I am loving my degree at King’s College London. My favourite aspect has been small classes, meaning that we can ask questions even during lectures. There are many language resources offered to us too, which means I get to study grammar and learn how to analyse infographics, answer questions, write poems and study literature.

I am just entering my third year and there’s 2 major things that have stuck out to me. First is that if you’re looking at the classic student experience of sociability and nightlife then a uni in London probably isn’t for you. This pretty much comes down to the price of everything including rent for even first year student halls (275 per week and this was 2 years ago now).

That being said, the uni is of good quality and the libraries and facilities are plentiful with good quality teaching, academic support. However, I am looking forward to getting it done and moving on.

Great city, loads of great modules to take. Pretty supportive. Only downside how expensive it is to live in London but sometimes the uni will be able to help you with that. They also have summer abroad options which is great.

The social life is not the greatest. I was demotivated to attend lectures once I realised how useless they can be especially when nobody has done any preliminary work. Too many times I have spoken to other students during seminars only for them to give me a blank face. The professors try their best but are not taken seriously in my opinion. The marking is good but you can follow every single guideline in the syllabus yet not get near a First. Overall, I can’t wait to get the degree over and done with pronto.

The university is very helpful in providing students with support when going through tough personal issues. They help provide support if needed and give extensions for assignments. I have gone through times when it’s been difficult for me to meet deadlines but the university has been very helpful.

I would recommend Kings to other students as the lecturers always encourage students to ask for help and guidance. Lecturers constantly ask students to attend their office hours for support when it comes to exams and assignments. Before completing my exams in my first year of study the lecturers offered a lot of guidance and exam revision in order to make sure that us as students were well prepared for our exams.

Personally I found KCL to be extremely diverse. Compared to other universities in the UK, KCL seems to be the most diverse in terms of nationality and also ages for starting undergraduate courses. This led to a great feeling of fitting in as there is always someone you will find in your lectures that has something in common with you and made me feel so welcome!

I would definitely recommend this college as it has shaped me into a person that I am today. With the most exceptional professors, services and environment kings college London is ranked as one of the top 10 universities in London with cutting-edge research and for being known for its academic excellence.

I think KCL was very good overall. I enjoyed most of the teaching, though some of the lectures were a bit antiquated and some of the seminar leaders were less interested in the subject material than others. My favourite module was a shared module with two other faculties which was a bit hectic at times, but the ability to pick this meant you could meet people from other yet similar disciplines. The main positives would be the location and social opportunities, being in central London there were lots of culturally and recreationally interesting things to do and it was easy to meet with friends. The admin system was quite poor, but I think this is a common theme across all university’s. I would have liked there to be more societies or social integration into the main university. Though, overall a very positive experience.
