I don't know about Law specifically but UCL has a better overall rep.

From your sig it looks like you haven't heard from UCL yet, so I'd wait until you do before you decide.

I think Kings has the better course, their optional module seem much more interesting.

UCL campus is much less spread out though.

You're applying for Hispanic Law alongside Law at UCL... so if you get accepted there, then decide whether you'd prefer to do that or just Law on its own.

Hey, i went to the open day!!! the uni seems really good!! and its gorgeous, the library is massive, and the campus is really central to everything, (especially all the law courts). They have like abillion societies you can join whatever you like. And in the main buiding itself theres a chapel (for the choir) bank, medical centre, bookshop, two bars etc. It was really cool!!

My friend has the same dilemma too, and I think right now she's going to go for KCL, because it seems to have a warmer and friendlier environment, and it's well-located next to the courts or something... I think I may pick KCL too, if I had applied and got an offer (but I didn't do sufficient research before applying, so I wasn't even aware of its existence *slap*).

Not quite sure that the fact that it is close(er) to the Royal Courts of Justice than UCL is of any relevance really. It's not like KCL students are always going in there!

That said very good law school at KCL, and if(!) it moves into Somerset House looks as thought it will be amazing (although that won't be happening for a while, if at all, but still).

As if law students spend their time going to the courts :p:

Edit: Argh, Wisden14 beat me to it.

Kings is sooo near to the Inner and Middle Temples too, which are really nice to go around. If you want to be a barrister then you will be walking around then in absolute awe like I did, especially if you can go there with a barrister, then you can dine there and look around the inside of the Inns, which is just amazing. Although saying that, I don't think UCL is that far from KCL, but I'm not sure.

KCL all the way for me though. That has been my 1st choice (after Oxford rejection) so I would say Kings.

Walk around the Inns?!

Well on that argument UCL is nearer to Gray's which has the nicest gardens (or Walks as Gray's call them!) of the lot!

Seriously if that is a reason to choose a Uni, well.... And also not much of a chance to go walking around the Inns in the past 6 months, what with the lovely weather we've been having!

Do not be so foolish as to choose King's over UC purely on the basis of proximity to Inns. What is a 15 minute walk in the grand scheme of 3 years worth of acadmia and social life?
