Kingston University

Freshers week was one of the best weeks I've experienced. A lot of fun activities to do and many communities to see. Music playing, free pizza. That's my type The accommodation is very good, literally 3 minutes away from the campus. I can just wake up and walk to uni. Great experience Library, classrooms etc... are very well funded. Everything is so good, can revise well Most lecturers are very good at their job, interactive lectures are great. My favourite was marketing in my first year, the lecturer made it interesting. Kingston town is great. It has clubs, shops, restaurants. It looks seems like a small town but it's actually very big.

Fresher week was amazing, meet lot of new people with all kind and learned more about the university culture The Accommodation was the best just 15 mins away from my campus, placed near all the essential shops. The accommodation was cleaned and well maintained all the time All the facilities was easy to access. There was always a sign to indicate where everything was. The good about the lectures it's that the professor would go deep in detail without interruption and obviously if there's any questions it would clear them for everyone. Also during the course they give the opportunity to meet people who have achieved successfully and they will share the good and bads that happened throughout their journey I loved it. I kinder miss the city life now. It was always busy and most business did close pretty late.

There was so much to do in this week it was very fun There was a lot of accommodation both within and off campus. They were clean and well kept. I particularly loved the library and classrooms as there was always a nice place where you could find to either study alone or in a group The structure of the course was set up in a good way that you could easily understand each topic and if you were stuck on something then the lecturers were very helpful I loved my commute to the university as it was a very populated city with plenty of students it definitely felt like I was living the student life

Very amazing.Great structure of buildings and satisfying living standers.Very welcoming and spacious.All staff were extremely knowledgeable and experienced.Lots to do around the area. Great social life..Be prepared to have spectacular time of your life.

It was wonderful, full of different activities at different campuses and well arranged. Got to explore a alot apart from my own campus and met many other international students as well Very friendly atmosphere, and lovely facilities. Pocket friendly rent Easily accessible and always available. Never had to wait for anything Timely arrangement, well clear and teachers were always available to solve doubts. They stay back to help you out. Materials well provided. Provided Training and practice for exams London is different everyday if you believe so and if you have that vision. Every day I have learnt a new things here

There was variety of societies ans activities with goodie bags.. Do not live in the accomdation.. The library has different floors for different type of study e.g. group work has a separate floor and rooms that can be booked with a screen. the Su is a social area with table games. The classrooms vary in size depending on the class size, the good thing about the lecture rooms is that the screen projected on all walls if it a big room so everyone can see the slides.. Very informative and friendly lectures that always help when it is needed. And all lecture work are put on online and the audios so it can be acessed and by the student whenever they want and recap the lecture.. There is a shoopping centre that is near and variety of social areas for student and international resturants.. It does not matter if your no that good at geography because in the first year everyone is taught the basic and further information.

Intimidating as I was one of the few girls in the whole class during induction. Luckily, made friends with my housemate who had the same freshers timetable as me. The partying side was fun as there were different parties all the time that aligned with the St Mary's University. Unfortunately, I didn't stay at the accommodation instead rented out a private accommodation. However, spending time with my friends at their Kingston accommodation was really good fun as everyone got along, usually. It boded well for predrinks and people were from different departments. Student union was a bit hard to differentiate as it was right by the reception thus, almost overlooked and forgotten about. Library - some improvements could be made as there were only 3 levels with very subpar small lifts and not enough study groups rooms. I don't believe I ever came across the sports facilities as it was away from the uni campus The laboratories and tests were good because the class rooms could be used after class for physical projects. The course allowed testing to be done with materials which made it interesting because it allowed a different way to learning. It was a multi diverse course which made the female ratio seem small. Amazing, as there were everything at hand and at a walking distance. Waterloo was 30 mins away from train which was super handy to visit with friends or to go on night outs. The ability to have different culture tools it was just so easy access.

Very interactive, there were loads of events happening. There was a good balance of some sport related activities and others being more social. There were loads of sports clubs having initiation parties as well as clubbing events being held around Kingston and the rest of London; and the freshers’ band to get you into all events wasn’t that expensive.

I’m commuting so I don’t know as much as those who do live at halls, although I’ve heard really good things. My girlfriend and some of my teammates live at Halls and they say that it’s not only affordable, but the services company take really good care of residents, they’re flexible about parties & guests and as long as people follow guidelines there’s no issues. One drawback however is that it’s not a campus uni, so the halls aren’t at the same place as where people have lectures.

I really like the facilities for the most part at Kingston. In the library everything is easily accessible, there’s never a shortage in terms of books I’ve needed to borrow or computers if I need to use them and the layout of it makes everything easy to find. They’re also building a new library building next to the main campus which will just make it even better. The only thing I think needs work is the sports facilities. They’re off campus in Tolworth & although there Is a gym on the main campus at Penrhyn Road, there’s no gym at that site for those members of sports teams at Kingston; and as an American football player for them I think that’s pretty important to have.

The lecturers are really interactive and actively try to engage us, which I find really helpful. Even in 9am lectures where everyone is tired, the lecturers get everyone involved; it makes remembering things a lot easier and I find that it’s less of a chore to pay attention when I’m tired that way.

City life in London is great, the different modes of transport make it easy to explore and get around, even when you may be running late. And day in day out you don’t have to take the same route to get somewhere. Night life is crazy here and the people are great, it’s always a good time.

If people were to study sports science at Kingston, I’d recommend being ready right at the very beginning of the semester so you can hit the ground running. Speaking from experience it was a task to adapt the different styles of teaching from A2 to university level and the different styles of work id be required to do. As long as you pay attention and get the work done and listen to your lecturers there’s no reason why you shouldn’t pass all your modules. Definitely bring a laptop and/or a notepad. Try not to be too shy; some of your classmates might end up being your best friends later in life, so be yourself. Also, (if you can) try to join a sports club; the topics you learn will sink in a lot easier if you can visualise things especially in sports psychology and skill acquisition.

it's was great, everyone was really friendly and understanding and once i found people from my course it was lots of fun lots of accommodation. i moved university's and my first uni had little accommodation. great facilities, new 4 story library and cafe has just been added smaller classes meant more interaction with my lecturer so good! kingston is like the city and subs had a baby

I couldn't speak more highly of the educational staff, as they were simply amazing and always helpful. The structure of the course was really good, as we got a forensic view of everything you can imagine in forensic science. The location was brilliant, as we had everything we needed there and there were lots of shops and places for students.
