strand campus is really pretty and i love the libraries :)
I really enjoy studying and learning.
The best things about studying at King’s include the very specialised medical school and facilities they have which are unique to this university. The opportunity to undergo cadaveric dissections has provided a great insight into the surgical field and has allowed me to greatly improve my competence with these skills. The student life at king’s is also very welcoming and greatly diverse which has helped me feel comfortable. The disadvantages of King’s is the location; being in located in a Central area the cost of living proves to be quite a struggle and I often have to worry about spending to the point where it hinders my ability to study stress free and focus on my course. It has become increasingly challenging to stay focussed and reduce stress in these times since starting university.
Sometimes as a medical student it’s hard to get a work life balance
Lecturers do not care about students. Very little support, poor teaching, exhaustive workload, average grade for a module was below 30% in year 2 and the lecturers blamed students for not studying enough. Location is great, sports is huge, mental health supports needs to be better
Worst part everything is far apart from campus to campus
it’s nice
London is an amazing city to be studying in as there’s just so many people from all over the world. The only bad thing is how expensive it is.

Fantastic reputation and prestige but communication could be better
It's a great place to study with all the facilities available across multiple campus with excellent WiFi. Overall the teaching has also been great. One thing I will say which is quite bad is the fact that during the computer exams there were wifi related issues for some people and the best the university could do for them was a re-test which isn't very fair in my opinion
The location between the campuses is a good distance. The facilities particularly for research seems to be well funded. However, I do feel as though student support is limited and not expressed enough to students if it is available. I have seen the university make greater attempts to be more inclusive and accessible to all students which is really nice to see.
They could improve it by providing some free social event tickets.

The location of all campuses is great, with lots to do nearby, yet also proving more than enough to do on campus! There are affordable food options, so many union-run initiatives to take part in and an incredible level of support for students. Facilities go above and beyond at King's!
I think there should be enough support for students living away from home. More bursaries available and more resources for students to access if they’re in need of help.
Staff sometimes are not the greatest, communicating etc

Invest more into sporting facilities. It is hard for sports clubs to have long term success as other unis have better funding and facilities to allow better standards

The best aspect is where the university is located, because it is right in the centre of London and I can go and do lots of different things and see lots of exhibits without having to travel. My student accommodation is also in a very good location. However, due to the strikes I have been struggling to understand all of my work
Within all of my modules I have a blend of online and in person lectures, I think that this gives me a very well rounded and more in depth look into different topics. I also think that my modules this year have been very interesting because they have lots of different time areas and locations, which has been different to my previous experiences of only learning European history.
I think that my accommodation is in the perfect location. It is only 10 minute walk from campus and for it being one of the cheaper locations for accommodation is very worth the money. I have never had any bad experiences with the appliances, and it is good that we get bills included. The staff have also been very friendly and have always helped if I have had a question. The parcel system is also very efficient.
