Sort:Latest reviewsI feel like kings is a great place to study as it’s facilitates for all students needs in terms of the opportunities available and the range of social events available. Therefore, it allows for students to be able to fit into the university in a way that feels comfortable and suited to each individual. However, ways in which I believe it could be improved from my personal experience would be an increase in reassurance for students, like myself, struggling financially and suffering from anxiety from a lack of clarity when it comes to finance and booking accommodation, especially edging closer to second year.

First gen student
best - the campus is beautiful and all of my professors are extremely helpful
Buildings are a bit outdated but overall I’ve had a very pleasant experience.
it can be improved by making the socialising easier
The international community makes it great
The best thing is the location and facilities, it’s located central London it has many places to study and I love the architecture of the buildings especially bush house. The worst thing might be just my personal experience but living at home made it difficult to socialise with other students the same
More organised admission teams
great people and facility find exams hard too expensive to rent near uni
Best : There’s many places to study for example the library and the Shack which makes it ideal to go in university and have quite study session. Also there’s many events every week to socialise and make new friends. Worst : getting food and snacks cost a lot as it’s located in central London.
Best uni to have on your Cv but support is non existent
As a mature student with family and a business to manage I occasionally feel the course and university does not look to support persons in my current position as much as they could.
Covid times the constant strikes ruining good lessons
Kings College London is an excellent place to study because it has great facilities and support. I do find the workload and organisation can be very chaotic at times.

It’s got great teaches however the admin are disorganised and it is hard to hear back from them. The timetables also gets messed up almost weekly which is annoying but is still a great uni especially with the location that it is in
Best Meeting new friends Greats resources and access to books, journals and articles Interesting content and good course structure Worst Cost of living makes travelling more expensive Strikes can affect getting to university
Interactive lecturers, safe + clean facilities, lots of societies. Needs better student support, pastoral care.
I chose King’s because of its London location (just for logistics) and its Russell Group status, which gave me the impression that it would be a great university to attend. However I have not been impressed at all during my two years here. It is very unorganised with timetables not being available for my entire first year, constant rearranging of lesson times and locations and student support not up to par. Taking a demanding course within healthcare has I feel been made harder by a general lack of regard for how much many little things can affect students’ experiences. The lectures themselves are very nice people but constant changing off staff has limited my cohorts ability to form strong trusting connections with them and some have been very unsupportive with certain issues. The facilities are good but the ability to use these facilities is uncommon. I cannot really speak for student lifestyle and atmosphere because I do not engage with any clubs or social activities.
Central London location
The balance between academic and social life is perfect at KCL; there is a clear drive in all of the students, but the weekly socials are still so fun and people are extroverted too! The mental health and student support is brilliant too.
