Sort:Latest reviewsThe best aspect is how central Strand Campus is. My main campus Guy's Campus is quite central as well, next to London Bridge station and Borough Market. However, my other campus, Denmark Hill campus, is quite far away from everything else.
Nice campus Too many strikes though
It's great!
I do not think there is much to be improved other than the compensation of the teaching staff at KCL. I absolutely love the faculty and facilities, but I do believe the class schedules are all over the place with regular absences and strikes. I also believe KEATS should be modernised and have a new interface.
Kings College London is a great place to study due to its location and accessibility to other campuses and facilities. However. some student facilities such as the cafes could be slightly more student-friendly in terms of price, as In my opinion they are as expensive as other coffee shops in London.
Best: the campus and library. It’s beautiful Worst: making friends with social anxiety :/
Being in Guys hospital for clinics and tooth waxing etc is very good as it allows us to be within the health care environment.
Great place to meet people all over the world and network with the biggest firms. However, negative feedback towards modules can be listened to more; for a module last semester nothing has been improved since then.
KCL is a great place to study because it has a student body made up of students from a range of nations and cultures. Which exposes its students to a range of perspectives and values which ultimately enhance our understanding of topics and our ability to problem solve. This is particularly the case in the Political Economy department. My university experience could be improved by increasing the size of the maintenance loan accessible from Student finance (this is beyond the control of KCL) as this would alleviate financial stress.
Everyone is very motivated to study. There are also many cool places such as the Mughan library and the gordon mesuem that is very amazing and very beautiful!
Best aspects are definitely the comfort of the lecture theatres and the professors as they teach so passionately about their subjects which encourages me to reciprocate the same energy when learning the content. The worst aspects are possibly the facilities such as the ladies bathroom and I do think it would be great to have a gym at the uni to encourage more physical activity in students (I do recognise that there are many sports extra curricular societies however I do feel that the university lacks a proper gymnasium).
The rooms are slightly outdated and I wish there were more study spaces in the medical campus. Living in London is expensive, I wish there were more accessible food areas where there were student friendly prices.
The location is definitely one of the best things about the university. Theres always something to do and places to go with friends and it never gets boring. However, sometimes it feels like there is no university 'feel' to it because it's not a campus-based university. It kind of feels like you are a part-time student just going to university for a couple hours and then going back home and living your life.
The uni is in a great location . I feel well supported academically by lectures.
There are many study spots available, and it's close to a library which makes it easier to find books and materials. I think it could be improved by raising professors' wages and listening to their complaints so that our studies are no longer affected by the union strikes.
Pros - great facilities, diverse opportunities, and modern-curriculum Cons - too many students meaning minimal opportunity to swap placements, poor admin, bad communications
Central location means that King's is situated within a thriving hub for arts, surrounded by prestigious concert venues such as the Southbank Centre and venerable institutions like the Courthauld, National Gallery.
Best: location, facilities, teachers who are passionate and who care Worst: total disorganisation within certain modules, constant striking, lack of guidance with assessed work, complete lack of support/knowledge of how to support students on their year abroad
Everyone is buddied up
4.1
The uni is located in a really good area. There is a lot of opportunities and chances to get involved everywhere. One thing that could be improved is perhaps study spaces. My campus is always packed and there is no places where i can sit down with no one around me. Librabry is constantly full, rooms can barely be ever booked.
The courses are too fast paced. Student can't have any other commitments if thats the quantity of content
