I want to acknowledge the work of Phe at Stapleton House. He has been gentle and supportive since I arrived. Without his help, I would not feel as good as I do living here, especially regarding daily routine issues.

It always is a good option to be a student of UCL.
The location here is perfect! I can buy anything I like here.
Really nice campus! Does get super busy during exam time though.
Best uni experience I could’ve asked for, brilliant faculty and excellent facilities!
everything is good, I have great time here with all the accommodation staffs, they are always to help me
Great-gorgeous campus with fanatastic student areas - plenty of help as a masters student
Nothing to complain about. Good choice if you looking for a good world ranking university
UCL is great, considering all the resources and help you can get from the staff.
Good university. Good professors and exposure in the field you are interested in.
Great university and nice people
The school building is both historic and modern in style, with complete library facilities and enthusiastic school staff
Very good uni, very good experience
Good facilities in general, but often have WIFI connection issues in libraries during crowded days
I’ve had a really good experience here. There is a really good teaching standard, the teachers give good feedback and generally the uni feels well organised. There is also a great social life here.
Great University, a lot of people and sometimes that can feel overwhelming but once you find your group of people it feels like home.
great uni but tech is sometimes breaking down and there isn't enough space for the students it has
The strikes have been a nuisance and very disruptive to my education. We have missed out on some vital visits that were never rescheduled, assignments graded months after submission, and teachers have been hard to reach during these many months. UCL need to do better. We have essentially paid for a full degree without receiving it fully, and obviously have not received partial refunds.
Ok ok ok ok ok ok can can can can good
Good teaching and excellent research facilities.
Very nice, very nice facilities. Strong student union
Great super nice I love it very much
Not much to complain about because UCL seems to put a lot of effort to organize things out. Experience would truly depend on which programme you are in and which societies you join.
Nice studying there. Wish there are more activities during the summer break
Extremely challenging/demanding but Brilliant overall
Good quality lecturers, really enjoyed it
It is the university I looked forward to going to. It's quite nice.
Good university, strikes can be annoying.
UCL rocks! Outstanding education, brilliant faculty, and vibrant campus life. Proud to be part of this prestigious institution.
Good campus experiences, professional academic opportunities
I am generally happy with UCL even though i will be changing my uni next year. I did foundation course this year and the workload compared to other foundation courses are much heavier however the course pays off.
UCL provides a wide range of teaching programs and entertainment activities - clubs, sports games and so forth. The guidances for student to study and work is very considerate and helpful.
World class teaching and all lecturers are very knowledgable
Great learning experience and excellent tutors to guide us. Fees high but it is an experience worth it, if one can afford the high cost of living in London
Good location. Some nice teaching staff.
Good university. Will recommend.
it is a good university. The atmosphere is very good and i have a very good time here. Also, it provides relatively good facilities for us. Very good.
It really hard to motivate yourself to go to campus knowing that it’s unlikely you’ll find a space to study. I was gobsmacked when I recently saw uni of manchesters new study spaces for their students and how much availability there was in them. UCL should aspire for something like that
UCL is a good university, staff are very nice, while the food in canteen is not good enough and a little expensive.
I love the geat variety and amount of spaces to study and socialise. The food options on campus are also very varied and very cheap compared to options outside campus. The staff and teachers are very friendly.
I really enjoy UCL! It’s in a great location too
It would be better to have more study place.
Truly global university at the center of London!
Overall good university experience
UCL is an amazing university. My course has proven that it is really one of the top universities in the world. The international population at UCL makes it very unique. The only thing that UCL lacks is places for their students to spend time together. Study spaces are always overbooked and lunch spaces aren’t really adequate or perhaps just not advertised enough
There can be more students activities
Most of the clubs and societies I was very interested in mostly included undergraduates. As a postgraduate student, i felt out of place a bit. Apart from the club, UCL is a great choice for postgraduate studies for African students. My lecturers at the Institute of Education were very knowledgeable and helped tremendously in my studies
located in a dynamic city, which is great.
very nice campus and we have many seminar talks and activities to attend
I am really enjoying studying in UCL.
had a great time studying at UCL! the student centre is really lovely
Excellent facilities, libraries and campus buildings all walkable distance from each other. Student Union very active and covers a wide range of topics, as well as offering multiple cafes and bars with cheap food and drink and a place to chill, socialise or study. However eduroam has issues frequently - i could not connect to the internet at all one time i went to study in the cruciform library
Campus is great. Staff is welcoming and friendly.
I want to acknowledge the work of Phe at Stapleton House. He has been gentle and supportive since I arrived. Without his help, I would not feel as good as I do living here, especially regarding daily routine issues.
My time at University College London has been unforgettable. As part of a research group, I had a happy studying life with supportive classmates and faculty members who were always willing to offer guidance. The state-of-the-art research facilities and resources available to students are second to none. The campus is vibrant and there is always something going on. I have made lifelong friendships with my classmates and research group members, and I highly recommend UCL to any prospective students looking for an exceptional academic experience with a supportive community.
Does not have a clear campus, does not provide enough facilities (ex. Gym, perks) Everyone seems so isolated and divided
Good to be a part of, too much stress though
Excellent university with lots of great resources and opportunities
very nice ！ the service is very excellent
Absolutely love this university, though Students' Union could work more to represent students' needs.
very good experience as an exchange student, many excellent student clubs and societies to join, can make new friends easily
I have had an amazing experience at UCL.
UCL has bad administrative issues, and as an exchange student I found it hard to integrate into
The new campus is good to study, but the limited space may be improved
Great experience at UCL so far
Good fit for me as an affiliate student!
I've not been here long however my experience has been positive. The campus facilities are fantastic with only a couple of notable exceptions. There are a broad range of clubs and societies, however it's often hard to get involved or keep up with these societies if you aren't on social media, I'd prefer it if they used their students union page to inform members of activities as well as instagram.
The most breathtaking main campus in one of the best spots in central London! Such a privilege to study in such an amazing location. The students of the university are so friendly and down to earth. A really great community. So many great libraries and food spots. However, I wish there was more space in the student centre, it’s such a cool building to study in and a great place to socialise but it’s a huge shame there’s hardly ever anywhere to sit. For such a big university the student centre building should really be a lot bigger.
Nice campus, with lots of societies and activities. In general, UCL is more likely modern and practical uni rather than classic style
There are a variety of events for students to participate.
UCL has amazing study facilities and a huge opportunity to socialise through various societies and course related socials:
Great uni- course is amazing and lecturers are really helpful.
Very nice University providing lots of opportunities
all staffs are hospitalized to students
Wonderful experience overall, especially love the students center! Toilets could be cleaned more regularly:)
UCL offers an extensive range of extracurricular activities to its students, catering to a wide variety of interests. From sports clubs to music societies, drama clubs to volunteering opportunities, UCL ensures that there is something for everyone. These activities provide students with the opportunity to pursue their passions outside of the classroom and to develop new skills while building a sense of community. However, it is important to note that UCL does not have a dedicated piano practicing facility, which could be a concern for music students or anyone interested in learning to play the piano. While UCL does offer music societies and other opportunities for music lovers, students who need to practice the piano may need to look elsewhere.
UCL is amazing I love everything about it. The Wi-Fi is good in most places but in some buildings you just have to accept there is no Wi-Fi at some points eg Kennedy lecture theatre
UCL is a great university to study your LLM.
