University College London - UCL (reviews)

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.

This university is a leading global university for a reason: it pushes you to strive for your best, offers great support and helps to prepare you for life after university as well with its great career and internship opportunities. It also offers wellbeing services to support students with a range of matters, be it university-related or unrelated. The study facilities are beneficial, however due to the large scale of students it is often difficult to find a space, particularly during exam season.

UCL is an amazing place in the sense that the staff and students are all so friendly and genuinely want to help you and make sure you’re settled down well. Particularly, in my course, the teachers are really passionate about their studies and you can tell that they really want to guide your understanding by prompting questions to further spark your interests. However, one thing I dislike is the inflexibility of the admin aspects of the course. Being new to the university and asked to choose modules for the entire year will inevitably lead you to make some wrong decisions. After realising that some modules are simply not right for me, I am not allowed to make any changes to it. Hopefully some adjustments can be made in the future to make the course, and the uni, more suitable and enjoyable for every individual.

The “work hard play hard” culture at UCL is what makes the university experience one of a kind. Having a campus in the heart of London opens diverse doors to both academic and social opportunities. With exceptional support from academic staff, there is also a balance between rigor and support at UCL.

University college London stands out as one of the most disciplined institute in the United kingdom. The lecturers in this university are top notch and provide the best level of education you can find anywhere.
Getting admitted into this university was a dream come true and so far I’m really enjoying my stay here and i can boldly say it’s one of the best colleges in the united kingdom.

UCL is not just a school for academics but also it’s highly a disciplinary centre. Discipline is a top tier and that what helps me,us the students both in our academics,social life and even character_wise.It moulds one into becoming a better,mature person who can make wise and respective decision in life. I consider UCL as my second home for many reasons I may not mention as per now. Being part of this lovely community and student is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

There are a lot of activities and opportunities for students, but I think the school has accepted too many students. So it is more commercial rather than academic. Though, all the videos for studying and hanging out is good.

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
