Overall I can say it is a good university. My course was pretty intense but definitely helpful for my career
love kings! would highly recommend studying here! made some incredible friends and i can't imagine studying anywhere else!
Choosing the right university with the right course for you can be so tiring. I remember I was so worried like how KCL will be? Will I be able to cope up with everything in a new country? Now, I feel so joy and proud to be a part of King's. They made everything smooth starting from the admissions, the modules, their IT services and especially library! Oh and how can i forget the canteen and cafe, haha. I have spent my time in waterloo, strand and Guy's campus and all of them have a different level of vibe. I love being a student here and would definitely choose to purse a PhD from King's if given opportunity.
Great research focus and opportunities for students!
It is a fairly decent university
Good great amazing wonderful fantastic
Pretty great on all of these fronts. Career service could engage with students a bit more, though
good geographic locations and is nice.
Great university and I love it here, amazing education and inclusion from staff and other students. Services are good and very helpful. The students union and clubs are a bit hard to get involved in and seem a bit clicked.
Had the best time at KCL, everything was goof
The staff have been very good with my mitigating circumstances and the area around the courtauld is stunning
I love being at uni! It’s so great and you get to meet so many new people. I’ve definitely made lifelong friends there. The campus is really nice and your bound to have classes in different areas so you get a feel for them all.
I'm a first student at KCL, so far, the university has been an exciting experience with new things happening every day - mainly because of the crowded and busy area that is Central London, which in itself is a whole different experience. The university itself has provided me a good experience so far, with an interesting course and fun social activities. The university is usually responsive to students' needs, but sometimes there are delays, which is a common complaint within the community I hang about with. The facilities are fairly good and the campus where I am located is great (Strand Campus), being incredibly convenient and beautiful as a whole.
Great lecture all around, especially Simone scott, really great guy all around
KCL has been a great place to study, so much so that i will be staying on to do a masters here! my professors have been so engaged in the topics, top of their field, and have gone above and beyond to provide a safe, inviting, and stimulating class room!
The faculty members are highly knowledgeable and supportive, always willing to clarify complex concepts or provide guidance on research projects. Their expertise in pharmaceutical sciences and real-world industry insights have greatly enriched my learning experience. The program strikes a good balance between theoretical foundations and practical applications, with well-structured coursework and engaging lab sessions. Additionally, the collaborative environment among peers from diverse backgrounds has fostered meaningful discussions and networking opportunities. I’m grateful for the skills I’ve gained and would highly recommend this program to anyone pursuing a career in drug discovery and development.
It was a great experience studying here.
High standard and good facilities. Lecturers are experts within the field.
Excellent campus, with good facilities. Tend to always find space to study, plug a laptop in etc. Think my programme is brilliant and the academic and administrative staff are hugely supportive. Thoroughly enjoying my time at KCL.
The university admin is incredibly unresponsive and late with handling student issues; post-admission difficulties (visa etc); and university life issues (accommodation).
I am loving my experience at King’s!! My particular faculty is so supportive and passionate. There are loads of opportunities to make the most of your time at uni and it’s a very diverse, inclusive environment.
Love the variety of clubs and societies, people are warm and friendly here! Internet has never been down
I have just finished my first year at King’s and I am so happy I chose to come here. Needless to say, the teaching is excellent and the opportunities that come from them such as on King’s Careers Connect, is amazing to network and find niche jobs and internships. I would say to go full out and take advantage of being in the heart of London and join societies and step outside your comfort zone!
Great course (MA) which I could tailor to my interests. Library resources are really good. Associate of Kings College talks are excellent and help create a sense of community.
It is really a blessing to study in KCL. The staff are very warm and the classroom atmosphere is also very good.
It’s nice. But the facilities could be better. The people are certainly helpful. But disappointed with the way they treat serious issues at this college, makes us concerned as students.
Amazing University with the best campus and great opportunities!
Great facilities and encouraging professors. However, city universities come with their challenges in comparison to campus universities. Maughan library is brilliant.
The people are really nice and generally facilities are good. The wifi can be very inconsistent in places.
King’s College London is a great place to study! The student community is very diverse, making it easy to meet people from all over the world. Since all of the lecturers actually work in their field (and are often one of the leading scientists in their field), the lectures are of great quality and v enjoyable.

Overall my experience was positive. I met a lot of new people and made life long connections
All perfect. Number of students computer rooms could be increased for students to study on campus without bringing their own.
Great lots of social activities.
made friends ，the staff here are nice and friendly
Really like the university, the teachers are very good
Internet is week around some spots, not enough study places, not enough food places
Very clean environment and friendly staff. Had many shops nearby which really facilitated my life. Useful gym and other facilities as well. It is also close to Blackhorse Road station. Really recommend!
I left another university to come and study at king’s and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my decision, I’m loving every minute I spend here. Thank you!
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
I, first of all, love the facilities at KCL. There are lovely study spaces so I always have room to work, beautiful libraries, and a helpful team whenever I have any issues, academic or personal. Overall, it is a great place to learn.
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
