Kingston University Rankings of Kingston University

Founded in 1899, Kingston University is located in the suburban town of Kingston upon Thames, London. The university’s four campuses can be found in and around the town centre, with a free shuttle bus helping students to get there. This university offers what they call Flexi-stay accommodation, which allows students to book rooms in their residence halls for periods in which they expect to be studying exceptionally hard.

About Kingston University

PROS

  • Students mention that the location is ideal for those wanting to live a city life experience, due to being within reach of central London.
  • Each department has up -to -date facilities, such as the Bloomberg trading room, world -class science labs, art workshops, and high -spec science equipment.
  • Many students agree that professors make themselves available for their students. If you request it, they will make time for individual feedback sessions about your assignment progress.

CONS

  • One of the main concerns that students mention is that the admin staff take too long to reply to emails.
  • While the surrounding area offers a lot of activities, students would like to see more clubs on campus. This would complete the Kingston experience for many already -happy students.

Student Reviews for Kingston University

Student satisfaction:
4.4 (based on 509 student reviews)

“Kingston University has been a good experience. It just doesn’t have as many societies as other universities, so it would be nice to improve this aspect of the social life on campus.”

“The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and their multiple libraries have plenty of space to study in peace and quiet. The only issue is that the admin team takes too long to reply to emails, even though I understand that they receive a lot of messages.”
