So who is the best? UCL or King's? I have always been under the impression that it is UCL but freely admit I may be wrong.

I think with law it is more debateable as to whether Kings or UCL is better. Kings has got an exceptionally good law department (and is much larger than UCL's), and is much better than the overall reputation of Kings would suggest.

I don't think Kingslaw was completely stupid to turn down UCL to go to Kings. :wink:

And Zip it123, I think Kings has a far better dentistry department, seeing as UCL doesn't have one ... :cool:

Nerrr...personal choice. I have NEVER said that King's is better than UCL for Law. :smile:

The only opinions I care about are those of employers, and my own. With the former there is no ascertainable difference. The latter, well, you can guess...

King's has a much bigger Law School, which I prefer (almost twice as big, but thats mainly due to King's being cr*p at giving offers out). That can only serve to make extra-curricular activities of greater interest.

The size of UCL's department is hardly limiting the opportunities available to students, and if anything many med students at UCL find the department simply *too* large to get involved in extracurriculars.

I think both unis are very good but overall a UCL graduate will have better chances than a King's grad (outside of the legal profession). Within the legal profession the difference is tiny, but obviously not all law grads want to be lawyers!

But you have to see yourself as being in the minority of those who have rejected UCL for King's. I would be fairly shocked if someone got into UCL but not into King's.

Plenty of international students (that I've met) have rejected UCL for Kings.

Oh, and we're talking about Law, not Medicine :wink:

I know- but UCL lets in over 300 med students making it roughly the size of King's Law department [I imagine].

And even you have to admit- few people have presented them with a UCL offer and a King's rejection on these boards.... but loads have the other way round.

So? I stated my priorities in a previous post. They're pretty logical arguements. Anyone who chooses undergraduate trends over employment market trends is pretty crazy. Plus undergraduate trends shift frequently (for example, in 1997 when King's was third in the Times league tables for Law, the situation was exactly the opposite).

UCL Law can be a bit cliquey, but being in a smaller intake has so many advantages. And as for extra-curriculars, you only need to look at our Freshers Fortnight package to see what rubbish that is!
