I have attended three universities already including Imperial, and currently doing my PhD here. Previously, I studied in Canada at U. of Toronto where I did my BSc and went to Queen Mary in London to do an MSc. There is a big difference between Toronto, Queen Mary and Imperial. Toronto was much more competitive and academically oriented than Queen ...  Read the complete review

I am about to start my second year at Imperial College studying Chemical Engineering. Imperial is constantly ranked in the top 5 universities in the UK in most ranking guides (The others being Oxford Cambridge LSE and UCL). This means that in the business world it is well perceived and this is no more apparent than by the number of ...  Read the complete review

Choosing the right uni can be a daunting task and if you are vaguely into science/technology, and expect to achieve AAB or higher in A-levels, chances are that you might be considering Imperial. Imperial College is hard work: If you are/were top of your class at school, you most likely will not be here with both standards and workload being ...  Read the complete review

When deciding on a university all I really thought about was what is the best place I can get in to and is it in a feasible location? It is impossible to tell what a place is REALLY like until you have actually studied there. All the information you are given by the unis’ themselves is geared towards attracting students and it is often ...  Read the complete review

Picture the scene; you’ve finished your A levels, you’ve got your grades, and you’re off to Imperial college London. There are two things that you would expect: firstly you would expect that the college lived-up to its’ great reputation; and secondly that there would be some degree of recreation after a hard ...  Read the complete review

I have just completed an MSc. degree in Computing Science (1 year) at Imperial College after having done a joint honour degree in Math and Computing (3 years) at UCL. Having been at 2 different and good universities, I feel that I am able to give a valuable contrasting opinion both. Imperial is a university for the sciences and not the ...  Read the complete review

Imperial College is loaded with places you can find good cheap food. Except its not good. And its not even exceptionally cheap, either. The union sells food in DaVinci's during lunch and dinner hours. 12-2pm and about 6-9pm. It's cheap - you can get a rice and curry for £1.25, and top it up with the beer of your choice from ...  Read the complete review

Imperial College has an excellent reputation, that, I am sure, will serve me well in later life. I am a medical student about to enter my 5th year of study, and feel very lucky to be where I am today. I have just intercalated in Management, and together with my degree in Medicine, I feel will serve me well in later life. Imperial College ...  Read the complete review

Medical schools do tend to be over-advertised somewhat when it comes to this time of year, with young Lower Sixth students preparing to make their choices. So here's my opinion on ICSM (Imperial College School of Medicine). Not that it's bad, in fact having a new lecture hall built by the same person who built the new Reichstag is probably ...  Read the complete review

I love it at Imperial College. The work is hard, but this is something that you would expect from one of the top universities in the country. It’s not cheap either, but it is in the heart of London. It has defiantly been worth it for me though. I have meet some great new friends who I hope to hold onto for the rest of my life, and ...  Read the complete review

After visiting thier open day I can safely say along with the times that is easily the second best university in the UK and if not the best. Imperial obviously specialises in the sciences and if you want to go there it would be best to study a science or medicine . The open day was very well organised so you had the chance to visit two ...  Read the complete review

I have just completed my first year as a Biology undergrauduate at Imperial College which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I had never heard of Imperial College until I was applying to universities, and had no idea that it was rated 2nd in the country. I enjoyed my time in halls, and was very sad to leave, although I found the work tough at times. ...  Read the complete review

I have just completed my 1st year of medicine at Imperial, which is situated in South Kensington in London. In terms of location, this is great becuase it means you get to say you lived opposite either Harrods or the Science Museum if you live in halls. Remember though that it is a really expensive place to find accomodation in after halls! The ...  Read the complete review

Imperial College is well worth attending, as it has a wide variety of fun things to do. There are a few bars and places to eat on site. Situated off Exhibition Road it is within walking distance of a wide and varied range of places to eat and drink. The night life is well worth attending this college for and the courses aren't that bad either. ...  Read the complete review
