King's college london is in a great location and the courses they provide are well and accurately described on the prospectus and the website. The courses give a wide enough scope and are taught by some of the leading professors in their respective fields. The one aspect that could be improved is the social and communal spirit, as sometimes it feels quite lonely in the university life

Uni is great. The vibe and people are all wonderful as Some teachers are amazing others not as good, but that will be the same for any institution. Disappointed with the strike action, it’s effect on students was not compensated for which I think is bad of the university as we are the consumer.

I think every aspect of the uni is great. The lectures and lecture content is amazing, my course mates are fab, and the location is perfect. However, due to the strikes that took place this year, many students have felt very messed around, and not too many of us received valid support throughout and after the strike period

University is fine, nice campuses and facilities, a little bit disorganised, courses outlines could be a bit better, in general would recommend

It's a hellish horrible place. Especially social science faculties are a nest of racists. War studies are a nest of sexual predators. Discrimination is rife. Avoid if you are from an ethnic or religious minority and you don't to be discriminated and given lower grades or even failed and hated by racist lecturers.

Kings college is a terrific university, however their organisation was poor and did not consider students feedback over the course of the years. However, their nights out and range of societies are great, offering a chance to socialise and meet a range of different people from different backgrounds.

I love this university and the modules and courses are so interesting and in depth, but the administration is so disorganised - late essay feedback, changing deadlines, lecturers hard to contact, etc.

Campus is extremely big but its got a very friendly atmosphere once inside. Facilities such as gyms and libraries are also nearby which is always a good thing between lectures!

No real campus setting with only buildings, the facilities are fine. The course is somewhat disoragnized and the student bond isn't that great.

The institution reflects the high position in world rankings and well known name thanks to it's world class education and professors. The events offered to widen the knowledge exracurricolary are also relevant and frequent. The administration is the only part of the organization that would need improvement.

The only thing stopping me from giving 4 stars is how easy it is to feel left out of the university community if you don’t live in halls or life further away.

The teaching and staff to ration is great. The facilities are brilliant, studying dentistry we have access to state of the art facilities on site which makes it easy and convenient. The course is very intense and I don’t feel as if it’s always prepared well ahead.

The course of philosophy is great. Tutor gave helpful response in understanding the content and inspired us a lot to think upon the topic.

The main campus building is big, even as a third year it's easy to discover rooms or corridors you never knew about. However, this means that you can always find a desk to study, a computer space to use and a place to buy food. There are also lifts available going to every floor of the campus which makes it accessible for all.

KCL is a great school when it comes to rankings but the education itself isn’t really that challenging or engaging. It’s cool that you can do the original degree offered, the AKC, for free though. Definitely do it and don’t say you “don’t have time” — it’s an hour a week and you definitely do :) I think the content of that was almost More worthwhile than my degree.

The location is amazing and well served by local transport. The facilities are ok for arts and humanities. I wish that my course had more contact hours and that teachers were more readily available.

The university is a huge research centre and has great prestige, but often that means students lose out on the basics of daily life and learning.

Courses and modules are well organised. Lecturers always provide extra material and support when required.

I was based on the Strand and Bush House campus. The Strand campus is always so full and busy. I struggled to find study space for the Mathematics department in the first year. Since the Bush House opened, I was able to find more study spaces and computers to use. The Bush house is very clean and a great environment to study in. I am always able to find a seat even during exam season. Everyone ends up going to Maughan Library so Bush house is actually very quiet. The cafés on the ground floor and 8th floor makes it very convenient to grab food and carry on studying without having to leave.

I study IR and my course is amazing, I love it so much. I do urge anyone to take caution when coming to a London university. I come from a comprehensive school in the midlands and an extremely down to earth person. It can therefore be disheartening being surrounded by students who are by and large rich international students or privately educated British students. It has definitely made me feel as though I started uni on the back foot in this regard. Nonethessless if you put yourself out there you can meet some really lovely people and personally the few friends I have I would not trade for the world!

the old proverb ‘never judge a book by is cover’ really does apply to king’s college strand campus. Whilst the exterior resembles a prison the interior is beautiful! The facilties are great; there are many common rooms/silent rooms available for students which means its a great place for socialising as well as working when necessary. The careers service are always holding events in the great hall so they also provide plenty pf opportunities to network with a variety of programmes setting you up for your future.

Kings College London was an incredible experience and I would definitely go back if I could. The number of societies was immense and you could find a wide range of interests, there was a great range of sports and health and wellbeing classes too. Tutors are very helpful on Guys campus, the only let down was sometimes organisation across modules was not great.
