fun place with many opportunities
Very fun and engaging University experience

The libraries and campus are great but at times the WiFi doesn’t work, especially at lower levels.
I love my University. Great opportunities and great learning experience

The best uni in london and uk for sure

It’s a good university with good facilities
None to my knowledge at the moment
Kcl is on very ok but sometimes ok
Kind teachers who care about their students. Please pay them more
Brilliant experience compared to others
The environment and education is great. It's very atmospheric to have a lot of events on a regular basis.
wifi is not very well，but others are fine.
The school is very nice and well located. The teachers are strong and have a good attitude.
Great university very diverse and very very great
University is good, not too far from the accommodation
Excellent location and structure. Events and meetings are very helpful for all students. The staff is also very professional.
Overall a very good second year, massively improved from the first year. No complaints at all really
Great uni if you want to study English
I wouldn't recommend studying with this institution, especially if on Public Health programme, my dissertation supervisor was basically nicking a living during the pandemic and was beyond lazy whilst working from home, never checked my work, always wanted to give verbal instead of written feedback despite me having DSA and needing written feedback to refer to. In the end during resubmission she decides to inform me my research title is the issue, but did not make me aware during first submission that I can potentially fail, wasnt able to give me dissertation title examples or samples. I am currently going through 2nd stage appeal, delayed my studies from achieving my masters. I have autism and am just so shocked at the lack of support and accountability. Please do not waste your money here.
Hmmm. I think the campus is good and clean.
Enjoy my life in king’s. There is one of the best places in London. We can easily go to the Covent Garden after class. Although the coursework is heavy, remember to churlish your study life here.
happy experience, buildings are beautiful
So far, it seems pretty good to me.
Joyful experience, lots to do and lots of opportunities
Is good, good campus, good classes
Overall like the campus and facilities
Good facilities, and exceptional teaching. Support services could be better.
Great university, diverse clubs and societies that are worth your moeny and pretty inexpensive for membership
the professor in kings is all nice and i feel comfortable study in this university
Lovely staff and great library facilities as well as loads of good facilities nearby!
I highly recommend King's College London. It's a great way to meet interesting and ambitious people, make great friends and be located in the heart of London. The professors are always at your disposal for any problems encountered, and will help you if in every possible way.
I am a student of the Remote Program - Advanced Cyber Security. Actually I dont understand why you are not asking about education. All questions are related to Hotel facilities. How can I score the educatıon if I like to their educatıon methods which I am not happy about absolutely. I can not advise their remote learning programmes to anyone
Great universities and professors
While I'm happy to be a student here, the university is horribly inefficient when it comes to building maintenance on campus - I have witnessed leaky taps and leaky roofs on more than one occasion that have gone unfixed for months. In addition, the cafes have become so expensive as to make it functionally impossible for students to eat on campus with any regularity - it's much cheaper to walk around the corner to a convenience store for a meal deal. The faculty members are great, though! If you get to know your professors, they make up for all of the failings of admin.
Excellent university. No complaints.
Best place ever. Cannot rate it enough.
Amazing uni with great teaching and social life !
Good service, good people, no complaints.
overall a nice university. Everybody is hard-working, however not communicative
King's College London proves to be the one of the best universities in the world for Marketing and Research
My main issues: Dirty and blocked toilets at Strand Overpriced on-campus food options (how is a hot chocolate more expensive at the shack than at Pret??) We're uni students they need to accommodate with healthier food options and cheaper prices Overall: MORE THAN DECENT Toilets at Strand are often blocked, dirty and/or smelly Bush house toilets are so nice always go there Lots of societies to join and socialise so definitely worth it I get weekly emails for career opportunities adn am happy with the options even if they aren't for me Again, wifi tends to go down or be spotty
one of the most forgetable and helpful experiecne, and i will remember the studying period here forever.
Generally good experience overall.
university college London it's quite convenient living in the chapter kingscross.there is so many supermarkets and entertainment nearby.
Overall good experience. Good facilities, community. Some teachers are very friendly wjd helpful too.
Really good university! I enjoy studying there
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staffs of the careers service are really nice! They are willing to provide everything we need for future careers.
Its good for my specific course which is law
Perfect connection for studying and entertainment throughout my time here.
I studied Foundation at King's last year. I was a remote-study student. As a Turkish student, I can't imagine what I would do if I hadn't taken that prep year. For me, Foundation was pretty sufficient, for example, academic writing classes, business management classes, everything a student should know before starting a degree in Business Management. But, they accept students to know how to write an academic essay when you begin your undergraduate degree, and for a student like me, it is absolutely impossible. Now I am in my first year at King's, studying Business Management, and thinking of switching to another university. I haven't been to London yet ( as a student), so I'm not taking that into account. Since September, I have had only 3 hours of classes every week. Not every module has a class every week. Lecturing is provided by pre-recorded videos, so there are no lecturing, only tutorials.
King's College London has been a sanctuary of knowledge and intellectual improvement. Student services have been very helpful and reactive when I needed them. Lecturers and assistants were very inspiring, and helpful as well. This university critically contributed to improving my thinking and writing abilities, and provided me with valuable skills and knowledge.
Have been working online for the past year so only have the online experience. Have been to the campus it is great with excellent facilities.
The school is good and students in here are friendly and excellent. I love it
Extremely poor and ineffective administration leaves people feeling extremely frustrated
There were so many courses for me to choose from, amazing support and community feel
teaching staff are always kind, support and willing to support as much as possible.
King's College provides everything that a university should offer.
Really pleased with my experience at KCL. Would only recommend it to everyone holding an offer, it offers so much to every student, but I must say, you have to be looking to maximise the use of their services, because there are LOADS. Academics are top notch and the professors are extremely helpful. The careers service might leave a bit to be desired but outside of that, it was a smooth and fantastic experience.
A good university for while I was there, it was a shame we were not able to return following the easing of lockdowns
I’m here as a graduate student, very satisfied although I think for undergraduates it won’t be as good as Cambridge was for me.
Variety of societies for many interests different interests
KCL’s strand campus is probably one of the most beautiful campuses in the UK.
all classes are online hope we can have classes face to face
Its COVID times, I cannot really give a proper review of anything.
The facilities at PF Apartments are excellent! The cost is 350 pounds a week and the water grid is fully covered. The location is superior, downstairs is a small park for morning exercise. The transportation is convenient, it is very close to Waterloo Station, and there are all kinds of supermarkets within 1 km. The service attitude of the front desk is also very good, and often send small gifts! On top of that, it's very, very safe!
Even though we didn’t get much face to face teaching I was still able to make uni friends online!! And through WhatsApp
I really like studying at King's. All the professors I've had were great and the campus is lovely, right next to Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden.
Due to COIVD-19, I haven’t gone to my school, and therefore I do not know much about my school.
I found it hard to socialise and get involved . This has been made even harder by the current pandemic.
Kings was my dream university and I couldn't be happier.
this is my first year, thus I havent really visited the university because of the pandemic. however my experience is good so far
I started King's online so my rating for facilities is in regards to their online portals and services. Honestly, although I have been studying remotely, King's has been amazing. The faculty is constantly trying to improve and make the best out of the situation that is difficult on all of us. The students are amazing, there is constant support from older students to us freshers. Truly honest, King's gives you amazing tools such as career advice, mentorship, societies (that are super welcoming), and excellent courses. You can choose to make the best of it.
I stopped my studies early because I was not satisfied with the quality. Now I've switched to another university and I've been very satisfied so far. I think I was tempted by the name "KCL", which in reality was not world-class. I took the distance course Master of Science "Advanced Cyber Security". I took two modules (security management and cryptography) My criticism points are: - Each module has 6 weeks, but practically only 5, since the last week is primarily where you prepare for the exam. For some modules this is definitely too short. - No practical exercises so far. - The teacher only has 1 hour a week for us. A further hour was temporarily granted on request. - The content is very old or does not correspond to the state of the art. For example, historical ciphers were taught for a week and later tested, which does not help me in my life. Many new topics were missing. I can not recommend the program. I paid as of now ~ 3000 EUR without relevant value for me.
nice college, although always stay at home to study
The campus is great with many good teachers.
Kcl is incredible, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Even in times of covid, my experience there has been exceptional
I have degrees from three US schools and came to KCL for a Ph.D. This is by far the worst run school I have ever attended. As an organization, it is incompetent; they deliver a sub-standard educational experience. The staff goes on strike every year. The only positive is that it is a cheap and easy place to get a degree in London. If you want a top tier educational experience, go to LSE or a school in the US.
Enjoyed studying my masters there. Library could be nicer.
Sure its good when they don't lie to you about accommodation and you can make friends in other ways than the non existent societies
Terrible across the board. Honestly very little I’d save of the school, completely disorganized. Lack communication, clarity, chain of responsibility and very few courses were above average.
Fantastic supportive staff and fab campus! 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic university with some of the best facilities in the world. Top notch staff and academics. Certainly more than just a degree you get here.
Really terrible university. No support, leads you to empty your pockets and the teaching faculty bully students. Would not recommend.
Horrible atmosphere on campus, communication from the uni to students is generally poor, union is next to useless. The course and teaching is however, very good. I guess that's what really counts, but everything else is grossly disappointing. Your money may be better spent elsewhere
KCL is the least professional institution that I have ever encountered and provided the worst educational experience of my life. The professors are not as engaged and do not provide as much time with students as they usually do at American universities. The educational services are nonexistent. If you are not a native English speaker, as a lot of the students are, there are no opportunities for writing or academic assistance as foreign students get in American universities. The buildings are poorly maintained. They do not allow you to review your papers or problem sets, denying you the opportunity to learn. Most of all, they strike and use the students as leverage. The administration is totally incompetent, failing on all aspects from tuition, they overcharged me multiple times, to taking forever to respond to emails. There is no customer service and they care more about bureaucratic processes than helping students.
KCL is fine. However, the residence service is absolutely useless. Go for external companies for residence.
King's College London is in every sense a prestigious place to be. Everywhere you walk around, you find the great legacy running through its veins. The study is quite good and some professor's teaching methods are absolutely fantastic. It is truly an international university and anybody studying here would be in awe of its strength, size and education. The institution is perfect in every sense, however, just needs to have a much stronger community environment, for which I have the conviction that it will achieve in the near future.
Studied here for a year. Very happy and have learnt loads. Great Staff and career prospects. The most underrated London uni!
Great college with very high quality lecturers. Great student support.
I did my distance masters here. King's shows very little interest in actually teaching. I felt like I had to know all the answers coming in & when mistakes were made there was NO opportunity to follow up to understand why. Essays with 700 word limit receive only feedback saying what else you should have written. Ask for guidance on improvement & you're sent on a wild goose chase of the poorly designed modules. I've only met one instructor who was genuinely helpful & interested in teaching. Everyone else defends their own position, making sure to not say anything that might come back to haunt them. Vague, intellectually dishonest and self-referencing is how I would best describe my interactions with the majority of the instructors. Also the only thing they teach you is what's going on at King's - so you don't get an actual full picture of the topic, they only focus on the research King's is interested in. 20k for an online masters is a ton, there is MUCH to be improved here.
