Campus is great overall loving my experience and course even on days it is super stressful. Location of campus is perfect with how central it is to everything. It is a beautiful campus as well. The student experience is fortified greatly and is very lively there is always something to do at the university and you can always have a good time if you want to

I really enjoyed my time at UCL. The campus is centrally located by Euston station which is great. There's plenty of societies and extra-curriculars available, and they have recently built new buildings which on campus. There's a choice of two gyms, one at the university and one next door for University of London which you can get student membership with. I did BA Ancient History which was really enjoyable - I got to study a range of modules that included ancient languages and modern history too, as well as the opportunity to do interdepartmental courses or inter-collegiate courses from other UOL uni's. Overall three great years.

Overall the University is good. The lecturers are very helpful and have office hours where you can get extra help. The university cafe's are quite pricey for a student.

Overall a very good university. The location is second to none and the teaching is generally of a very high standard. The only thing to note is that there is not much of a student culture there.

UCL is a great space to pursue your studies. They give you all of the support you need to accomplish your goals. The interdisciplinary and diverse cultures that UCL reflects is the best.Career support, transferable skills from the doctoral school and problem solving oriented zone. Key elements that UCL encourages to help you increase your employability.The Union and all the support that it provides has been one of the best surprises. The work they do is excellent and always improving. A lot of work is going in around UCL. At times it can be difficult to find good study spaces, but they are working on it.

Loved the academic rigour and opportunities from UCL. Sometimes lecturers are too smart to teach well, but great for discussion or for pursuing research. Enjoyed the breath of activities and societies, as well as events even for non-drinking people like myself. Have to learn to manage your own time well considering the many things one could do. Feeds could be better. Not enough space for all the students right now on campus. My favourite bit was the Makespace which students could make and try new things. The global citizenship programme was also a good experience to have working with people from different courses and backgrounds. Career support is also ample. Overall had a good time in UCL.

Beautiful building with motivated lecturers who work closely with you. Right in the centre of London, there is never short of things to do. Career services and union can be more organised, there are sometimes conflicting schedules and also inclusivity could be improved especially among the locals and minority groups. Syllabus is a tad eurocentric but is slowly beginning to adapt. Facilities wise is mainly academic, but due to proximity to many outdoor areas, there is never a shortage of sporting activities, but it is hard to join more than one sport competitively without background knowledge as most trainings fall/clashes on Wednesday. However the non-sporting clubs and societies can be more organised.

I love the campus because of how it is integrated within the city of London. The administration aspect of the university however is lacking and is not always super helpful.

The university has many great things to offer such as the academic literacy centre for improving you assignments; the careers centre that offers help for all kinds of things like job applications, building a personal statement, applying for postgraduate courses. Only negative thing to say it that the campus is huge and it can be difficult to find around when you are going to a lecture. It can be a bad thing that it's so big because you don't feel this connected community of students.

The University has a great variety of things to offer. It has a academic literacy centre to get help for you assignments, it has a careers centre that offers very good help for all kinds of things related to job application and course applications. Also, it has a student union that have many different societies and offers so many things for students. The only negative thing I can say it that the campus is huge and it's sometime difficult to find a lecture when it's not in your main institute. There is probably so many sides of UCL that I haven't discovered yet and unfortunately a year will not be enough to explore all the great things it entails.

Overall a great uni which provides many opportunities regardless of degree. Students are friendly, lecturers usually want to help challenge your ability, and tutors are of assistance when required. Over-population has become a big problem for the uni's lack of resources and facilities.

The facilities are good, nice lecture theatres and seminar rooms. The modules are overall well-organised, most of them are interesting, although it would have been nice to have more choices in the modules

The campus is located in the middle of London and is exciting and close to many great places such as British Library and the British Museum. There are many study spaces available, as well as other facilities such as on-campus restaurants and cafes, museums and displays about art and science. The careers services are excellent, we get many opportunities about available internships and placements, and there are many networking events all year round. My course is rigorous, but there is much support available not just from my lecturers but from my personal advisor, who is dedicated and supportive. The student union is engaging and there are many socialising activities that we are invited to throughout the year. The reps are friendly and keep us well informed, and listen to our needs and suggestions.

The campus in Euston is in a central location and the architecture is really something! It's a good location with easy access via tube, bus etc. The facilities are good with numerous libraries and access to the senate house library which is a great library for working in (although as the student numbers are increasing space does seam to be getting tighter but this is especially true for the University I study my postgrad at also). I studied BSc Earth Sciences, which was a well rounded course in terms of Geology with a good mix of very mathematically-based modules which is valuable. However the course lacks applied modules which would make students more employable. The careers service was diabolical and there's virtually no direction or help in getting employment upon graduation.

The organisation of my school is quite satisfactory. But resources like computer rooms etc and study spaces can be improved on.

UCL is an eclectic and very international univetsity. It offers many different services from sport societies to arts societies ( it even has a broke student society). Many volunteering opportunities are available, and you can easily be advised in career services!

UCL is a very diverse university with lots of opportunities meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. Since the university is so big, there are lots of societies to join and there's something for everyone. Lecturers are very able and experts in their field. The negatives are that the student psychological services needs more funding and needs to be available for more people, proper lecture theatres should be used always (not hotel rooms) and there needs to be more microwaves.

This is my first year in UCL, but it has been a really welcoming and wonderful experience so far. The main campus of UCL is by far one of the nicest buildings there is in London. Other departmental buildings are very convenient and near the main campus as well. Facilities are very good as well, there are gyms, swimming pools, study space etc. that are very accessible and in great condition.

Fantastic chemistry course, good lecturers and good lab facilities. Good student bars around main campus. Career fairs are frequent and we can also have 1-1 career advice meetings.

Despite the campus being a bit small for the many students at UCL, there are lots of libraries and places to eat on campus. The SELCS department in particular is really lovely and makes you feel part of a community

Facilities at UCL are generally good although some buildings are quite old and toilets can be dirty especially in libraries My course is amazing - anthropology would recommend to anyone interested in studying cultures and humans Never really used SU or careers services yet It's pretty well organsied

Not very homely but being in London is incredible, with world-class academics teaching you. Bentham House (Law Faculty) is also incredible. Bad thing is that there is not enough space for all UCL's students, so we end up having some lectures in hotels amongst other places.
