First gen student
Worst uni experience would be the first day of University, I fell flat on my face while running to catch the bus, I went to the gym early that morning so I guess leg day went too hard. Best Uni experience would be the same day, first day of uni, myself and a group of friends went out to get drinks and got familiar. We are best of friends now.!
One great thing about Kingston is the library named as Town House. Two things Kingston needs to improve in are: The organisation of modules; And the communication between students, where they are informed in advance of the assessments coming up and what exactly they will be about.
Kingston university is a place you call home and the university creates opportunities for every studies regardless of your social economic background. And very concerned about students wellbeing, finances and education
Kingston university is such a great place to study due to its diverse student population that helps you build up global connections and also the facilities at the university are very useful in successfully finishing your studies.
It makes it a great place to study for having a good location, where you can find different shops very close.
If they hosted better events for law students where barristers n judges could come before we apply for internship n to improve over networking . More control of the lecturers and their teaching method

Join a society, makes student life so much better!
The best is the union of kingston services and the worst is the facilities present
The best aspect is the student support and the help the university provides to ensure every single student reaches their maximum potential. One thing I would change is if there could be more events in the student union and one closer to Seething Wells Halls of Residence. The accommodation rarely has things on sight to do, however the free University bus is extremely useful and allows easy access to the events but would love for there to be somewhere closer.
facilities like computers, programmes and workshops you can take advantage of. How you specialise it for yourself when education is a generalized method to apply on most people, it's the same anywhere.
One of the things I love about my uni is that it’s very spacious meaning I have the chance to meet people everywhere. They especially have a nice contrast between having places to socialise and to study. For instance, in the town hall there are five floors, I admire how diverse the architecture is because there is something for everyone on each floor. If you like to socialise and meet more people like your self first floor is perfect but if you prefer to work by your self in a quiet place the 4th floor is most Suitable. However one thing my uni can work on is the organisation’s of the society’s . It’s very important that these organisations are thoroughly planned to increase the expectations of the students. Because by the end of the term the society’s are put into no use due to the fact that students are put off by the disorganisation. But this does not discredit the support the uni provides for the students struggling financially or mentally and they remind us consistently of that so we are aware.
Some of the lecturers are not good at teaching, which can make you dislike a module and not want to attend their lectures. The town house is the best aspect of Kingston University - it’s very modern and a really nice place to study or hang out with friends.
Being able to experience in my second year, Kingston was amazing first year and i wish I had taken up more opportunities they offered and been more involved. Facilities are amazing with a 5 story library! I am studying child nursing at the moment and it has been beautiful. I really do love how the lecturers have helped me settle in. Someone like me studying from anxiety I have found so many facilities at this uni that has helped me to cope with my anxiety and I would not have been able to do this without the uni support. . The university has been really good at keep students informed and offering support over the pandemic too. I really cannot fault the uni I only wished that on my campus there was more of a social life.
They support care experience young people. Have amazing bursaries. They are dedicated to their students. Have great work opportunities. The only drawback of this uni is that some of their buildings need to be a bit more modern but the equipment they have is great.
It’s a great place to study because it has a great environment and very student oriented. Loads of activity always taking place and there’s so much support when needed. There’s also loads of socialising spaces for students and study spaces aswell. The main campus is also very close to the city centre (like a 10 minute walk) which is very convenient. The university also provides a free campus transit bus between all 4 campuses and all accommodations which is so nice. Overall very good uni and I love studying here.


Best: recorded lectures so you can revisit them. Worst: feel there is a lack of cohesion, and equally a lack of organisation. Could improve on the guidance when writing assignments.
Some of the lectures in person could be done online, equally, some of the online ones would be better in person. Poor choice of when to do lectures online or in person.
Least:cleanliness
