Sort:Latest reviewsStudying at a city university is incredible. You get a microcosmic view of what it would be like to work in a big city like London within your campus. Surrounded by so much business it is the perfect place to study a degree like law. Situated right at the heart of England’s legal, business and political centre. The commute can sometimes be a little tiresome but there isn’t many places better to do so than here

Better student life experience and events
Best - teaching Worst - admin team
What makes it such a great place to study is the location and accessibility of the uni facilities. Also, students are very active in promoting and voicing issues so it makes it easier for other students to be aware of current affairs
Excellent access to academic resources and a great variety of places to study. However, the standard of classroom equipment especially on the waterloo campus is not up to par as the other campuses with often broken/slanted tables that cannot be used and quite poor and overpriced food options in the canteen.
A nice central location and excellent professors and good support service
I wouldn't say that any of the benefits I've experienced while studying are directly connected of even influenced by the university itself. Being a student who started their degree on the year affected most by covid, the University experience was and is tainted in my opinion. My department and the university as a whole haven't particularly taken measures to truly integrate covid students. I haven't felt part of the university and being stationed at a "secondary" campus which isn't as included in most campus events certainly hasn't helped.
More variety of clubs

I think the best is the location, living in London is amazing and although it is still very expensive, it's much more affordable as a student than compared to London prices. I think this also has its downsides, there is no campus feel, no real connection between students. The societies at KCL are limited (mostly science based or nationality) and there aren't too many social events that bring people from different parts of the university together. For example, the departments host events but it's only for your course, I don't interact with anyone but those from my course or my flatmates. Even though they are in London, UCL seem to have more of a normal university experience in the sense that people know each other more and see each other around whereas at KCL you won't find anyone you know unless you look for them.

First gen student
The university's central location in London cannot be beaten and therefore provides a wide range of activities and locations to escape to whenever the workload gets too heavy. Teaching is provided by decorated lecturers who have undertaken research or further education in one way or another and therefore are able to provide insightful information. Student life could be improved but my experience was unique as I started my course during the peak of COVID-19 and therefore took a while to pick up.
Kings college, University of London, has many programmes available for students, both international and domestic students. They offer a range of opportunities for us to benefit from. For example, they have set up well-being services in case students feel pressured or going through a hard time, they can use this to progress in their emotional development and well being. The departments of all faculties are very caring and considerate, always putting students at priority. I enjoy studying at Kings College and I know I can rely on my tutors and colleagues around me. One thing that I believe can be improved is the communication between kings college and students. I have talked with few students who are agree that communication was below the average in comparison to other universities. This issue could be resolved by addressing that University should hire more staff in the email department, and ask students to only contact when absolutely needed. However, I know that Kings College is trying its best and moving forward we need to be considerate.
The location is great and the facilities are amazing
Best -> Good People Worst -> Studying
Transport nearby food places although would be better if there was more halal options but i’ve had to work more hours in order to keep up w cost of living so it’s been a very stressful year
location is amazing more efforts needed to help students make friends
best： learning material worst：assessment level too hard or too easy
some campus' are very hard to locate the classrooms and rooms, especially the Waterloo campus. its a great place to study because of the large amount of facilities it has.
It is very inclusive and allows all students to be comfortable and encourages them to express themselves!
4.1
Best is the course and community feel! Worst is the organisation of the exams.
Tutorials and workshops to actively use the knowledge. There is too much content at once to be able to properly absorb everything
Gym and great location! I really have nothing to complain about
