When looking at universities I was mostly interested in finding somewhere where you can do anything. King’s is that place. Located in the heart of one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse cities in the world there is always something to do. I was immediately drawn in by its reputation, location and its courses, but it was once I visited that I felt a sudden excitement which came from the world class facilities.

As there is so much to do it’s hard to find time for it all, but being involved in societies such as Medsoc Musical Theatre is a great way to make friends quickly and made me feel part of the college from a very early stage.

King’s is also great at helping students when it comes to work. I attended the courses that the English Language Centre had to offer on making the jump between school and university making me feel far more confident about my work. London is expensive but by budgeting and going to free events such as gigs on Brick Lane I’ve managed to make my money go further.

I chose to study at King’s because of its world reputation, the facilities and location. King’s provides a variety of opportunities for students to network with different people and meet professionals from across the industry. The networking events not only help me to build up my personal connections but also it gives insights into the career I plan to develop. Moreover, other services available at King’s are also beneficial. For instance, the wide range of resources in the Modern Language Centre have helped me to vastly improve my Spanish.

Apart from the academic facilities, King’s also support the student societies where we can organise different activities based on our nationalities, sports or interests. Being a Student Ambassador and the Vice-President of the Taiwanese Society, I have not only learned from the leading experiences but also I enjoy helping my society members and the student body as a whole.

Since I plan to set up my own businesses after I graduate, King’s and the support it offers will undoubtedly help me achieve my goals in the near future.

'I chose King's mainly because of its superior academic reputation. As I was applying for my programme, I felt it was necessary to choose a well established university that would make me stand out to prospective employers. King's gives you the X Factor enabling you to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

The atmosphere at King's appealed to me greatly as it felt diverse, yet welcoming and friendly. Being involved in the Business and Ski societies gives me the chance to meet new people and have fun alongside my studies.'

I chose Kings as my place of study because it offers me the connection into businesses in the city: King’s is a prestigious university with a high reputation for my chosen course. It has been amazing as the course is well structured and I have met such a wide range of people from different countries and culture. The best part is that King’s is affiliated with the NUS. This really boosted my desire to study here as I am a current committee member of NUS Black Student Campaign. King’s has enabled me to continue the work I have been doing whilst at college and that’s very important to me.

I would recommend that any student who chose Communication Skills as their optional course should take it seriously. In communication you learn so much about working as a team, committing to a commitment of the team and having autonomy and responsibility. These skills are highly essential, especially now; you need as many skills as you can get to improve your employability.

My campus is really cool and easy to navigate and locate – I am terrible with maps and I was glad that that my campus is just near the station. The rooms are big enough and easy to find and the security staff are really helpful. Living in London means you will never be lost or alone and you can be out as late, or as early, as you want.

I stretch my NUS ‘extra’ card to its limit and it has saved me loads of money from food to clothing, hotel bookings and even clubbing. I highly encourage students to make the most of the savings even when buying low cost items – reward point cards can also save you a lot of money.

'I chose King's because it is one of the best academic institutions in the world, and is based in London, one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

I'm in my final year studying Business Management. The course has been everything I had hoped for, providing me with a solid grounding in Management techniques as well as a desire to move into finance when I graduate.

I spent my first year living in King's College Halls which was great fun. It has all the facilities you could want as well as introducing you to a mass of friends, whom I have had throughout my time at King's.

Aside from study I have been heavily involved with the tennis club and I have taken on presidency of the club. One of the best aspects of King's is the vast opportunity to take on activities alongside academic studies. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would do it all over again if I had the chance.'
