  • 4 campuses all connected with Free University Bus ride. Library is A-Class amenity and it's open 24 hours for the Kingston Students. My campus was Penrhyn Road Campus. However recently they have organized all the modules on different campuses so that you can experience studying on the different campuses.

  • To be honest, landing a full-time job in the field you have studied is difficult. I would really suggest having a backup plan of going back as well. if within 3 months you don't find a job after completion of the course, you can opt for a post-study work visa. But I would suggest saving the money and trying for job opportunities within your home country.

  • The biggest downside, if you ask me about my campus life, is that I have never seen any events or cultural activities at my university.
  • Besides the sports, library, and medical facilities, PCs equipped with GPUs for doing AI and ML tasks are also available.
  • The major club that was present was the students' union, and I had witnessed one Election. I had witnessed no sports, no extracurricular activities in my period.

  • I had my relatives and friends here; that's how I got my accommodation sorted. My monthly average expense, including the rent, was about 550 pounds.
  • It is hard to find accommodation here unless you have any friends or relatives who can refer you. Get the accommodation sorted before coming here. It will be extremely difficult and exhausting to find something. My house was about 10 miles away from the campus, as I was lucky some of my friends live in one part of the city and travel to the farther part for studies (about 30-40 miles).

  • Campus was very nice; we had like multiple campuses in town, mainly around 10-12 campuses, which included the library, which was the best, which had many facilities such as laptop loans, book loans, sports and medical help. We also had many educational and cultural fairs for networking too, where we used to brainstorm our ideas.

  • Off campus you can search on many apps or just be in touch with the seniors as they help you find the house. Rightmove is the best app and website that is legit; be ready to pay money to the right agent and person, as it is important you stay legal as your address goes into the database of your insurance number.

  • There are four different Campuses of Kingston. The campus had a medical room, library, and sports. There were different clubs where you could sign up and showcase your diverse culture. There is a sports club where you can join in and play cricket during weekends. You will be taken to play in different places in London.

  • University helps in getting in touch with seniors who are leaving, which is the easiest form to find an accommodation. I found my accommodation the same way. I got picked up from Heathrow airport and dropped off at my accommodation, so there was no hassle for me. There are many private accommodation near uni as well.

  • My University has four campuses namely the Penryn Road Campus, Kingston Hill campus, Knight part Campus and Roehampton Vale Campus. We have dedicated infrastructure for each and every department.
  • The Penryn campus has the largest library followed by all other campuses with respect to the department. There is Kingston Student Union conducting various events and festivals occasionally.
  • We have Freshers week, Elevate and Campus placement fair and the career centre for future prospects.
  • Sports activities are available only at the penryn road campus. But we need get some contacts to enter the sports team in kingston.

  • I found my accommodation through the University Facebook Group for freshers. I got a message of two girls who pursue the same course. We referred a private website called Spareroom to confirm a rental accommodation.
  • I recommend students to be active in the facebook group to easily connect with the fellow classmates. Luckily I stay just 10 mins away my campus.
  • Many students prefer to stay in Hounslow at low rent. But its far away from London (1 and half hours travel in bus)

  • I opted for student accommodation. I went through a few online platforms and Facebook. The rent was 750 pounds a month, which included all bills (electricity, water) and a gym.
  • Finding accommodation fitting in my budget was quite difficult, but I eventually figured it out.
  • I would suggest if a student is coming with friends, look for a flat and stay there instead of student accommodation. They are too small and very expensive.
  • I lived 10 minute walking distance from the university campus
