KCL Deserves a subforum!!!

Forgot to mention the Centre for Cell and Integrative Biology on the King’s Denmark Hill Campus which opens next year and the possibility that the MRC National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), MRC’s largest research centre maybe relocating to KCL (or UCL - it has not been decided yet).

Also KCL is only one of two institutions in the UK which is able to perform research using stem cells - another recent initiative that will strengthen KCL's reputation (especially in the fields of biomedicine as this is one of the major areas for disease research and medical technologies at the moment - the other institution is Newcastle university).

This list will only expand in the next few years IMO, as King's seeks to increase its reputation as a truly world class institution.

I am glad to see that UCL now has its own dedicated subforum but why not Kings?

Kings is an important and popular institution with strengths in the Medical fields, Philosophy and Law (good markers of top universities). Many students apply to Kings, many of them sociable and many of them very bright, attracted to the name, size and location of the university (also that it is multifaculty).

While you campaign to get your own sub forum feel free to join "the
godless institution of Gower Street" forum... you can have a thread all to yourselves...

I am so dissapointed :frown:

I feel inclined to complain but I won't. I still say a UoL sub forum should be made, there's no way this forum can accomodate every university.

We've been campaigning for a KCL sub forum for a long time, but don't mind having a UoL sub-forum. At least we're being reasonable.

My first choices are Stamford St. and Great Dover St., but I don't really remember which order I put the rest in. I think Wolfson House looks kinda nice but from what I've heard it's disgusting..

Wolfson is the worst of the King's halls from what i've heard from other students who were unfortunate enough to stay there.
I lived in Stamford St in my final year. While I was a Guy's man myself, it's in a great location for getting to the strand campus (you can walk to lectures and the union etc) and the covent garden area.
Dover St is great for Guy's people because it's only a five minute walk from the campus.

I've applied for the Brian Creamer House. No-one ever mentions it. I was gonna go for Stamford or Great Dover, but theres not a great chance of getting in.

The Danehurst building at KCH is where I have my fondest memories :smile:

Reply 56

lol, I have fantastic memories at KCH as well!!

I wasnt in the rowdy first year Daneshurst block though, rather the more refined block starting with 'P' where the Dinner Hall was.

Was there during 2000-2001, where antics in the Halls gained University of London magzine front page fame... or should that be notoriety?

1) Stamford Street Apts
2) Brian Creamer House
3) Intercollegiate Halls...

But I wouldn't mind being put in the Halls, or anywhere but Wolfson House.
