please reconsider going to kings. its horrible overrated uni the disability support is hopeless the accommodation team are just using chatgpt responses and arent giving me a suitable room and the admissions arent giving my £500 deposit back 😭

I wish people would realise and cancel and so that either they close the uni or they finally realise that nobody is joining and they fix themselves...

A*A*A* prediction

My super-curriculars were a couple passion projects I had from python, some lectures I went to for kcl imperial and Oxford and Cambridge and books I read like the sentient machine

well, it's the same at lse and imperial and ucl to a small extent, ucl; all top universities and especially the top universities in london are like this still. you wished you went to qmul or somewhere away from london then? or wait did you/do you go to king's btw? you could always transfer but if you've graduated already then I feel you. but if you were wishing for a better uni like lse oxbridge it is much worse there, lol
edit: wait I see that you've been commenting the same thing on other posts and threads; is it really that peak tho lol. were you just rejected by them or smth and you're takin it out on king's😭😭😭 or are you acc there rn

Im just trying to bring awareness that kings is just a overrated name and hope that people stop applying so they either go bust and close down or that they realise their mistakes and sort themselves out...

One of my brother friends turned down kings for nottingham i think it was, saying "medicine is medicine"

im a 2021 graduate, for jobs and intern, do leetcode from the very begining, find your career path as early as possible, participate in open contests whenever you had the chance. if you want to do ai later on, and further into the master or doctor degree, appear more often in the professor's office hour and ask meaningful questions, get good grades and apply for TA if you can, learn to read academic papers and understand the math behind it. btw, learn linear algebra cause they weirly don't teach you those.

also, intern is a very good way of finding out what you wanna do in the future and you could have a glance of what the industry is doing
