Sort:Latest reviewsKing’s strand campus is fantastic, so centrally located which makes coming to class more exciting. You definitely have to be more of a self-regulated and driven individual to balance living in London and it’s requirements (maybe having to get a job, high costs) with attending uni. Strikes have massively impacted our actual class time over the degree so far so it has been hard to pay the fees without feeling frustrated.
KCL is a great place to study because it has many campuses around London, it’s very multinational and cultural. It could, however, be improved on the basis of encouraging people to meet on campus with more activities for the whole year.
The location of the campuses is great as they are easy to access through multiple transport methods and place you in the heart of London allowing you to feel like you're living a good student life. We are also provided with great student areas to work in or meet up with friends or coursemates. Although a more relaxing area to work in would be nice in Guy's campus, as it currently only has the library which can be a difficult work environment on occasion.
There is always access to facilities and support if needed, staff are always helpful and supportive.
I love studying on campus because of all the spaces available. I think that the location of campus and our classes are great. Socially, I think there are not many opportunities, and I think that more facilities to learn, meet people and be active (ie. gym) should be available and more open (especially financially).
Isn't too much mental health support for students.

The atmosphere of London and at King's makes it a vibrant and beautiful university. I hope that the uni would increase personal tutor time.
What makes it such a great place to study? The faculty is comprised of renowned experts in their respective fields, who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and providing a world-class education. The learning environment is highly supportive and encourages students to think critically and creatively. How could it be improved? The introduction of more flexible scheduling options, to better accommodate the diverse needs of students. The implementation of a stronger career services program to help students transition into the workforce after graduation.
The impact of covid was the worst aspect of my university experience. Also many societies I have paid to join are so disorganized and also have yet to reach out to me. I wasted a lot of money being excited to take part in extra circular activities and I find people don't respond to emails. Also another bad aspect of university is that there are so many strikes happening I feel like half my education per term has been effected, especially this term with 18 days being on strike. Furthermore, as a result of university stress with my dissertation, master's degree and research internship applications, I am unable to work part time as regularly. This has impacted my ability to save and sustain myself throughout my university experience as I cannot rely on my parents for financial support. A good thing about university is that I like my course. But I'm hardly close with anyone in my course because of COVID-19 and university strikes disrupting everything so much.
Overall the teaching is pretty sub-standard considering this is supposed to be a top 5 law school, there’s no community feel whatsoever, and when you ask for support it’s not given.
Good location, 1 to 1 student support, very encouraging to put best effort towards study.
KCLSU is fundamentally incompetent making being a student leader much more burdensome than it should. Otherwise, professors and opportunities are great.
The support system is very strong
I have a good time getting involved in music societies, and the study spaces are very peaceful. The strikes have greatly disrupted my learning
I love how central the campuses are, it makes it very easy to travel to and from university. I love how friendly and approachable the fellow students and tutors are. It would be improved by improving the admin team.
Better support for students and more study spaces.
There is zero support for students mental health or financial wellbeing
Kings has been great with providing us passionate Professors, a wonderful location to study and plenty of amenities. Lack of support for international students is concerning and many societies are dead with no active members.

It’s a great place to study because the environment is so welcoming as everyone is always there to help you with anything and even if they are not able to they would always look for ways to do so. I also love how diverse it is. I just feel like everything is great there’s nothing to improve.
The best aspect of the course is that as you go you are very clear on what you are doing and it is a hard subject but having the passion of helping others in need changes it all. When I’m in lecture I do feel like there’s so much information given at once but the good thing is that you are always able to get that lecture as they upload it online which is so useful because you can always go back. Contacting with lectures is always the best as the are so supportive with what ever you need. I worst aspect I’d say is placement just because contacting with the ward is always so hard and sometimes they are not organised with all of that and makes us confused and be unorganised too.
