We had about 4/5 pieces of course work. If you are good at programming then shouldnt be too hard.

True.

First of all, KCL is not really known for its Computer Science department. Second of all, I find the lecturers/ teachers boring and the subject of CS extremely boring and demotivating as well. It could be a personal thing but what makes it worse is that my course if full of GEEKS who stay at home all year round and study. I don't want to be mean but its summer break and they are preparing for 2nd year instead of partying. Enough said? lol

When are you going to get your results?

Oh and on another note your university is good for nothing. Sorry.

Newcastle's Medical School actually has a really good reputation.

I didn't do too well. Topped my Management modules but have to retake two of my CS modules. There are more than hundred people in my course joining me as well so I don't feel too bad.

Well, as a previous poster wrote, King's is good but it's not a top university. I think most people would agree that UCL is a top university.

KCL is great. Just go for the name if not anything else. The fact that it's in London is worth the 9K fees, as employers will be like 'you went to Uni in London? OMG, You're hired!'

Employers won't do that just because you went to uni in London.

Of course. Thousands of them. Probably more of them than uk students, or at least it feels like that walking on its campus...
