In terms of accommodation I ended up living in Stratford, so I had to commute to London Bridge ever day, it really wasn’t that bad, its 25 ish mins on the tube in rush hour, the accommodation quality was A LOT better than some of the ones closer to campus (actual shower not a wet room) and I made a lot of friends within my accommodation who I commuted with! Also it was right next to Westfield
I am thinking of going to KCL, but I cannot afford the first year accommodation! Do you have any advice as to how I can find a room share near Stratford or just anywhere a short commute today? Are there facebook groups I can join? I'd really appreciate any advice, thank you for opening my eyes to the potential of living in Stratford!
I love how truthful you are! I’m not looking at london as realistically it’s too expensive for me but im looking at Aston or University of Birmingham and Hull/York but I love your videos as well for Academics stuff and just in general. Thank you so much❤️
This was so so interesting and helpful (I just graduated from UCL and will be starting my PhD at King's in September!). I'm also so happy I found your channel. I've watched youtube for years and just recently started my own channel, but I have always watched beauty/fashion/lifestyle people and had never come across a sciency person on youtube! So its really nice and refreshing to come across your channel and its making me want to document my own PhD journey when I start next month xxxx
What is the diversity rate like at UCL? I want to apply but afraid that the diversity rate is low. Is there a decent amount of black students ?( Im nigerian and would love to meet my people) ❤️
I totally agree with you with respect to the issue of your lecturers being first and foremost researchers! I am doing a PhD at Kings and although the lecturers do get training on how to teach, it is not necessarily something that they all enjoy - definitely something to consider. Even more of an issue with a non-campus university, as lectures may have research based in one building, but teach in another building across the city! I definietly have this issue as a student teacher and researcher too, although the majority of us do care about the students and will help out as best as we can if and when we are needed!
Loved the video Please make a video about how you approached A level results day. I'm incredibly impatient( a tad bit worried) , i just want to know what my efforts over the past two years have produced, i worked hard but the wait is driving me insane
Honestly thank you so much for this!!! I'm starting at KCL this September for my undergrad and this honestly gave me a better idea of what to expect!! xx
Current undergrad at kings doing biomedical science I completely agree with the accommodation- in private rn :(. I feel like that’s the downside of kings. As for lectures I’m in a common year one programme and I have that pharmacology lecturer he’s amazing. As for the rest of them I don’t really need to follow up with textbooks I feel like they are so thorough
*Abstract* This transcript details a student's experience at King's College London. Here's a summary of the key points: **Location** * Central London location, great access to amenities. * Accommodation can be located far from campus, with varying quality depending on luck. * High volume of tourists in the area can be frustrating. **Academics** * Quality of lecturers can be a mixed bag, with some being very good and others less so. This seems more common in science courses where the lecturers are primarily researchers. * Student satisfaction at London universities is generally low due to teaching quality. * Students frequently have to supplement lectures with self-study and online resources. **Social Life** * Diverse and welcoming student body * Kings students generally have a good balance of work and play. * There is a perceived hierarchy on the Guys campus, with medicine and dentistry students seeming to hold a superiority complex. * Career prospects are good, and Kings has a strong network and many internship opportunities. **Overall** The speaker felt the university offered a great social life and strong career prospects but found the lecturing quality to be inconsistent. I used gemini
As someone currently intercollegiate undergrad at Kings (Geography) and SOAS this is so true!! The only thing i'd say is i found it so much easier to meet people, socialise, and just have a generally more enjoyable time at SOAS compared to Kings but I'm sure it depends on the person.
Ma sha Allah Ma sha Allah we are so happy for you Amina may Allah protect you . Amina you speak quickly ,sometimes it's little bit hard to understand 😂😍😘
The pavements are really wide and can take an ample single tent. There's also a number of Church graveyards nearby where you can just disappear into. In fact, you can access the Kings WiFi in a nearby graveyard - Happy days!
So glad I came across your video, I too studied Biochem for my undergrad at another uni. I'm starting my Msc in Pharmacology at Kings this month and I am a bit anxious having been away from university and working for 3 years and I heard it will be intensive. Do you have any advice for studying, practicals etc Nice and informative video, Thanks!

Hi, I can definitely assure you that UCL is one of the most diverse universities; people from all over the world of difference backgrounds and ethnicities come to study there. I hope your application will be successful! You will definitely enjoy whatever course you study there!
Really helpful video- thanks for making this :) I might be starting a master's in Neuroscience course at Kings this September and I was wondering if anyone on here knows what this course is like, and what is actually taught? x
hey. im year 12 and thinking about applying for neuropsychology as an undergraduate at kings. i had a taster session for neuroscience before. what do you get up to? thanks.
@@arsalkhawaja5865 ya just finished the first 6 weeks so far it's going. Ot would really help if u have alevel .maths and physics difenetly and alevel biology is a plus u dont need it but I found that the ppl who did it find the anatomy module so much easier if ur not doing it dont stree anatomy is inky for the first semester. It's not extremely hard to get in all u need are good predicted grades and a solid personal statement. The course is awesome n u learn so many interesting things n u dont just do straight physics n maths but also how ud apply that particular problem as an engineer and to the human body. Good luck man really hope u make it.
When u say medicine and dentistry lecturers are good as that is what they do does this include nursing lecturers as well? Or are they also just told to teach
its quite funny how as an english student at kcl right now i definitley cannot relate to the social people and the vibe aspect of this video as the english degree is saturated with white, middle class people...

Hi this is a good video, I have an offer to study psychology at Kings and after listening your comments about the teaching its put me off, I am waiting to hear back from UCL and still, and teaching is very important to me, assuming i get the other offer, where would you say do you think would have the best teaching for psychology? thanks
Hi! I do Psychology at King's and I reallllly have to say that what she says about the lecture quality is NOT the same for Psychology. The lecturers for our course are actually absolutely fantastic and are constantly taking our feedback to improve the course so that people are happy with it. We were given all of our textbooks for free, lecturers hold drop ins, there are amazing resources and the course modules are genuinely amazing and engaging (and verrrry relevant/recent). Let me know if you have questions! (Obviously i cannot speak for UCL's course but I considered both UCL and King's and King's won out for me. I have 0 regrets as the course for Psychology is excellent)
@@laurenwhite7961 wow thanks you have made it sound really good. What was first year like for you? I just went to a offer holder day at Queen Mary and the students were saying that 1st year is very similar to A level psychology and according to them it is 'easy' to get a first, was this the same for you at Kings?
@@getshrekd_7825 I'm currently in first year so take that into account when hearing my opinions, but I have found that to be a similar experience, yeah. I'd say first term (especially research methods) has/builds on a lot of stuff you do at A level (I did Psychology and Sociology A levels). I'd say it's entirely feasible to get a first, so far my grades have been strong 2:1s and firsts and I know I'm not the only one with this experience. Some modules are harder than others, though this depends entirely on your strengths as an individual (e.g. there's a Brain module heavy on biology, a Society module which is ovs Social Psychology etc.). The Psych course at King's is still relatively new (I believe my cohort is only the 4th or 5th year of undergrads), but I've found this to be a really good thing as the content is very very relevant (e.g. we have a module called "addressing problems" where you have to apply your psychology knowledge to real world scenarios - we've had Homelessness and Knife crime), so you can imagine it's a very practical course for the real world. This has been an extremely long comment so I'll stop here, but if you want to know more about modules and stuff then let me know. Again, I'm only a first year so I can't talk for 2nd or 3rd years but only from my experience :)
Lauren White Hi I’m currently trying to decide which uni to firm (for psych) between Kings, UCL and York, it’s super reassuring to hear you’re enjoying the course at Kings, would love to hear more. I’m a bit worried about central london living as I’m from a lower income family up north, I just wondered whether you know anyone from a similar background at Kings and whether you think the cost is manageable? Sorry for the spam and it being a slightly odd question but yeah :)
•••• Tommy •••• Hi!! I’m actually a low income student myself, so I can speak from experience. It’s definitely manageable, 100%. I assume you’ll get max loan amount and I can’t speak for UCL but King’s has a bursary which is automatically granted to low income students, so I get £1.6k a year from the uni to help with living/course costs etc. I’m willing to say more but if you could somehow PM me (idk if you can do that on youtube?) i can give more info and advice, just don’t want to reveal everything about myself on YT.
Hi, I got offers from King's, Manchester, Sheffield, Queen Mary and Nottingham for biochemistry. I am an international student and ı don't know which one to choose. Which one do you recommend the most?
hey buddy, may I ask which one you ended up choosing and why. I too got an offer from Kings and Manchester and Im an international student as well. But from the looks of it im falling alot towards Manny
@@hlomphoprincess3573 Heyy so glad that you replied to my comment. I ended up with Kings and tbh I am not happy. I am in love with the city and I have met a lot of people. Everything with the city and experience is perfect but when it comes to school I am seriously disappointed. King's was my dream school and I realized that after covid they literally messed it up, especially with my pathway (bio&chem). Our bio teacher didn't show up for 7 weeks and we did every class online and it was just not worth it. I learned that specifically my pathway is not connected to foundations but somewhere we don't know? Also the exam dates, submission dates everything was all over the place. Now I am literally at the point of failure because the pathway was fully all over the place and our teachers changed bla bla. But everybody has a different experience so I would say you should talk with other people too :)
@@ilgnkoc3020 heyy, thank you sooooo much . Kings was my dream school as well and I can only imagine how heartbreaking it was for an education system we regard so highly to disappoint you like thiis, Im so sorry, I wonder what excuse they had for that. the only thing that drew me towards kings was literally just that, kings- not London which really just doesnt seem student friendly with the lack of community and all ,and most definitely not the London prices. I have been asking alot and with each different persons experience, I get more comfortable and confident with firming Manchester.
I’ve heard lse is quite good, but the environment is a bit stressful( like most unis I guess). Not entirely sure but I personally think either lse, kcl or Warwick :)

Thank you very much for this video - very helpful. I want to do a Physiotherapy degree and have a choice between South Bank Uni or Kings - what would you recommend? Is it possible that Kings will be 'harder' than South Banks?
@@jasmyfan We went to South Bank. It's ok. Nothing special. But if you've got an offer from Kings, take it. Kings College has a lot more clout on the Resume.
I really did like your video as it’s so much helpful and I was looking for these informations specifically. Im having some questions would you please help me 🙃
hey there! I have received an offer for philosophy, but what Ive read bout it so far was quite demotivating... do you happen to know anything about the quality of the lectures? the topics, how they are structured etc. That'd be very helpful! Mant Thanks x
I had the most horrible experience at King's doing a postgrad degree in psych. It was most likely due to lecturers being researchers first and foremost. That being said, this does not apply to everyone. Essentially what happened was that I suffered bereavement (lost my dog, watched my neighbour die in an accident , and two weeks later my grandmother who I lived with and raised me suddenly died ... with me witnessing it and trying to save her). This was when the pandemic kicked off. I subsequently lost my home (my grandmother's house), as it was getting sold by my uncle. She hadn't written her last will. Needless to say,I was not in a good place. I did get an extension granted officially for my coursework, but my supervisor implied to me that she didn't believe me. She didn't get back to me for 5 weeks and when she finally agreed to a meeting, she shouted at me for taking so long and made me feel horrible throughout the entire meeting. I knew that she was not the nicest person going into it, as she made it very clear from the start that she was extremely strict. She did stuff like emailing at 9pm to call you in for 8am the next day and making students cry. The way she treated me made me feel worthless, stupid and non-deserving of a degree. I graduated with distinction from both my high school and my undergrad, next to volunteering and working two jobs at a time, so it's obviously not true. After this I developed full-blown major depression with PTSD symptoms, almost got hospitalized and wanted to end my life. Luckily, I was able to get help and I am now at a different Uni, performing at distinction level and being appreciated l by my lecturers, who I have kick-started projects with and got funding for.
oh and btw now having the direct comparison the level of education and difficulty at King's is laughable, compared to European unis. Rankings don't really mean anything ...
Can I ask how your parents let you move out? I live quite close to london, so commuting by underground wouldn’t be an issue, but I think having an accommodation may be easier, I don’t think my parents will let me tho.
If I am a second year medical student studying in an algerien university for which kind of courses should i apply is it undergraduate or postgraduate course please?
I go to this Univerisity and do Biomed, but all my lecturers are really good and informative and so happy to help. They're also easy to reach for help too. Maybe this has changed since you've been?
Kaynath S possibly. I mean they gave the information but I didn’t feel connected with the lecturers and like I said, they’re not hired to be lecturers so there is that issue that universities have proposed to change for 2020.
I agree that three quality of lectures was especially rubbish and disappointing in first year. They were totally rushed and only there for the sake of it because they had to. But in second year onwards it got much much better as the lectures were more invested in teaching 2nd and 3rd years than first years.
@@niveditaarmugam4901 what course are you studying at kcl? also when you say the quality of lectures.. what do you mean? I really wanna know cuz i got an offer at kcl for this year
Hi Dr Amina! I am planning to apply for a Msc in Clinical Neurodevelopmental sciences at KCL and I dunno if you have tips for international students doing their postgrad there, although I did learn substantial tips from this video. Thanks in advance

In terms of accommodation I ended up living in Stratford, so I had to commute to London Bridge ever day, it really wasn’t that bad, its 25 ish mins on the tube in rush hour, the accommodation quality was A LOT better than some of the ones closer to campus (actual shower not a wet room) and I made a lot of friends within my accommodation who I commuted with! Also it was right next to Westfield

I learned that specifically my pathway is not connected to foundations but somewhere we don't know? Also the exam dates, submission dates everything was all over the place. Now I am literally at the point of failure because the pathway was fully all over the place and our teachers changed bla bla. But everybody has a different experience so I would say you should talk with other people too :)
@@ilgnkoc3020 heyy, thank you sooooo much . Kings was my dream school as well and I can only imagine how heartbreaking it was for an education system we regard so highly to disappoint you like thiis, Im so sorry, I wonder what excuse they had for that. the only thing that drew me towards kings was literally just that, kings- not London which really just doesnt seem student friendly with the lack of community and all ,and most definitely not the London prices. I have been asking alot and with each different persons experience, I get more comfortable and confident with firming Manchester.
I would really love to hear more about your experience as an International student in london and kings.
@@hlomphoprincess3573 I would love to tell you about my experience. I will write back to you when I have time :))
Is kcl good for economics and management? My choices are lse, warwick, bristol, qmul and kcl. What should i choose instead of kcl?
I’ve heard that LSE is really good and I’ve been to one of their lectures and it seems like it’s a good environment
I’ve heard lse is quite good, but the environment is a bit stressful( like most unis I guess). Not entirely sure but I personally think either lse, kcl or Warwick :)
Thanks for the video bt i have question about the collage so how can i communicate with you pls
Hi, you're link no longer works for the uni list

Hey girl plz do ucl because I wanted to apply there. Bless your soul sis
Damn habibti your skin poppin, mashallah ❤️❤️ (my friends made this a habit for me). Thanks for the info it was deffo needed.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Thankful for this video, just a little worried about the teachers now...I will be at KCL for biomedical engineering in a few weeks.
Its nothing like that... I am 2nd year BME student here and we have great lectures. Especially Dr. Khawal who will likely also be one of your main professors this year.
Please do a video for Imperial!
Where did you get your shirt?
are the king's residences catered like the inter collegiate halls??
thanks for this video!! very informative
I need to study phd in London Kings college I need talk to you please
Masha Allah Good information
Go back to shit hole country.
Morgan The No.
Thank you very much for this video - very helpful.
I want to do a Physiotherapy degree and have a choice between South Bank Uni or Kings - what would you recommend? Is it possible that Kings will be 'harder' than South Banks?
hey did you end up choosing, i want to study physiotherapy at kings too
@@jasmyfan We went to South Bank. It's ok. Nothing special.
But if you've got an offer from Kings, take it. Kings College has a lot more clout on the Resume.
I feel like you need to even the playing field here and give your honest account of both Imperial and UCL?
I really did like your video as it’s so much helpful and I was looking for these informations specifically. Im having some questions would you please help me 🙃
Amina I think you forgot to put the link about the uni rankings in the description
DONE!
hey there! I have received an offer for philosophy, but what Ive read bout it so far was quite demotivating... do you happen to know anything about the quality of the lectures? the topics, how they are structured etc. That'd be very helpful! Mant Thanks x
hey, I’m considering applying to King’s for philosophy for 2021 entry...I’m intrigued to know what you found that was negative about it?
the truth is you can't HANDLE the truth
I had the most horrible experience at King's doing a postgrad degree in psych. It was most likely due to lecturers being researchers first and foremost. That being said, this does not apply to everyone. Essentially what happened was that I suffered bereavement (lost my dog, watched my neighbour die in an accident , and two weeks later my grandmother who I lived with and raised me suddenly died ... with me witnessing it and trying to save her). This was when the pandemic kicked off. I subsequently lost my home (my grandmother's house), as it was getting sold by my uncle. She hadn't written her last will.
Needless to say,I was not in a good place. I did get an extension granted officially for my coursework, but my supervisor implied to me that she didn't believe me. She didn't get back to me for 5 weeks and when she finally agreed to a meeting, she shouted at me for taking so long and made me feel horrible throughout the entire meeting. I knew that she was not the nicest person going into it, as she made it very clear from the start that she was extremely strict. She did stuff like emailing at 9pm to call you in for 8am the next day and making students cry. The way she treated me made me feel worthless, stupid and non-deserving of a degree. I graduated with distinction from both my high school and my undergrad, next to volunteering and working two jobs at a time, so it's obviously not true.
After this I developed full-blown major depression with PTSD symptoms, almost got hospitalized and wanted to end my life. Luckily, I was able to get help and I am now at a different Uni, performing at distinction level and being appreciated l by my lecturers, who I have kick-started projects with and got funding for.
oh and btw now having the direct comparison the level of education and difficulty at King's is laughable, compared to European unis. Rankings don't really mean anything ...
Can I ask how your parents let you move out? I live quite close to london, so commuting by underground wouldn’t be an issue, but I think having an accommodation may be easier, I don’t think my parents will let me tho.
If I am a second year medical student studying in an algerien university for which kind of courses should i apply is it undergraduate or postgraduate course please?
I go to this Univerisity and do Biomed, but all my lecturers are really good and informative and so happy to help. They're also easy to reach for help too. Maybe this has changed since you've been?
Kaynath S possibly. I mean they gave the information but I didn’t feel connected with the lecturers and like I said, they’re not hired to be lecturers so there is that issue that universities have proposed to change for 2020.
I agree that three quality of lectures was especially rubbish and disappointing in first year. They were totally rushed and only there for the sake of it because they had to. But in second year onwards it got much much better as the lectures were more invested in teaching 2nd and 3rd years than first years.
@@niveditaarmugam4901 what course are you studying at kcl? also when you say the quality of lectures.. what do you mean? I really wanna know cuz i got an offer at kcl for this year
Great video, can you do a UCL one as well?
Where is your book shelf from please?
Amazon!
I wanted to go to Oxford University but am not that smart or have high grades to go there. Maybe I can in the future inshallah
UK rankings do not capture prestige well of universities.
Hey, can I send you an email for some advice? X
hello, if i wanted to resit year 12, would kings college accept me?
Hi Dr Amina!
I am planning to apply for a Msc in Clinical Neurodevelopmental sciences at KCL and I dunno if you have tips for international students doing their postgrad there, although I did learn substantial tips from this video.
Thanks in advance
