No waaaay is KCL better than those unis! Columbia speaks for itself, the UCs are amazing and Duke is pretty much an Ivy. :laugh:

UCL and KCL are without doubt the worst universities I have ever seen or been too. Very overrated. Highly recommend against applying to them

UCL is the most overrated, even though that's where I'm going...:redface:


I wish I quit while I had the chance, the worst university ever I could think of. I recommend changing before it's too late

Overrated: The Russell Group

People on here make out that your life is over if your university isn't in the Russell Group. In the real world nobody really cares.

I'd have thought you'd have learnt your lesson by now callum_law, but apparently not :rolleyes:


I'd have thought you'd learn how to use vocative commas, but apparently not.

Fastidious use of vocative commas is a little OTT where colloquial/conversational English on student forums is concerned, but thanks for the pro-tip. Seriously, where do you get off being so negative - where has it got you, other than banned? At least post on-topic and add something to the discussion (other than 'the lowest form of wit':wink: :yy:


I only said "righto" and then you mocked the eloquence of my post. How am I the bad person in this scenario?
Underrated: LSE

Has a reputation for being crap and having a bad social life, not the case.

Why LSE and UCL? They deserve their reputation...

They're above Imperial in global rankings, which is complete nonsense. All the current UCL applicants I've spoken to feel like they'll get their bottoms kissed because they have the uni's name on their CV. LSE because people think it's a ticket to big bucks, when really, they just compete against other top 5-10 uni students for jobs.

I study at UCL and its ****ing ****. I'm not going to explain why it is since it will take multiple essays. Just take my word for it. LSE don't teach STEM subject so I don't rate it.

I attend Warwick, but it's definitely one of the most overrated unis in the UK lol

It acts like its super selective when over 70% of applicants get offers... at least the employers don't know this :tongue:
