KCL has great staff and professors and a very diverse student body. I really enjoy my course and the people I met thanks to it. However, the administration neglects vulnerable students and the needs and demands of staff.
Feeling lonely but also being surrounded by people all the time
The diversity of Kings is the best
Great
Beautiful campus and staff are really friendly! Break gaps are too long
I think some facilities are a bit outdated, and I am aware of how poor student satisfaction generally is. The campus itself looks wonderful and there are lots of different unions and things for students to partake.
Best: very well scheduled, lots of places to eat, very good location, has 24/7 library, gym Worst: very small campus, very expensive food, very busy
The student union have been excellent in helping me settle in to my first year at uni, providing advice on money budgeting, coping with stress and providing countless events to get to know the rest of my cohort.
Covid ruined the uni experience for the first two years which made it hard to adjust into normal uni life during my final year. it was harder to engage in lectures and seminars and classes and generally in making new friends. But the uni campuses are at amazing locations and all the buildings are so pretty
It’s in a very central location with lots of stuff around to do
Student Union makes university bearable with all the societies and ease to run events , the actual Kings uni doesn’t . It’s hard to get any financial support, academic support and they mainly prioritise rich students who pay international fears . You can even see the disproportionate attention each campus gets with Guys campus for medicine receiving the least funding
The best aspects is that the course is mostly well taught and the campus is accessible and provides a great environment for students.
The teaching is great and so are the facilities but admin is horrible and god forbid you have an issue
Positives: Prestigious university Central London Start placement early Highly research motivated Negatives: The actual teaching is not as high as expected The organisational administration is incredibly poor
Have alot of support available and the student life is great overall. However, in terms of assessment and management in the department of my course, I believe there should be some improvements as I am not the only one finding the course mentally draining sometimes.
Facilities and location are amazing, also the reputation of the university. When I’m on placement in hospital, nurses make it very clear that a nursing degree from King’s is very well respected.
It's one of the best universities in London, It would be great if all the campuses were in one place but that also provides students with a nice chance to get to know London a bit more closely.
Best: - campus buildings - flexible learning options (recorded lectures) - bursary schemes
4.1
disability support is awful
great passionate lecturers
really strict security room allocation is an absolute mess
