The facilities that are present within the campus have never disappointed me or any one of my classmates. I've never heard anyone complain about this.
good for research but community isn't great
I wish the SU could help more but they don't always seems to care. Admin is also super slow!

Love here nice manager neelam and paul
me anything I am particularly interested in. The careers service has been good over all, but I feel like they should give more opportunities and attention to first year students. The WiFi connection is dreadful, especially in the lower levels of the university, though.
Without wifi issues, I really enjoy the life in my university.
My experience has been wonderful, I have supportive lecturers and an incredible range of resources to use for nursing clinical sessions
Kings is fun - but there could be more done to improve non drinking + not religious related social life
Good university, I genuinely have no complaints about it! If only the lecture hall had more comfy seating and tables to work on
Pedro and Diego are wonderful! they are so helpful and always happy faces to see
It’s been a great experiment going to college in London
good uni accom and clean facilities
Very nice and very cool and good education
I've enjoyed my time at KCL, whilst it can sometimes struggle with technology and administration, the staff are kind and supportive and there is a lot of freedom for students when it comes to societies
Really international university.
It's a rather nice university, teachers and students here are kind and welcome, though campuses may locate very differently. Not recommending the canteen in denmark campus
Really supportive academic and administrative staff in my department.
Great career support, interesting courses, diverse students
Noise Levels: The walls and floors are thin, making it difficult to study or relax without being disturbed by noise from neighboring units. This is a significant drawback, especially during exam periods. 5. Customer Service: The staff at the front desk can be unhelpful at times. They don’t always provide the support or assistance that residents need, which can make living here more stressful than it should be. Location: While the location is somewhat convenient, the high rent doesn’t reflect the proximity to campus or local amenities. There are other residences closer to the university that are more affordable. In conclusion, I believe that [Student Residence Name] is overpriced for what it offers. As a student, I need a place that is not only affordable but also provides a comfortable living environment conducive to studying. Unfortunately, this residence has fallen short in several areas. I would recommend prospective residents to consider other options before committing to a le
KCL is a great place to learn about politics but I am sure about any other subject. The community is really supportive and diverse, it is always something to do together. Studies are intense but this is how it should be!
Internet sometimes doesn’t work in some classrooms. The restaurant in Waterloo closes too early.
very good societies and career services
KCL offers well-equipped libraries and labs, particularly useful for General Engineering studies which I am doing. Some buildings, especially at Strand Campus, are historic and charming but can feel cramped. Study spaces are generally good, but they get crowded during peak times. The university has a wide range of clubs and societies, with something for everyone. Wi-Fi is reliable across campuses, though there can be slowdowns in older buildings and underground. The central London location is a major benefit, offering access to cultural spots, nightlife, and networking opportunities, though it’s a busy and expensive city. The Strand and Waterloo campuses are centrally located, but space can be tight. King’s CareerConnect is excellent for career-building, offering workshops, career fairs, and connections to major industries. Being in London also opens doors to internships and graduate roles in engineering.The student union organises great events and provides support for student issues
Feel gratitude to study at king’s.
The teaching quality has been very good in my experience, lots of module choices taught by experts in their field. Many libraries across London so lots of options in spaces to study. In my experience the societies make the most out of being in London and put on exciting events.
So far I have loved King’s! I love the buzz of it, I love that although it’s a city uni it feels homey and comforting. Strand campus is a great spot in the hub of cute cafes and loads of cultures :) I have loved it!
Top university great courses and activities
Pretty decent so far, would recommend
Admin can be really bad but good teaching
Sometimes the wifi doesn't go well when study in classroom in underground floors
Just like any university, its what you make of it. With over a 100 societies and opportunity to make one if you would like, you have the chance to get involved with anything. Explore opportunities, meet other people, network, learn and develop those much needed skills. KCL has renowned alumni- one being Momin Saqib, served as President of KCLSU, an educationalist, actor and entrepreneur. Lots of spaces for study in the library and on any of the 5 campuses in London (very convenient)
Beautiful campus with lots of study spaces within and around campus. I also love the sports facilities. The mix of international students is also great so many activities to get integrated.
I love KCL and I love mathematics! Please give me a PhD
Best Uni ever. Campus is so beautiful, especially strand campus which is right in the middle of London. There are tons of spaces to study or chill with your friends, and the nearby Maugham library is gorgeous too. The career service is amazing with lots of events and opportunities to increase your employability. The clubs and societies I have been to are all high quality. King’s is the best
The campuses, such as Strand, are striking and notable. However not much emphasis is put on giving first year's career guidance.
So far everything been good. many societies and staff are polite, lecturers are helpful.
good central location of campus, society’s are generally very friendly and accessible be everyone
Overall studying at kcl has been really fun and exciting as it is a super diverse community with lots of opportunities available for students
The university have very welcoming and supportive staff, they will make it clear to come to them should you need any help or have any questions of the course/lectures.
The classroom is overcrowded with too few seats, making it often cramped and the experience quite average. Some teachers read from scripts during their lectures, which is very dull.
The campus facilities are decent, but the Wi-Fi only connects within a certain range.
Overall lecturers and members of staff are approachable and helpful, you can tell they actually care about what we learn. Some campuses don’t have common areas so it’s hard to meet other students or socialise without joining societies.
The location of the campus is too far.
I love my campus, and the study spaces provided. Looking to get involved with the societies and clubs, and of course, my department!
High level teachers, very good infrastructure and lots of academic and social activities
due to the guys campus having some areas underground the WIFI isn't very good and causes problems at times
The worst admin the most random grades amazing students and societies and professor but on god it’s archaic and will put you in inane distress especially if you have neurodivergent disabilities . Maughan library is great but again it’s just the weight of admin is Absoloutely crushing
It's great, vibrant, lots to do
I’m a third year biomedical science student at kings and I can confidently say that it has been the most enjoyable 3 years of my life. I’ve had experiences things/ events I would never had the opportunity to do if I hadn’t gone kings. I’ve met the best people and have made friendships that will last the rest of my life because of the societies I had joined.
ok, community isn't great and teaching can be hit and miss but research is good
Very good school with plenty of fun events and student support!
Very good university, poor WiFi on campus, overcrowding classes, poor timetable admin
All the campuses are great and clean and all provide amazing services.
There are so many clubs and societies to choose from
Time here so far has been welcoming beyond my expectations, it's relatively easy to settle right in. The teachers are willing to help where they can and support independence. Other Kings students are friendly and easy to talk to
Excellent! Really happy to be here:)
Kings is a great university where you can find opportunities to grow and improve yourself, ready for employment or further education. The admin is quite slow but I think it is made up for by the vast. Umber of help services available.
Neelam is an exceptionally friendly and approachable stuff at the apartment. Talking to her always makes me feel like breathing in the spring breeze . She is meticulous and dedicated in her work, with a strong passion and a very professional attitude. As someone new to this country, her warm reception made me feel truly welcome. Every time we meet, she calls me 'sweetheart,' which reminds me of my kindergarten teacher and brings back memories of my childhood. I'm so grateful to Neelam for always sharing her warmth and positive energy with everyone.
Amazing university, with brilliant facilities such as the labs and the patient care simulation suites. There are plenty of societies to choose from so you will never get bored, and the university itself is very diverse, including many different people of many different backgrounds. The staff are brilliant teachers and support you with your every need. There are so many oppurtinities available, such as clinical placements throughout all years if your a healthcare student as well as being able to study abroad. The university aims to support its students’ mental health and to make sure they’re safe as well as enjoying their time at their university.
Loved every single part of it.
Well ranked university that gave me excellent and unique experiences on my course although administration is lacking in organisation
I completely my undergraduation at King's and now pursuing my master's at Kings too. It has by far been one of the best decisions to join King's. I genuinely feel that studying at King's has enriched my knowledge and really adds value to my career.
KCL academic staff on guys campus and employment staff are great and helpful. Always open to questions and are very supportive. Admin team and accommodation team are complete opposite. I avoid them like the plague and try to sort my issues out without their ‘help’ first. Accommodation team love being curt and lack the ability to show sympathy or kindness and never wish to be on the phone or discuss issues.
pretty good！！Staff are really and helpful
Always great reception and Neelam is always so nice
It has been a great year studying at kings.
need more technical labs for students
Has been a busy year at kings, there’s lots going on and lots to do. Studying has been intense, but good facilities available.
I like the school's location very much. It allows me to pass by the beautiful streets of central London every day. Studying by the Thames makes me feel happy.
