Hey Carley!

I'm currently in the 2nd year of Pharmacy at Kingston, my personal opinion is that Kingston is quite a diverse university and the Pharmacy course is very hands on and it does get tough but as long as you're organised with all your lectures then you should be fine!
They also look at the previous years performance and feedback from the pupils and they tweak the course / respond to any concerns that anyone expresses in the module reviews. The lecturers are on hand to answer any questions that you have via email or you can see them in person/via virtual interview so if you ever need help they are there for you.

Kingston in general is a nice area, there's the thames riverside which is a nice place to go and relax at when you are done with work and almost everything in the area pretty much walking-distance.

What accommodation are you looking at? I stayed at 75 Penrhyn Road and I highly recommend it if you're looking for something modern.
