Sort:Latest reviewsAt Kingston the lecturers really do care about each and everyone of their students. This has helped me learn and find an interest in the courses.
More support for students from lecturers. Mitigating circumstances needs to be improved instead of things being dismissed as poor mental health.
Worst is the travel into and back from uni. Everything else is great.
Safe place to be and allows all students to feel at home. Could have more green areas for students to sit .
I love the facilities, I think we're incredibly lucky to have them. The town is very picturesque and definitely a lot more fun in summer. It's not too far from london so you have the option to go out there too. The course can be good depending on what tutors you have for the year. I think there is still a lot of issues with racism at the uni, which you could expect I suppose as this is one of the poshest parts of london. But majority of the students and staff are lovely and there can be a great community feeling if you find your peoples :)

The best aspects are the facilities, the environment of the campus and the location. The things that could be improved are the support with finding careers, personally I would not know who to go to or where to go to get help and this is something I am struggling with at the moment.
I like the location of my campus is based and parking makes it convenient for me to make my journey to university. The worst part is that the Student Union didn't do as much as I expected.
Kingston University provides high standard workshops and facilities with great technicians who are always happy to help. Student accommodations are in great locations, but they should be improved.

It is an overall beautiful university with incredible mental health and student support. There are many different societies to join with weekly and sometimes daily things to take part in. I have had difficulties with my personal tutor not making time to meet with students and answering emails but others have had many good things to say about thier own personal tutor. My accommodation is currently a construction site which is a bit frustrating as there are a lot of disturbances but overall I do not regret joining Kingston University at all. My course is well run at times and sometimes is a complete mess but that's to be expected considering the times we are living in.

I have found the staff and teachers the highlight so far. There is a lot of support in place so that you never feel alone. They are so understanding and supportive which was much appreciated when I was dealing with a family bereavement. Its really nice to feel understood and not alone in my journey.

This course is quite dynamic and the experience throughout the year varies depending on how many in class assessments you have and when the assessments fall throughout the year. The course averages a higher number of on campus teaching hours than most others and there is also quite a bit of extra work that needs to be done also. That being said, the staff do try to support you whenever possible and if you are interested and happy to take on the workload this course can be rewarding and enjoyable. The universities largest society is the Kingston Uni Pharmacy Society (KUPSA) so there are plenty of other students to help you along the way, make friends and memories with!
The scenery in Kingston in very beautiful especially on a sunny day. As for the Town House, it has been voted award-winning architecture I believe, which means that it has been built efficiently. Uni could be improved by having more affordable printing facilities.
The courses at ksa are quite interdisciplinary, despite what you're studying - all workshops are open to use. The technicians are very helpful! It's sometimes tricky to get bookings towards the end of the term as there are so many people using the workshops so perhaps they could be expanded to accommodate more people.
Really good library with a cupboard of extra stationery The library gets really crowded, the silent areas are not managed and it get really noisy. Quiet areas should be closed off and noise controlled

The library looks beautiful and is a great place to study, have group meetings and socialise with others. The university societies feel small however could use some more support to get bigger.
The library and accessibility to facilities is great. I wish there were more events to bring students together.
A great location with great people and amazing facilities, sometimes the lectures can be a bit of a pain but that's pretty standard.

Good support for students who require it, excellent access to mental health resources, on site GP which is beneficial, only down side would be general cost of living.
Has mostly been online which is excellent for me however I know many others haven’t been happy with the online teaching.
