What students say about this university

348 comments (89 students)
    • The library in my Institute is often packed with students from other faculties, which means it can be hard for students from my department to find space to use its amazing resources. Overall the facilities are broadly very good, although inevitably they are also fairly expensive.

    • Student Union bars are very good, and extremely cheap. However, the student union itself can be rather too large and distant with some questionable choices in the allocation of student union funds.

    • The pharmacy course at UCL is quite demanding, there is an awful lot you are required to do on your own but that also means that you get to spend a lot of time with your friends studying
