King's was my first choice as it offered a reputable degree in my subject and an exciting central London location. The degree offers so much choice in years 2 and 3, and I enjoyed perusing my interests by specialising in certain areas of linguistics. The option to study a new language for free at King's Modern Language Centre, as part of the degree was particularly tempting. What I love about the degree is that I don't need to decide exactly what I want to do with it straight away, it can open many doors into different fields and I like having the option to do anything I want.

Being part of the University of London means there are also some fantastic opportunities available; in my first year I lived in an intercollegiate hall which meant I got to meet a great mix of people from various London institutions as well as King's. Living in central London offers so much flexibility, the west end, museums, concert venues and hundreds of restaurants are all a stone's throw away. With so much going on around also means finding a part-time job has never been easier.

Deciding to go abroad for university is one thing; choosing where to go is another. Coming from The Philippines, I had very ideal expectations upon moving to London and studying at King's, and it definitely did not disappoint on many different perspectives. I quickly fell in love with King’s and all that it had to offer, from the thought-provoking lectures and seminars that really get your mind working to the incredibly helpful people at The Compass. Besides, when your campus is a stones throw from the London Eye that pretty much means you've got the perfect location!



The social aspect of being at King's is also amazing. Getting to meet people from all over the world, and being able to talk to them about everything is easily one of the most enjoyable things about university life. Halls of residence are also a great place to be, especially if you're a fresher. Late nights spent outside with friends, enjoying a drink or two at the pub, or attempting to cook a proper meal on your own are great memories to have. King's is definitely the best place to be to have a well-rounded and extremely rewarding university life, and easily the best decision I've ever made.
