uni reviews - choices

Hey everyone,
I got 4/5 offers to kingston, ual, and roehampton. I’m thinking about choosing between kingston (two offers) and ual, but whenever I look at their location through google maps, I get drawn into looking at the reviews and always get shocked at how BAD they are. I don’t know if this is a pattern with all universities, or if kingston and ual are just generally horrible and i’m making a terrible mistake. my Kingston courses are Graphic Design and also Interaction Design (new course), and UAL - User Experience Design. I guess the point of this post is to find out if these bad reviews are genuine? what do you think about these unis and the lecturers, courses, etc. ?
Don't take reviews and comments from the internet too easily, check whether the comments were substantiated by facts or just hearsays. Every uni has its own goods and bads.

The courses you've chosen require significant teacher-support and feedback. So teacher-student ratio may be critical.

Hey @Kwendigo,

It's great to hear you're considering studying at Kingston University, and a big congratulations on your offers for BA (Hons) Interaction Design and BA (Hons) Graphic Design!

I'm currently a final year student at Kingston School of Art, studying BA (Hons) Fine Art and Art History; next year, I intend to stay on as a postgraduate at Kingston to study MSc User Experience Design. If you have any questions about KSA, student life or Kingston University in general, feel free to ask. 🙂

Once again - well done on your offers!
Eve (Kingston Rep).
