Student Ratings for University College London

-
Google ratings:
- 4.5 (based on 1557 student ratings)
“I studied philosophy here for two years. I really liked the format of the delivery of my course, where we would have an introduction to a topic where a lot of information is thrown at you all at once, and then you always have a seminar with your tutor where the topics are explored more carefully and in-depth. I loved this approach and it really helps you learn your subject properly.”
“I choose UCL because of its prestigious reputation, and the amazing buzzing social energy coming from the other students on the campus”
About University College London
PROS
- Students at UCL have many positive things to say about the abundant clubs and societies on campus.
- The administration listens to students, often making changes to the university based on suggestions given by the student body.
- In terms of rankings, QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education place UCL among the top 20 in the world.
CONS
- One aspect of the university that annoys students is that the area is full of tourists. This makes even going out for a coffee a difficult task.
