The best part about my uni experience is meeting my course mates and engaging with the materials on the course. The worst aspect is trying to balance the work load as well as extra curricular activities.

First gen student
My main campus is an amazing place to take walk through or sit and chat and comes with lots of study space. However, the main student cafes are almost always packed, deterring me from going a lot of the time to socialise with others.
I love strand campus it’s the best, and kcl provides lots of opportunities for students. Nice place to study
Best aspects are the campus's and the location and the facilities available to students. Worst is probably the financial support available
I love the campus however, I wish the earliest starts would be 12 as I commute and it’s difficult to be on time at 10am starts due to the congestion and train issues.
Best = teaching and placement opportunities Worst = student support needs to improve and admin services
The lecturers have office hours in which you can visit them if you ever have any trouble with content (although I have never personally used them). However, it is reassuring to know that if I faced a problem, I would be able to get the help I need. It would be nice if the course department did more events that were more about simply socialising and getting to know other people in the department.
Guy's Campus is a really beautiful place and it is right in central London which means it's fun but at the same time has a good student community. The staff are all helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the admin team are not at all efficient, and the mock exams in January had a lot of technical and administrative difficulties. This is a huge drawback as we do not want to worry about admin when we are studying for medicine.
It is located in a very nice part of london.
Lots of extra curricular activities and support with mental health.
Best part is the facilities and teaching. Worst part is the strikes and the little compensation we are receiving for missing so much time, especially since my whole first year was online because of covid.
Admin staff are absolutely awful
Best: Very good standard of teaching and engagement. Worst: The university faces a lot of strike action.
I like the facilities offered, they are very modern and useful. But the student life is more complicated because of the size of the city it is difficult to make a community feeling, and because King's feels like an elitist university it can be very cliquey.

The best aspect of my Uni experience the fact that I have experienced lectures especially my personal tutor. All my lecturers have vast knowledge in their job role and they relate with student individually and not been judgmental. Being a single parent with dependent children, the worst aspect of Uni life is the fact that sometimes is very expensive financially to keep up with student life most especially transportation fare to college and placement couple with family life as a result of the high cost of living in London.
More Study Spaces and Cheaper Food
Getting to know lots of knew people as well as learning more about a subject I’ve been interested in for a long time from experts in different fields. Worst part may be the affects of strike action limiting part of my student experience of not only going into learn but also meeting people.
Best aspects are the sports and the cultural integration. Worst aspects is the striking.
The location of campuses really has a big impact on the whole experience. It is really lovely to have an opportunity to study surrounded by the greatest historical buildings of the capital and truly never gets boring. Lecture theatres are lovely, teachers are great and the whole atmosphere makes me want to aim for another degree once I'm finished with Bcs. However, it does come with a high cost. Even if you pack your own lunches, only travelling to university costs £8/ day and this year lectures take place at the campus at least 4 days/ week. Central London also comes with high cost of non neccessary 'luxuries' such as a daily coffee. Healthcare students don't really have an opportunity to earn money on the side as practice placements make us unreliable workers elsewhere due to our unpredictable workload and inconsistent hours in practice. I reckon financial straining is the biggest downside.
