Sort:Latest reviewsThe best aspect of my experience was my personal tutors support when I was going through a hard time, he made sure that I could keep in contact and has really helped me plan my studies around my personal circumstances. The worst aspect would probably be adjusting to the style of teaching. I find that there is very little help to transition you from A level style writing and content towards university level studies. I found this particularly challenging when writing essays. This could be improved by better feedback and more content based on how to actually write a university essay - stuff like templates and planning essay’s together in class could help improve this.
Because of my course, I am based in Guy's Campus at London Bridge. My experience with the King's community has been incredible. The Student Union has provided many exciting events to meet and hang out with friends (especially during freshers/re-freshers and the end of exam weeks)! I have been allocated a personal tutor who, in the past year, has always been available to meet and discuss any issues I face, both personal and academic. However, the counselling service that King's provides could be greatly improved as I've had most of my appointments either cancelled or postponed, which can be frustrating. The campus provides great facilities in terms of its study areas, labs and simulated wards, however, as the university is quite old, a lot of the buildings require a bit of TLC. Overall, my experience at King's has been incredible and I couldn't have chosen a better university based so centrally in London.
Best aspects: Location of the uni Worst: Campus facilities
Best - lots of resources for the academic life, active student unions and social events Worst - degree is super hard to study, feels like I barely have time for other things
There should be a better way to take care of students suffering from mental illnesses
Good facilities, but lack of individual focus
Location is great, many nice food places nearby and nice views to explore. Campus is amazing, as it has many study areas, which I love as I always need a change of scenery when studying.
Meeting diverse group of people and having to go out of comfort zone to communicate is the best aspect. Worst aspect is feeling of not fitting in and feeling lost because everyone seems to know what they are doing .
best: philosophy department worst: lack of community feel
The lecturers are amazing! But strikes have kept us out of class for weeks on end
Great location, great facilities and a really good feeling to the university. There’s not enough study spaces for the amount of students I think is the only negative thing with facilities.
Best - very good reputation Worst - admin
student support is quite slow, particularly quite a lot of admin issues. could use more financial support as well as options are very limited for international students. otherwise the environment is quite healthy and i do feel cared for as a student and believe that i will get value for my degree in the future
Great opportunities Support towards applying for opportunities.
- facilities are great - teaching is of a high level - i have found it rather difficult to integrate myself within the kings community
Increase staff pay so there are less strikes. improve the older parts of the campus, e.g. Chesham Building. Also, more study spaces!
its got great facilities but more needs to be done to diversify the staff to reflect its students
18-24 years
The facilities are very well accessible and numerous
Best aspect is definitely the location. King’s is directly in the centre of London, so you’re always surrounded with art and culture. Worst is the lack of funding for students, especially those in the arts and humanities. King’s is a well endowed institution, so it’s surprising to see how little they invest in their students.
