Student review [#10730] for Arts and Sciences
at University College London - UCL

UCL was my first choice and I am extremely glad to be attending it. It’s very well located, making it easily accessible from all over London. I really love the fact that you have a proper campus feeling: sometimes I forget that it’s in London. In that sense, UCL makes an effort to create a comfortable and nice environment. In addition, there is much support for career advise: we have our own advisor in the department, which is incredibly helpful for finding internships in the summer or even just discovering what direction you want to go; but you can also get weekly e-mails for part-time jobs to earn some money on the side. I would probably prefer some smaller classes where participation is more emphasised; but this is mainly because my psychology classes can be attended by many different departments, making seminar classes impossible. But it would definitely be better to emphasise the student-professor relationship. We do have tutors that you can meet as often as you would like and that insist on meetings every term, though. Lastly I really enjoy that there are so many different societies, showing that although the academic is important, a balance between extracurricular activities and academia is even better.
