Great accommodation with great staff, they run good events with lots of freebies
Stop adding useless things such as kareoke room and gym and focus on the basic necessities that are lacking: A sheltered outdoor space, heatlamps, hot shower water, lifts working
Alright, could be better. Not bad
Overall good, staff are helpful when needed
decent i would reccommmmend as its fun and got crazy people
Well, it’s good in general but needs.
Wonderful course with great tutor s
Good campus and good services provided to students and good opportunities for more qualifications throughout uni
not enough societies but good facilities
Good uni, wish we had more face time and lectures
great uni! have loved it so far
Everyone who works here is so efficient and friendly. I love my flat so much and love the area.
Nice and there is a new building coming for LCC
As a study abroad student, I'm blown away by the support here.
Old campus but has everything you need, attentive staff
CSM 1st floor is a bit cold but it's so artsy and there's always something going on.
overall the university has adequate facilities but oculd be improved
It is overall a clean well run place with good transport connections with the tube and buses.
Great Our reception team is the best and Thank you Grace and Sami for the pancakes
Nice and welcoming university so far that I know.
Need better facilities in the university
The campus is very nice and it has a lot of resources
The WiFi is the worst thing but my studio is on the lower ground floor. The rest of the time its fine. The facilities and teaching is outstanding
The internet need to be fixed. But most of things are pretty good.love my uni
Good uni would go again!!!!!!!!

Very cool uni with great facilities, socially not the best- everyone sticks to themselves a lot
Best university for fashion, art, design
Really good experience great location
Great school to go to and excited to see the future.
so good, location is a bit peak though
really interested in helping students
its an old building and small campus made my course’s classroom so small
Awesome university with interesting curriculum
It’s a fine university, the buildings are nice
Camberwell College of Arts has been an amazing place to grow creatively. The atmosphere is so inspiring — surrounded by passionate, like-minded artists and tutors who genuinely care about your work. The facilities are great, the community is supportive, and it truly encourages individuality and experimentation. I’ve learned so much, both artistically and personally.
An overall good university who makes it a point to take into consideration the ideas and suggestions of the staff and students
Everything seems great so far.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at UAL. Central Saint Martins lives up to its reputation as a leading institution for arts, fashion, and culture—the faculty are some of the most supportive I’ve met, and the MBA curriculum was deeply enriching, shaping me both personally and professionally. However, as I step into the job market, I do feel somewhat underprepared. Career support exists but feels limited: fairs are infrequent, counseling slots hard to access, and stronger alumni and industry connections during the course would be invaluable. It would also help if graduates had a short grace period for library access, as resources are crucial in the transition phase. Overall, my experience was inspiring and transformative, but with a more robust career support infrastructure, UAL could better prepare students for long-term success.
Great uni, learnt a lot. Hoping I get a job after though
iI've been learning so much at school—the workshops are incredibly inspiring, the teachers are kind and supportive, and the campus is located in a really vibrant and welcoming neighbourhood.
accommodation is amazing no issues
Loved the society there at uni. Great facilities but you have to be quick to book it or else it’s going to be full. Especially during submission period, everyone will be using them, especially the printers, so it can be stressful. There’s a lot to online resources from the uni to support your career but I’m not made aware enough of the in-person services.
Great Location.Great Value For Money. Big Modern Room. Wifi could be a little bit better at time but works.
I love my course but the only thing is that I not happy with the wifi
Decent school for creatives, supportive staff
amazing university, underwhelming campus
LCC has great facilities and opportunities for learning new programs and skills through their workshops. The canteen and cafe provide a lot of dining options and plenty of space to hang out with friends or get work done.
great great great great great great
The tutors I have are extremely qualified and knowledgeable in their field. They are also very invested in my learning and wellbeing and I have been enjoying my time here.
Very nice and welcoming I like
awesome staff! great support and service!
Acs could have more cultured events, similar to other unis like Warwick
we have a range of facilities to use, but the hour of opening to workshop(textile) is quite restricted, would be helpful if it opens longer. The price of canteen food and artshop are a bit too high and the amount of food for lunch is usually not quite enough. However, I do understand they are already cheaper than anywhere else.
its great, good facilities, great facilities, diverse crowd
Great school, workshops, and teachers
Very happy with UAL overall, Archway campus is a bit lacking compared to the other UAL campuses
great accommodation i love it!!!!!
So proud to be at this uni due to their ethics
Great atmosphere, great value for money, friendly staff
great, love the facilities and amenities, great staff which are super helpful
The helpful, kind, and attentive people working at Wick Park have massively contributed to how much I’ve been enjoying my stay here. Shoutout to Sadia, Uma, and Raza - they deserve all the praise for their hard work and service, it hasn’t gone unnoticed and I am extremely grateful for all they have and continue to do for all us students residing at Wick Park.
Very good experience. Welcoming environment!
just perfect place to study and live
Only been my 3rd week this week but it is a great uni
Love this uni - the only issue is the other students
Good university with great facilities for art students.
London College of Fashion Stratford- Good transport links, nice new building although work is still going on. Overall UAL is not sociable, as there are barely any societies that people go to.
Csm is a doom pit, the place has a cold and pretentious population, what am I paying for?
My experience has been great with ual accoms (unite students) the staff is very helpful and the accoms have been very clean
Lifts always broken, esrly morning fire drills, suicide in campus, n mean staff
Everything is ok. Teachers are kind, mostly
The experience at my university has been really good. Made a couple of friends and some memorable experience along with handful of knowledge
Great university, love my course.
The uni is great as what I expected
Arts and design amazing facilities
My campus is very well kept and clean. The facilities and staff are all also nice.
great housing and very good school.
Building is quite small for students, but facilities are alright.
A lot of good services are available, accessibility is what might be an issue depending on precisely what you are studying or how unique your requirements might be.
It really could be better. Many students come to UAL with high expectations, but the support provided here really needs to be improved. We need more professional career education and help, arrange more manpower, and hope that schools and more enterprises can cooperate, so that students can better adapt to the society.
SU variety not enough, funding of the club is not enough. How possible to hire a teacher or coach for £30 an hour? I pay more with my part time job. Facility not enough, facility is not enough and not easy to access. I know we are art school but how possible we don't even have a gym? Also, the wifi connect is bad as hell and most of the staff I ask ' not sure ' how to due with. Thank you
A lot of facilities, great technicians which are always ready to help.
Rich activities, complete facilities, and friendly teachers, excellent.
There isn't a big venue for societies or student unions, therefore it is a bit troublesome to travel to different clubs as they are hosted in different places.
The university is in a very convenient location and has informative lectures however my campus (LCC) could do with some improvements as the lifts don’t really work
the staff here are so sweet! and it’s the best accommodation ever would definitely recommend
Outstanding, I feel like the tutors really listen to what students say
great uni. beautiful campus and amazing staff
I absolutely love my university. Great people and great tutors.
UAL is amazing but there are sides for improvement
Great university with the most diverse crowd you'll find in London. Great to build a network and amazing on your CV in the design world. It is quite independent though, so be prepared to take control of your studies!
students’ union closed 2/3 of their venues, leaving student staff with less hours and students without cheap places to get coffee and socialise.
Ual is the best arts uni in the country
Good library, lots of open access
Ive enjoyed my course and the people so far. I wish there were more spots for workshops and events since they fill up so quickly by the time I see them they are always full.
GOOOd uni and campus. Dream place to study fashion.
Fantastic school, my course is comprehensive and good lecturers. I feel that I am able to get any academic support if I am to need it.
As a first-year student at LCF, I enjoy very much of my university life. The campus is fantastic, whether is about the facilities or tutors. Various opportunities for me to explore my interests and hobbits from school clubs and societies. Very much appreciate what has been provided to UAL students. I am excited for more to come!!! :)
My campus is at Central saint martins and it has the best location and buildings. Wish there were more common rooms and spaces to socialsie. COuld be also good to have a sports facilities as part of the university
