The university is amazing and has great facilities. Students and staff have a strong sense of belonging, the teaching is also quite amazing.

King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a founding constituent college of the federal University of London. King's was established in 1829 by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington, when it received its first royal charter (as a university college), and claims to be the fourth oldest university institution in England.[6][7][8] In 1836, King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.[9][10][11] In the late 20th century, King's grew through a series of mergers, including with Queen Elizabeth College and Chelsea College of Science and Technology (in 1985), the Institute of Psychiatry (in 1997), the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals and the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery (in 1998).

The campus facilities are big and very well situated with all the essentials for your everyday routine. The careers service is very helpful and insightful, and will help you with everything they can.

Great university, right in the the heart of central London. Great for students who want a city feel. The new bush house building also has great facilities.

King's is of the oldest university institutions in Britain. The estates consist of mostly Georgian and Victorian buildings (with the odd ugly duckling brutalist block thrown in), the academic standards are consistently high, and lecturers are often big names in their fields.

Great university! There's an abundance of staff, lecturers and academics to support you in very part of the way and very willing to help. My course content is pretty good, teaching is well organized. Only downfall is the building and facilities. Limited number of books, very little available computers or study space ( only on my saturated campus). All in all, great!

I really like the campus, buildings of King's. It has highly qualified faculty, who offers great support to students throughout their studies. Great place to be a part of.

A world class university with campuses located in the heart of the capital. Great facilities(libraries, pcs,gym) for students. Very well organized administration that helps students in everything throughout their journey.

Facilities of the university are brilliant, including careers service and course specific things (IOPPN for science based courses is a big deal). However, organisation from the university as a whole is lacking, and promises are often late.

Campus and facilities are great, but the lecturers are not interested in teaching beyond what they must do in order to continue their research. No support given to students either. But the people there are wonderful!

The academic side, courses, access to research and great professors is excellent and has always been excellent. However, not enough money gets back to the student body, and the course administration requires more investment. It is impossible to study exactly the modules you want to study and their a frequent mix ups between departments etc.

Good but sometimes not amazing. Could do with a little bit of tiny improvement here and there to be really white honest. The union is nice but not cheap especially on other days apart from Wednesday which is the sports night

The Comparative Literature BA course is amazing, our lecturers and seminar leaders are great and the uni itself is awesome! The only problem are the admin team who are really slow and quite unresponsive to us. They seem to over complicate things for no reason and get stuff mixed up, creating awkward situations. Great uni, just try to need the admin team as little as possible.

King’s is great for the most part. I’ve met a lot of people I would never have done in the past. The facilities and teaching are both first class, however, mental health support is shocking and needs an urgent overhaul.

.excellent teaching and academic research, however completely different feel compared to a campus university

King's is such a prestigious uni and being able to get a degree there would do wonders for your CV as it's a russell group university and a widely known one. The campus's are all great but hugely different e.g. Strand is the main campus and is very old fashioned looks-wise. Whereas Guys and Waterloo are a lot more modern and vibrant I feel. The Student Union was great, they were always open to talk and discuss issues that we were facing.

Student union very good, lots to offer across the 3 campuses. Money is issue being in London. Accommodation choice at Kings is very bad.

The campus is in the heart of London thereby inclusive of great access to stations and good food. The facilities not the best looking however, everything I need is on campus so its very handy. The careers service is great! I depend on it quite a lot.
