King's College London

I absolutely love King's as a uni, but there are definitely things that must change. The lack of diversity amongst faculty is appalling, and KCL's continued support of and contributions to oppressive regimes and the arms trade is ethically disheartening. The student experience though imo is amazing, I love our campuses centrality and KCLSU is super supportive!

The new business school campus is amazig and main building is located centrally, close to covent garden and different entertainment spots. A lot of events organised by sociaties ans student union, from fun ones to professional workshops. Business school has some very advanced teachers and variety of classes is pretty wide so you can customise your degree. A cool new student bar at new campus as well as several kitchens and even vegan cafe is present at kings. Overall very fun experience at this university

King's college London is a very good university, well located with good and modern facilities, teachers are great, careful to student's well being and attentionate. I wish I could stay longer than three years.

Personally, my course (Comparative literature) doesn't have an exceptional service of help, it lacks in good communication between lecturers and the students, the department itself isn't very helpful in certain areas as many of my fellow students feel the same-they just don't do enough. The facilities are average, there aren't many quiet study places for one to go (the library and other rooms on campus are usually packed). I love my course and the modules I have done so far have made me more aware of the world around me (in terms of cultural experience), which is probably the best thing I've gained from my time at KCL. The Strand campus is okay however the King's building alone isn't the only place a KCL student would have lectures/seminars at, there's also the building at Drury Lane, the Virginia Woolf building, Bush House, etc. For a fresher, this is probably daunting as the campus seems to be all over the place, it is highly inconvenient especially if you have 2 classes back to back in separate locations. All in all, KCL isn't a horrible university but it definitely isn't up to the high standards that I expected it to be.

King's facilities are up to date, always providing us with modern technology. The campus are welcoming and friendly. At times I feel like there is a lack of organisation in my course. Getting last minute changes or sometimes not even being notified of updates. Besides the lack of organisation at times, I feel like king's suports its' student quite well. I always feel like there is someone looking after my well being i.e. personal tutor, link lecturers, cohort leaders. At king's I can also find people from all different backgrounds and different life experiences, those people are the friends that change my perspective on life situations. I feel like king's welcomes everyone from all different backgrounds and that it always has a place for everyone.

King's is very dedicated to assuring that students extract the most of their university experience. The facilities are great and the staff is friendly and useful. There is a lot effort made to make everyone feel included and part of the community.

Many people are very quick to complain about King's but, personally, I have been very happy here. In my first year, I stayed at Great Dover Street appartments which was... interesting. The room was like Harry Potters cupboard but green. The ensuite was... unique. You could sit on the toilet, wash your hands and have a shower all at the very same time. It was expensive but that's London. Everything is expensive - Food, drinks, nights out. You get used to it. King's have been really supportive and I love my degree - Dietetics.

The campuses are well maintained and well equipped although could potentially do with more computer rooms. The student bars are much too expensive with regards to food. The course is interesting but some modules are poorly explained. The student union seem disorganised but KCL radio is very well run.

King's College really is a world class school. Not only is it home to people from the most diverse cultures and ages and backgrounds it has so many variety in the experiences that can be gained whilst at your time there. The staff of my course department have been extremely helpful and understanding. The tutors are also usually very easy going and create a great learning atmosphere.

The campus is beautiful and in the heart of london. It is close to all the important places in london and transportation to eat is easy with all types of transportation. All student services are located within the building and the library is a 5 min walk. The library is huge and you can find all the books you need for any major

Very good facilities and well placed. Lack of information before the course starts. Level of lectures is higher than expected and very useful. Les work at home than expected but more useful.

The campus is too far from any halls of residence which means that you often get stuck in London traffic if travelling by bus!

Campus' are amazing, very central, and very close to each other. Some of the buildings/lecture theatres are outdated and could do with modernising. My course is very broad, but you can specialise if you like which is great.

The university is good itself. I enjoy the teaching, our lecturers are extremely professional. The buildings are nice and modern, all facilities are present there. However, I am quite disappointed by the fact that more and more students miss their offers and still get in. This results in a presence of some people who are not genuinely interested in what they study. Also, I don't like smelling urine every time I enter the King's building, the area near the entrance has become a public toilet for the homeless. This issue should be tackled

Enjoy the various student union spaces, especially the new editions at Bush house. However, I feel that Guy's campus requires a formal social room (excluding the Shed)

The best part about Kings College London are the people you meet. Theres a large amount of people that are open minded and willing to make friends. London in general is a great city with many opportunities. KCL society's provide you with acces to even better events no matter your interest.

King's is a great university for teaching and sports, having four different campuses and a myriad of amazing professors, along with sports societies for any sport you could think of, some even having two societies. However, the organisation in general leaves something to be desired. It takes a while for tutors and professors to get back to you, or for you to receive results after tests and coursework.

Campus is lovely, in the centre of London. I am really enjoying my course - Nutrition in Dietetics. Student union has vast number of societies to join, something for everyone. Career services have been absolutely brilliant- career fairs and one-on-one advice has been very helpful so far.

The campuses are well looked after with decent SUs in each. The faculties are very helpful. All lecturers put in their 100%, giving their students the best possible universith experience.
