UCL's reputation is founded on its research-driven approach, so if you're someone who loves critical thinking and pushing boundaries, this is the place. It attracts some of the best academics and students globally, so you're constantly surrounded by incredibly bright, diverse minds. UCL’s location in central London is another huge perk. Being in the heart of one of the world's most vibrant cities means you have access to amazing cultural, professional, and social opportunities right on your doorstep. The campus has an energy to it, bustling with students from all over the world, which can help you feel at home. On the downside, the size and pace of UCL can feel overwhelming at times, especially since it’s a large institution with a significant student body. The support systems are in place, but you need to be proactive in seeking help when needed. Also, as with many London universities, the cost of living can be steep, and the competition for accommodation can be fierce.

Q
I am thinking of applying for BSc/Msci in Maths or Maths with modern language. I wonder what is the course like? I have heard there is quite a bit of drop out rate and worry it will be too much pressure. I am not afraid of studying hard and putting in the hours but worry about lack of tutor support.

UCL is a great university with good value for the education provided. The campus is in a safe and central location, close to many important places. The staff are helpful, and there are plenty of resources for students. The social spaces are nice, and there are lots of events, making it easy to meet new people. The WiFi is fast and reliable, perfect for studying. I highly recommend UCL!
