    Ucl vs kings
    Hello, everyone!
    I need some help in deciding which course to choose. I was accepted to UCL Politics and East european studies (year 1) and King's college European studies with French pathway (year 2). Both seem to be very interesting courses, as I am interested in international relations. I am a little more inclined towards Western Europe studies, however I am a bit concerned with King's reputation. (some people say that UCL has "a better edge" over King's)
    How would you compare these two universities in terms of teaching quality, facilities, people, general atmosphere?

    Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot! x

    I reckon that UCL and KCL are quite on the same level - though I have heard before that King's was a bit "better".
    I can only give you secondhand knowledge for UCL as a friend studies European Studies there. Apparently the teaching quality of the politics department is quite good as the courses are quite small. He said he was in groups of 20 mostly.
    Maybe roam around the respective forums to get a feel of them or even better visit them?
