Best - Supportive staff
The location is the main thing. Right in the middle of London. Our lecturers need to be paid what they deserve. Facilities need to be updated, especially Virginia Woolf Building and Macadam Building. Lots of emphasis placed on the shiny Bush House.
Travel. travelling into London from zone 6 is a bit of a hassle as it takes an hour in and an hour back out
The course is enjoyable but there are times when it feels like the university doesn’t respect me. For instance, students are being charged increasing amounts and teachers are striking (which impacts my education), but the university is making few changes. There are also very few facilities for engaging in my hobbies (inc sport, games, etc) which has harmed my social life.
Located in the heart of central London, it makes commuting incredibly easy and accessible. The university has a plethora of facilities, including gyms, that make student life in an already expensive city that much easier.
Support from lecturers would make kings a better place to study I have noticed more student are stress about grades and work load in which has impacted many other students like myself And at the end feel discouraged

Strand building classrooms in the lower floors could use better ventilation
The staff and facilities are great and make it a great place to study
Best aspects for our university is that they always look out for student feedback and academic staff is very approachable and easy to communicate which helps us to improve our understanding of the course. The worst part of university is that they should have more diverse food options in cafeteria.
The location is lovely, easy access. The atmosphere is good. I find that the way the lessons are taught is not carefully planned out. I learn better from pictures and most lectures do not include photos. Also at times the lesson feel rushed Difficult to get one to one support with your tutor. During placement we still have days that we need to be in university
The facilities are good, there is a good student atmosphere to study and socialise. I think the university could organise more activities for during working hours, for example certain study rooms are open during the day.

Student union really makes up the university experience, everyone is welcoming and friendly. The facilities are accessible and healthful. However the student support such as admin can do better with helping the students, they always take ages to get back and when they do it would not always be helpful. Admin at kings really needs to improve.
Good access to library resources and facilities in central London, but terrible administration with lack of organisation and empathy for students.

I definitely enjoy studying at King's College London. One of the best aspects for me is definitely the location, Strand Campus located right at the heart of London. Moreover, the campus is very safe, and with enough facilities. I enjoy the classes and teachers, and mainly the Maughan Library. One of the less appealing aspects of King's College London would be for me the small amount of contact hours, I would enjoy having more hours a week.
The location in central london is the best, and the professors are generally really good.

Best: location and campus globally is amazing, central London, easy access from the underground, and a mixture of good old (such as the library) buildings and new (bush house for instance). What could be improved is the amount of study space/rooms, sometimes it’s difficult to find a place to sit and study on campus, but overall a great university with amazing staff (both teaching and venue staff)
The best aspects would definitely be the convenience of the location, with having many of the best locations in London nearby as well as a great level of diversity and thought. The worst would be that some modules are difficult with not enough support given or resources which makes it sometimes feel like there's no hope.
4.1
The location and opportunities are great. The English department staff are particularly excellent, engaging and knowledgeable. The university’s sense of community is sometimes lacking and underdeveloped. Greater priority needs to be placed on caring for the students and staff at King’s, not just what looks good to outsiders.
My course is overall extremely enriching, thorough, and has provided me unexpected skills beyond academia. More in person and ‘compulsory’ contact with staff and other students would be good to get more out of the studying experience.
Great location and affordable options. SOME reception staff weren’t always helpful with issues.
