For now, I have had nothing but a pleasant experience at the University of the Arts London. The faculty is comprised of passionate and knowledgeable teachers who truly care about their student's growth and success. The campus facilities are excellent, with many studios and resources for creative exploration. Being in the heart of London offers endless cultural and artistic opportunities. I'm extremely grateful for being able to study here, and I highly recommend UAL to anyone seeking high-level education.

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

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!!! :)

The university's great, the campus is brand new this academic year so it's very state of the art. The lifts are pretty abysmal though, there's eight of them and they still never come. I study Fashion Marketing BA and it's really informative, also there's a good balance of student-led work and teacher-led.

The canteen is also good- tasty food in reasonable price. I think the design and quality of our peripheral products could be better.

The facilities are incredible and massively diverse, the libraries containing any book you could possibly need. There are a lot of clubs and societies they just aren't pushed too much. The SU is really prominent during leaving/going back to term time but doesn't do anything too crazy during. However, the careers services, alumni and contacts provided by the uni are so unique and so important!

It is only my 3rd week at Uni but I am very happy with the support and facilities at CSM and UAL. I think that it was great to do all the Get Ready workshops in the first week. I do hope there would be more societies and maybe more participation within the societies - I went for a social where 25 people were invited and including me only one more person showed up. So 2 organisers and 2 people who showed up, it was just the four of us. But I'm hoping things get better socially as we get into the year. Apart from that I think the canteen, food, academic support staff and workshops are really great and if students take the initiative, we can make the most of all these facilities and services.

I enjoy the new building at LCf, however, I am disappointed at the lack of water access on each floor. I think this is a basic necessity and that they should have installed water fountains to fill our bottles with instead of relying on the water bottles that run out after filling a few bottles. This is my main issue. Other than that, I am enjoying the building so far.

The university is more high tech than it needs to be so issues crop up often and I have way too many apps and websites to keep track of all my things and it gets complicated, along with the way Moodle is layed out it's often difficult to navigate when you're looking for something specific. As a student with less money I have to be a lot more conscious about my spending, especially in London, however it doesn't feel like something the university has in mind. For example the food is good quality and well priced for what it is but it's not something I can afford on a frequent basis, even the simple sandwiches are costly.

I think UAL is a great university with a great rage of opportunities. I personally joined a creative shift course which was one of the best things that I was part of during my first year in university. There is a range of career services too on the website which is a good thing to look at when looking for careers or even internships. UAL in general gave me unique opportunities which I will be continuing to do as its very useful and enjoyable, even if it has nothing to do with your course!

I haven't really checked out students union or careers service but the campus facilities are good though it is a bit far away from where I'm staying. The wifi is good but there are tech difficulties with the seats check in app. There are various clubs and societies to join with friendly people.

Student union has little to no contact with many students, because of this only a few students views are shared and acted upon. Also, said students are often shut down by staff. Facilities are great, with staff always happy to help.

I am located at Archway campus and Kings Cross. Archway is not in the best location and the building serves its purpose but it could be improved in.a variety of ways. As an area with multiple classrooms though, it works. King's Cross campus is spectacular though, with everything and all the equipment any creative could want. The campus is huge and modern and has a beautiful library, cafeteria, cafe, social spaces, classrooms, work spaces and social areas. The only thing I would say is that maybe these areas could be better and more often cleaned such as the sofas and private work areas.

For now, I have had nothing but a pleasant experience at the University of the Arts London. The faculty is comprised of passionate and knowledgeable teachers who truly care about their student's growth and success. The campus facilities are excellent, with many studios and resources for creative exploration. Being in the heart of London offers endless cultural and artistic opportunities. I'm extremely grateful for being able to study here, and I highly recommend UAL to anyone seeking high-level education.

The campus is good, but very scattered as the university has a college system. So it would be nicer if the university offered more student accommodation closer to campus, so that there is more of a communal atmosphere and course mates could be more close-knit geographically, which would also help to make friends more easily and organise meet-ups etc.

We have just moved to our new campus. It is exciting to use the new facilities and building. I have been using the career service for a bit over a year now. The team was amazing. I have developed several new skills and understanding of the UK working environment due to their support.
