Imperial is a good reputation in academics. It is a heavily STEM-focused university, providing a superb education for students. Although students have numerous opportunities to learn and grow, the workload can be overwhelming at times, particularly during the exam period. It can be a very stressful environment for some students so they frequently seek mental health support. Imperial College consistently promotes mental health awareness throughout the whole academic year. The student service is good overall and because it is in South Kensington, students are free to explore central London. There is also a wide range of societies for them to build long-lasting friendships. As compared to other Russell group universities, Imperial provides greater career development opportunities however the student satisfaction rate is generally lower.
