The main campus has a new area outside the South Quad that is spacious and great for a break in the middle of the day. Just down the stairs is the new cafeteria which not only serves a much larger selection of food but the quality is generally better than before. The seating area is larger and there are many charging points available for students to use to study in the area whilst it is not meal times. It is to be noted however some regulations could be put in place to ensure that students do not study in the area during peak meal hours as spaces can get limited. There are a wide variety of courses offered ranging from arts to sciences and the best part is that electives allows for you to take an arts subject even if you're getting a science degree. Downside being there are no sports facilities but that is the payoff in a city University. However there are two gyms located in the vicinity of the University which offer very generous prices for students which is always a plus!

The campus is beautiful and the facilities are very good. The library is huge but seating options are limited. Organisation of the university is excellent. Gym is really good. Overall good experience

Campus is good - it has a nice feel and don't mind having to spend 5-10 minutes walking between my lectures. Learning facilities, however, can sometimes be lacking. There have been several occasions where I've been forced to sit on the floor of a 2 hour lecture because there weren't enough seats to accommodate everyone. Sports facilities, understandably, are also lacking due to UCL's central location, but at the same time I don't want to have to travel to outer London to play sports on a Wednesday afternoon. Organisation is unbelievably poor for a university of UCL's status - too many last minute room changes, too few seats in teaching rooms, tutors showing up late for tutorials (not blaming the tutors themselves here) and exam timetable being released late are just a few things I've noticed over the last two and a bit years.

UCL has low student satisfaction and finding a seat in the library during exam season is daunting, but most lecturers are great and the campus is located in central London so you will never run out of things to try in the area.

The campus is not the best but the help and support we get is incredible. Careers service, especially is great and encourages students to get involved by constant reminder emails.

we have a brilliant university with lot of nice people, however the course structure is not planned too well. the overall environment is good but not enough of sporting activities.

The campus is well located in the heart of London. Facilities are easy to find and the staff and security make me feel safe studying at the university.
