I'm enjoying my time at King's. No complaints.
Very nice place, looks great and is always clean. The rooms are even perfect. I enjoy living here . Definitely recommend this place for new students.
I am having a great time at my university and my accommodation!
Really good, could do with a little bit of proactiveness from the professors
I met my girlfriend here and it is made me very happy. The food in the vault is good. I have valued the time competing for King’s College London.
angel lane is a sweet place to stay
King’s College London is a great place to start your undergraduate or postgraduate career and write your own stories.
It's a good experience to live in Student Living Heights
Good staff and helpful - the reception team especially (Neelam) is very bubbly with everyone
It’s alright here, things could be better
The campus itself is nice and in a good location
I am enjoying university so far, there is a good community of people and everyone is very friendly
Good facilities, location, training courses
Strand campus is in a great location in central London and has a lot of areas to eat, socialise and study.
Love KCL very welcoming and inclusive
KCL does not seem to lack in any of the variables put above
All great. King’s College is a great university.
Good overall, sometimes bad wifi connection in big lecture rooms and libraries.
I’m loving king’s so much! I love the people and the libraries.
It is great to study here with large number of students
campuses are so random and social life isn’t great even in halls
The perfect university. 've been learning a lot, amazing library and study spaces. I love the variety of clubs they have from football to martial arts, from chess to shooting. I just love it
Good nice location with easy access to central london
Pretty darn epic if you ask me
Great facilities and lots of rooms for study sessions
wonderful facilities and very helpful staff
Living here has been a wonderful experience! The facilities are well-maintained, the social spaces are great for meeting new people, and the WiFi is fast and reliable. One of the best things about this accommodation is the amazing concierge team, led by Paul. He and his team work hard to ensure everything runs smoothly, always being professional and responsive to residents’ needs. A special shoutout to Neelam, who is truly the heart and soul of this place! She is incredibly warm, friendly, and always ready to help. No matter how busy she is, she greets everyone with a smile and makes sure residents feel welcome and supported. Whether it’s handling packages, answering questions, or simply brightening up our day with her positive energy, Neelam always goes the extra mile. Her kindness and dedication make a huge difference, and we are so lucky to have her here! Overall, a fantastic place to stay with a dedicated and caring team. Highly recommend!
Great university with lots of opportunities with its Central London location.
Lovely uni! Would definitely recommend

Having the best time genuinely for my masters, not just saying that.
not bad but sometimes I don't fell inclusive and respected you
I almost like everything overall
Paul and Hassan are nice guys… angel lane team is incredible
I feel the welcoming attitude from all staff at KCL, from professors to student services.
The library and other facilities are very good
Campus is good. Admin is shocking
I am enjoying being here so much!!
The University campuses are in great locations and I love the idea that we can access any campus despite our course not even being situated there. Seats are usually available in libraries and there are so many facilities available such as printing which is very useful. The only issue I’ve had so far is with the Denmark Hill campus water fountains being incredibly slow
I'm really enjoying my experience here. Loads of extra support
Kings has a really nice balance between work and play. You get good academic support when needed or asked for and it’s easy to meet people because of the social scene and atmosphere
No complaints about any of the above categories. The only thing that I could think of to criticize is that sometimes you are unable to connect to the wifi for a bit after first arriving on campus. It can take a few minutes for my laptop to connect (others I know have also experienced this).
Great place to be always and I love jt
Best uni ever defo recommend to all friends uni helps everyone kcl is the best so good nursing facilities is the best even the clinical part is very knowledgeable and the clinical teachers helps everyone
Really good. My course has too many people though so it's difficult to get individualized care
Overall the experience is great!
Reliable and useful facilities in all campuses plus very good security.
I wouldn't speak for the university, but my course is so far amazing, though it's on the more expensive side when it comes to tuition. We truly are exposed to the state-of-the-art facilities and events, though having the time to use them may prove to be a challenge during semester time.
You can really feel that the professors and the college care about you. They provide strong support to help students find jobs and improve their CVs and interview skills.
teachers were ok, not very engaging. very nice campus, not enough space to study on campus
good university. i quite like guys campus, but waterloo campus is quite old, very sixth-formy, not many people like waterloo campus. the food is mediocre. food spots around campus are good though. library's are good too.
Everything good I enjoyed living here
Loved my time here. Great social spaces and community feel to the place. Caring staff always there to help - big shout out to Radu.
It’s a great university, and I’m very happy to be here.
An excellent university with an amazing Law faculty with supportive staff.
Great so far. I work at st Thomas hospital and the facilities are great.
Great university, I feel lucky to be part of a student community at study at a well ranked uni. My course is interesting, the professors are very knowledgeable and helpful, and there are many extracurriculars and opportunities for everyone.
Good. Not much to say. Just wish I had more sessions on campus face to face
Pretty average experience so far
Does the job good facilities I don’t know what else you want me to type
great, albeit the bad connection of wifi
very nice except for the location of my campus
I really am enjoying my time at KCL, I like the library facilities in particular, as well as the societies and professors that I have.
My experience here has been amazing. I worked part-time in a bar for my first year of university so I didn’t get much time to be on campus or make friends with fellow uni mates. In second year, I got a job at the Student Union, and attended class religiously - WOW. The regret I have regarding wasting a year on things other than what my uni has to offer is immeasurable. The opportunities, the SUs, the libraries, the LOCATIONS, the professors - I have many good things to say and very few complaints. The only thing I could complain about - or condemn - is the speed of the admin!
My experience at uni has overall been a good one but since starting university quite late quite late I wish there was a society to connect gap year students with other gap year students as making new friends is quite tedious
Sometimes it's hard to find a place to sit in the library. If you want to go and study with other people, you have to be there really early to be able to find seats together.
Quite good , but the campus is a bit small. The library is big and nice.
Overall the King’s is an excellent uni. The facilities they provide in each campus are amazing. Although the campuses are spread apart, they are stunning and just that alone would encourage you to go to this university. Clubs and societies will allow you to feel welcomed alongside the supportive student union. Overall, King’s College London is a great university and I highly recommend applying here.
I love the team at Angel Lane!
Most fun uni in London, a shame that the student union is split across all the campuses and the campus bars are a bit dead. Strand campus is lovely.
Certain campuses are great others have barely any study spaces with wifi that never works (Guys). Sports societies are great however.
The university’s student services are very good. It is also full of activities.
First of all, I am deeply grateful to the university for giving me the opportunity to enroll and study nursing at such a prestigious institution. Although this program focuses on theoretical learning, our professors have gone the extra mile by inviting NHS staff to share their experiences with us. This has given me valuable insights into the differences between nursing practices in China and the UK, broadening my perspective. The course design emphasizes holistic development, helping us build a solid foundation in professional knowledge while fostering critical thinking and teamwork skills through case studies and group discussions. The professors are passionate and patient, providing guidance to every student and encouraging us to ask questions and explore ideas. They not only impart knowledge but also share their practical experiences, deepening our understanding of the nursing profession. These enriching learning experiences make me feel fulfilled and strengthen my passion and comm
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!
Prestigious university, excellent staff and programmes..Very proud to be part of it. All services and societies are really good, lots of events happening every single day. A top experience without a doubt.
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!
