Sort:Latest reviewsThe lecturers here are good and really make themselves available for any questions. I live at Hampstead Halls and have found it a great place to be. The student union is great and very supportive.
I absolutely love it here at King's. The lecturers in most are good the speak really well and make the subject engaging. The class goes at a good pace. I live at Great Dover Street and it is really nice there all apart from the security who are incredibly rude.
I have found the course to be very engaging and the sylabus is particularly good. There is a very interesting reading list that makes the course more enjoyable. I live in Connaught Halls and it is a fine place to live.
King's is a great university but they really should look at their careers office. It's OK but you have to make appointments and they seem too vague and not that helpful.
King's is a good university. The organisation here needs help. There is a very good relationship between the students and lecturers here. I live in Connaught Halls which is student accommodation and it's fine. We are short of space here at King's but that is because we are in the middle of the city so only expected really. It would be good if King's assosiated themselves with more sport options.
This is a new course here at King's so there is very little to compare it with. This year has been very specific and has focused on certain countries. In the first year it was greater in general and covered most of Europe. I live at Hampstead accommodation and it's good there. I am part of the politics society. I wanted to volenteer for helping the elderly but had to go through UCL for this as King's had nothing.
The lecturers are very interested in the subjects they teach and they really get involved. The facilities are OK but I don't really use a lot of them. I have no real opinion of the clubs and societies here as I haven't found them too vocal.
I live in Intercollegiate Halls and I think it is OK considering they are student accommodation. I think the course and lecturers are great and the delivery is engaging. The student union are active and there if you need them.
The professors are really available and there to help the students. I have found the program too disorganised and lacking in depth. I live in student accommodation obver at the Rectory and it's wonderful there. Really indusive for studying.
Studying at King's is great - it is a nice place to come and study. London is great but always so cold. I live at Julian Markham House and it is horrible there are rats there - it's disgusting. The student union is impressiveand I have found them really active.
Studying at King's is great - I love it here. The facilities here are good and I have everything here that I need for my course but it would be good if they modernised them - everything here is a little too old. The student union is good and offer a good service.
It is a good university but we don't get enough contact hours here. We have two days a week off which is crazy for a degree. I live in Intercollegiate Halls and have found it to be a good experience. The facilities are good here at King's.
I really like the professors here at King's. They really know their subject and explain it to us very well. They have good communication skills. The seminars are great which lead to real good discussions and the teachers here are great at taking them. I feel good about my job prospects on graduation.
My lecturers are really interesting and 'on it' when it comes to subject matter and content. My accommodation is very central. The rooms are quite small but location is great. I love London but living in South London can lead to difficulties sometimes in terms of transport. I have a long commute. Facilities are great and the lifts are really fast. It's a shame that they closed Tutu's (nightclub) though but we do still have a good bar. I enjoyed being a member of the Rowing Club in first year but I found it too time consuming to continue with it in second year. The Careers Department is really good - there's always lots of information available. If you're thinking of applying then make sure you prepare well for the interview, knuckle down and work hard.
Overall uni is definitely great! In terms of courses and lecturers, there could be some improvements in the general organisation. I am currently living in International Halls, it's pretty decent, but the food on offer is awful and that's why we come to the local free food stalls for lunch. I absolutely love living in the city! It is expensive, but definitely worth the experience. The general uni facilities are pretty decent, but the clubs and societies are great and so is the students union. I am part of the Rowing and DJ society. They throw incredible socials, and have great access to all the equipment we need. They are also really well funded by the uni. Kings has got a very reputable name, and I am hoping that this will help me with my job prospects in the future. Overall I would advise other students not to let the cost of uni put you off applying for a London Uni, there's plenty of time to worry after! In regards to getting a place, be proactive and get involved in a lot of extra curricular activities that you can mention in your personal statement.
A great uni in a great city. The course is good but the lectures are sometimes really boring. Accommodation is great though- I would definitely recommend living in halls. Don't stay at home. I think LSE is better than King's though. Apply there and if you don't get in come here!
The commute is too long. You have to pay to use the gym and the student union is like an echo chamber. The clubs and societies are great but I don't have time for them now being in my final year. The student accommodation is second to none.
The course covers a wide range of aspects of politics. Facilities are good, lots of computer rooms for students, the bar is good. Clubs- I'm member of the King's Players and also intend to join the music society. There's a wide range of societies you can join. Tips- get good A levels!
KCL is a great institution with top class teaching. Facilities are amazing- especially the access to London libraries. It's really culturally integrated too. Tips: focus on your personal statement. I didn't have to interview.

King's is a great university. The course and lecturers are good and I am very much enjoying it. I am in Intercollegiate Halls a lot of things there are broken - it's just a little too run down.
