Really awesome university with a very diverse student body
Good experience, very supportive
Good experience in imperial, but the learning experience is bit tight
White city campus is nice and clean usually but wish the public health building had cold water refill taps. Not a lot of student activities in this campus and have to go to SK. Shuttle bus there was very crowded on exam days. Yoga room in Collab-88 is too small sometimes .
Nice place quiet and peaceful clean common room and nice neighbors
I am living well thank you. Good.

The apartment is clean, comfortable, and well located, making it a very pleasant place to live. It is well maintained and thoughtfully laid out, with everything needed for daily life. The neighbourhood is quiet yet well connected, with easy access to public transport and nearby shops. Overall, it offers great value for money and I would happily recommend it.
Pretty good pretty good pretty good
Too much tuition fee for the medical school students
I like the university, And made many friends.
It was a great experience and I learned some new things.
Imperial is a world-leading university with good teaching resources.
Good good good good good good good
Alot of student clubs and career support
Very happy with both the uni and the accommodation at gradpad woodlane! Reception at gradpad is great and everyone is really accommodating! Uni is great!
Good uni, love the waterpolo. Have a good time
Reception is always available.
Honestly, I love my school and the people there
What I love most is the atmosphere on campus. There’s always something happening and you feel like you’re part of a very international, energetic community. The quality of teaching and support from staff has been great, the facilities are modern, the libraries are great spaces to study.
Everything is good，and it also a good university
Decent but a little small. Great research
Meets the expectations of what you would expect for a top university campus to be like in central London.
As an international student coming to Imperial, I had my fears; however, I am amazed at the warmth, the reception, and the willingness ot both staff and other students to assist. The facilities are very nice and standard, and Imperial has a very beautiful scenery.
Hard to find your people at first but you will get there eventually. Profs are amazing and there are always opportunities you never knew were there. London is also the best place to be for starting your career.
Amazing Chem Eng department with Carbon Capture Pilot Plant.
I just strarted a master at imperial and everything is how I expected and even better. Especially the career support we get from day 1.
The only thing I would point out ifls the lack of study spaces since the demand is huge.
nice but really need hard work…
The accommodation is clean and comfortable, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is good, walking distance to the university
I still remember the first day I stepped into South Kensington, a mix of excitement and imposter syndrome bubbling inside me. Imperial has this reputation—ultra-smart, ultra-focused, and yes, ultra-competitive. And it lives up to it. But once you're in, you realise it's not about being the smartest in the room. It's about curiosity, grit, and collaboration. One of the defining moments for me was a group research project in my final year. We were tasked with developing a prototype for a wearable health sensor. It was stressful, chaotic, and full of technical setbacks. But seeing our prototype work on demo day—and having an external company show genuine interest—was a moment of pride I’ll never forget. That’s when it hit me: Imperial doesn’t just teach you knowledge; it trains you to build things that matter.
I had a very good and excellent living experience here. The room is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and quiet environment for both study and rest. The location is also ideal—it’s very close to Imperial College London, with easy access to both the South Kensington campus and the White City campus. Commuting is convenient, with multiple bus routes and underground lines available, allowing us to reach the university in about 30 minutes. In addition, the accommodation offers great support for receiving parcels, which makes online shopping hassle-free. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to live, especially for students.
Great! Lovely sitting at South Kensington. Overall is great. The canteen is ok. SU is probably good but need to work on communication and production of tangibly perceivable outcome more. Wifi is good.
Awesome reception, room and sharing laundry.
Great accomodation with wonderful facilities. Would recmmed to a friends. Great wifi as well
The facilities are good, but study space can sometimes be hard to find.
Very good university with good communications from the staff when things go wrong/ need to be adjusted.
Everything is good, college provides much help about our career, clubs and societies are rich and interesting. Although there are a lot of exams and homework, the college provides psychological counseling services.
Great place to study and meet different people
Everything is generally above satisfactory. Only point of complaint would be that certain parts of the campus could do with renovating. And not to mention, the queen's tower has been under renovation for how long now? I haven't interacted with the student union too much but I believe they are doing a good job.
It's a bit underwhelming for such a good uni
I love my office, especially on weekends.
The internet/wifi at times has been a bit slow for example in the student union, and I wish the campus was a bit larger and had more green space. But aside from that everything is great
Have had a great experience so far
Loved every moment at Imperial!
I absolutely love everything about Imperial!
Genuinely not a great experience. You work like a dog, you are forced to go in and have your attendance closely monitored like a hawk. Each day that goes by you feel like a stray dog, left alone, to fend for yourself in a large, unforgiving environment full of international students. Teachers are terrible and I would not recommend me. Trust me, you will regret it.
The room is clean and comfortable. Perfect location for walking to university. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for students to book here.
Excellent research facilities and opportunities. I’m from the faculty of medicine and there the labs are incredible, the research being done is cutting edge
Facilities was fine, lecturer was friendly
As an international student, you can find everything you might need at Imperial College London. It has great facilities, student unions and career service and a very supportive environment.
The WiFi speed is great, careers service is also decent, there's a huge variety of clubs and societies to choose from so you are more or less guaranteed to find one you like.
Campus is lovely, unfortunately, there isnt really much space for study. The library is always crowded and I cant focus there. The student union is meh, slow sometimes... However, the diversity of society is very good. Finally, the internet here is very fast.
Overall our university campus has all you need, from a large selection of workspaces, good WiFi and a cafe to keep you going. There are student services dotted around for pretty much every issue or support you may need
There are a lot of societies, which is great. However, try not to sign up to too many of them, and prioritise commitment to one/two societies.
Great experience overall in my opinion
It’s good , but the life sciences department needs some work - they are not organised.
Through enduring hours of rigorous study, Imperial offered many comforting experiences to make academics tolerable. Imperial College Union offers an excellent range of clubs, projects and societies to expand your social reach and optimise your enjoyment at the University. I personally recommend the sports societies as that’s where I had the most fun.
Imperial is very nice and welcoming, with a variety of societies you can join. Within the natural science department, there are events at the start of the year to get to know everyone and the university itself is very thoughtful for its students by providing 1-1 interactions
Perfect experience! The manager Ozan are always able to solve our problems on time, he is super kind.
Everything is good. The stay experience was good. The receptionist was very friendly.
Great university and amazing experience
Imperial Business School was my dream university, and I am fortunate to be part of it.
Great place, good friends. Fay is very helpful.
The professors are wonderful. I've learned at lot from them.
Great university - definetly a carrer boost
Great campus located in the heart of London, with many study spaces and clubs.
I have enjoyed my time at Imperial! Made lots of friends and learnt a lot.
It has been very exciting study at the University with world class faculties.
Good university, excellent location in South Kensington
old facility and broken everywhere.
Weird people with ok student supports. Not much clubs and societies, not that I will necessarily be interested to join with others in this university lol
Slightly above what I expected but nothing special
A great university and I am glad to join it.
Spent a year at this studio and was thoroughly impressed. The space is lovely, and Ozen, the manager, provided outstanding service. Truly appreciative of the comfort and hospitality.
Great experience overall ! Wonderful college campus
Imperial is an amazing university
Amazing experience. Best campus in london.
Amazing college, very good campus.
Very good campus facilities and canteens. Could improve social events
One of the top universities on the world, good social connection, and amazing research.
Good experience,cleaning and quiet. Feel comfortable
Great university with lots of fun societies
I have enjoyed every single year of my studies at Imperial College, in which I have found what I am truly passionate about.
It’s challenging and academically rigorous yes, but there isn’t much room for a work-life balance and not much support from senior staff. Its very intense and I found myself suffering from worse bouts of depression and anxiety while studying there.
High end facility, poor spaces and toilets
I love my uni! My favourite thing about South Kensington campus is the library!
