Amazing! The lecturers, structure, system and support. Don't let the demographics put you off (speaking from a black minority perspective). Love the countless society and the effort from students to involve new comers to the college community.
KCL is a very enjoyable place to study. It is located in the heart of London and feeds off the city’s excitement and culture to make one of the most exciting and unique experiences in the world. I have no regrets studying here!
The seminars here are very good and always promote debating. Where I have only found the lecturers here just ok. I live at Moonraker Point student accommodation. It is good but everything breaks and the alarm system is constantly going on.
I have found the lecturers very accessable and are open to questioning. They are there to help with our disertations. Living in London is great but a little too expensive. My job prospects should be great when I graduate and I'm looking forward to it.
I love studying here at King's it's a good university with plenty to do. The facilities are great and the student union are there for whenever you need them. Also the Waterfront bar is a lovely plave to drink. The English department building is a beautiful place to study.
I have been impressed with the teaching standards at King's the tutors are really engaging and deliver in a great way. I live in International Halls - it's OK just not for me. I am in the liberal arts society and film society - there are plenty to chose from. I am not involves wiith the student union.
The course itself is really interesting and the reading list we have been given is very engaging. We have ULU which pushes the facilities scoring up. I haven't had any real interest in the clubs and societies here.
The tutors and lecturers are very detailed here at King's and go deep in to stuff. I live at Moonraker point which is student accommodation it is ok but is too noisy - but I suppose that is only to be expected. The student union is very active.
The first year on the course concentrates on physical and human geography and there isn't a distinction between the two. I live over at Moonraker Point and the rent there is astronomical - and it's going up from £220 a week to £265 which is crazy. The student union isn't for me.
King's has a good reputation and I have found the course and lecturers to be quite engaging and readily available. I am part of the film club which has been fun. The student union really care and are there if you need them.
Some of the modules here are fantastic along with the reading material and the lecturers. The library is stocked with pretty generic books and needs to diverse a lot. The Waterfront bar is great with cheap drinks and a nice view. I will use my degree and get a job teaching English in Luxembourg - my chances are very high from King's.
I really like the way that King's teach. I live at Intercollegiate and it's really good there apart from the food is bad they really can't cook there but the room itself is nice. I am part of the geography society. I have always found the student union to be very helpful.
The tutors and lecturers here at King's are very enthusiastic for teaching and the subject which really promotes learning. It shows that they are all very experienced in their respected fields. I live in Great Dover Street and it isn't that good. The bathroom is en-suite but is poor - the floors are slanted but the shower is OK. The drinks could be cheaper in the student union.
The course is very comprehensive. We cover a lot from the classics all the way through to modern. There is a wide variety which keeps the course fresh. The lecturers are great they are clear and smart and are extremely approachable.
There is a really varied choice in what to do here at King's. The tutors are good at following up on what has been learnt. I live in Brian Creamer student accommodation and it's lovely but it isn't right that the site is leased by Lambeth Palace. London is great but expensive. The library sucks as there are never the books you need. The student union is good but the drinks are cheap enough.
The lecturers here are very engaging. They are easy to talk to and have very good communication skills. I live in Brian Creamer House and I love it there - as far as student accommodation goes it's great.
Overall King's is a great university. The course and lecturers are good but some of them do have a tendancy to waffle on. London is great but is too expensive. I am hoping my job prospects are good and King's have a good reputation.
The course and lecturers really do vary greatly some are average but some are amazing. It is a really hard topic and delivered in an engaging way but sometimes the tutors are guilty of just reading off the Power Point presentations. But I chose King's over Oxford as I love it here.
The course is good and I find the lecturers to be engaging and very informative. It would be good if we had more chance for communicating with them out of class. King's really should extend the opening hours of the library we need access to it 24/7.


The university is a great one for people who like social life and want to be in central london and can stand the hustle bustle of the big city. I would say it is a great place to make friends. good in world ranking too
