UCL is perfect for independent students who want to experience London life. The student community is incredibly diverse, and student-run societies and initiatives form lovely student communities.

However, the setup and administration of the University itself provide little support or welcome to students. Help is available for students who know how to go through the right channels – however navigating the university’s administrative system for any query or problem can be a nightmare. Lack of support can make the student experience isolating and lonely.

It is a very good university and allows us to excel in many areas. The timings are good, exams are a bit stressful but support was given during covid times and to help us prepare. The only downside is socially wise there isn’t much unity so I’d advise joining societies and such to find a community

I think UCL is a great university. It’s located in a fantastic area of London, and the campus itself is brimming with history and culture. I love how dynamic the environment is and especially the vast array of clubs and societies that the university has to offer. Personally, it’s been a bit hard to fit in – but I know this isn’t everyone’s experience. Plus, UCL has a lot of support networks in place, so I’ve never really felt like an outsider, even though my friend circle wasn’t huge. I’ve enjoyed my classes a lot thus far, although this year, the module selection was a bit restrictive, in my opinion.

Nearly all aspects of UCL are outstanding, and those who are merely attending classes here without employment or other commitments can benefit greatly from all of the facilities and societies already in place. To better handle the number of students, some services, like the student assistance centre, may need more staff. The facilities at UCL are fantastic, and I have loved my time there. They have plenty of sizable libraries where you can get resources and study in peace. You can join a variety of societies and clubs.

UCL, based in the centre of the internationally diverse city of London, engages a study methodology which embraces interdisciplinary reflections prompted by a great variety of scales and perspectives. The high-ranked faculty is decidedly supportive in helping the student to create a passionate atmosphere from which squeeze their maximum potential and interests. One of the elements that I was more surprised by and eventually enjoy the most is the level of debate and discussions in the classes, which forces the student to be more thoughtful and tolerant. Without a doubt, the opportunity to study at UCL has become a trampoline from which desirably explore my research passions.

I feel that the teachers are very good, and the relevant suggestions provided can help us to carry out further research. The school’s library system is also very useful, but I feel that the books are not particularly complete. I hope there will be more books on social sciences. There are very few scholarships for international students in social sciences, and I hope they can expand more. There are some single dishes in the school cafeteria. It is hoped that some activities to visit other colleges can be carried out, or the relevant timetables of other majors can be placed on the school bulletin board for everyone to audit. Many school activities are not pushed on related apps, and the school forum is not very active.

I currently study Politics and Sociology at UCL. Best points: the professors are always ready to help (and the quality of their teaching is excellent), the students are very engaged which makes the whole studying process a lot more interesting (especially during tutorials) and there’s a range of facilities we can access. Points for improvement: there’s the need for more sociology modules and more contact hours.

My time so far at UCL has been great despite the strikes and the Coronavirus outbreak. Teachers are dedicated, resources and libraries are great. All material studied has been comprehensive and at an appropriate level.

The best part about it is that it’s in a great area – Bloomsbury/Fitzrovia/Tottenham court road. However, the teaching doesn’t meet the reputation of the university and could in some cases be much better.

UCL is a very interdisciplinary university with courses that would fit anyone’s interests. There is care given by the lecturers regarding the method of teaching and students’ understanding of the content. However, UCL has recently been plagued by strikes which affect studies and complaints because of the lack of communication between staff and the provost regarding the dire pension policies.
