King's College London Speciality : Philosophy
programme: Philosophy and Religion

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.
