maths department). Location of the university is very convenient since food places, shops, libraries etc are all within a walkable distance. Kcl lecturers by far is what makes my experience in university better since they deliver lectures with such passion & are very engaging. It is also nice to have prayer rooms & societies such as ISOC since it is nice to balance out academics with religion or other hobbies. Overall, absolutely thrilled to be a student at King’s college london.
