Why is student satisfaction so low at UCL?

Commenting on the damning results, Hannah Sketchley, the union’s Democracy and Communications officer, said: “Perhaps if the University focussed on its current students and pastoral care rather than cynically expanding and bringing in more and more high-paying students for their fees, and then immediately neglecting them, the current students would be more satisfied.”The results seem to have struck a chord with disaffected students on campus. Roshni Mehra, a 2nd year Law student said: “The ridiculous price of rent and travel doesn’t help any student no matter how much someone points to QS Shanghai and revels in the university’s academic rigour”.It's a corporate Uni, there's no student life and people just go there to get the degree and get a job.

Is that what MOST people go to Uni for?

Because it's close to LSE and Imperial, and the students know it'll never be as good as them.

i go to ucl and id rate it very low too it's loads of things, it's the price of London, price of rent, there were 24 000 students here 8 years ago now there's 35 000 and theyre mostly internationals being robbed of stupid amounts a year by UCL. Tutors have no time for you, they usually don't reply to your emails or give you the time of day, the student body is filled with mainly Oxford rejects who are out to prove themselves so everyone keeps to themselves, honestly there's no student cohesion. Being in London, we're all so far apart, it's not like being in a small city like Bristol or Durham and if you wanna go out in London you'll average £30 on just an average night, so we really don't have too much fun. I was so happy when i got into UCL because of it's prestige and reputation, but in retrospect, Bristol might have been better.
