    UCL is one of my ideal university to study in. At least I came and entered. There are lots of institutes and this place is just one of its main buildings.

    Outpatients clinic on the edge of Euston road and northern tip of Tottenham Court Road. I was there for l yr check on my hip replacement: X rays and senior registrar chat. No warning in the letter about stripping into hospital gown...one that was broken. I put it on as best as l could then was sent back to put a different one on. Embarrassed and confused by why technician had so many problems getting me into correct position. Almost late for Podium clinic which was very crowded running behind. I lady had 2 he wait before being seen. No where l felt safe to sit where l could hear my name called. I then was harassed .. nay verbally abused by another patient for his perception of my repeated statement that l had to leave for work at 1. ( appointment 11. 10). Actually trying to get receptionist to agree to take my clinical trial survey in case l couldn't be seen by l pm. Everyone watched this abuse which reduced me to tears behind the clinic wall. No clinic staff asked the man to step away from me, calm down. Only a passing person from another area helped me. Despite this l appreciate how hard it is to keep this building moving through its normal schedule. Staff trying their very best to get their jobs done. The mood definitely feels different to last year. A real sense of weariness pervades. Advise visitors to bring their own sanitising gel as some dispensers on desks are not push down operation.Bring water/ drinks too to anticipate long waits for appointments. Signage is reasonable to follow in corridors though the way lifts operate less obvious. Be prepared to go in opposite direction occasionally just to press button for your floor. Better than climbing stairs if you're tired. My photos are mostly of lower floor X ray area.

    Came here for the first time and was really impressed by the way the whole place was run. There was lots of signage to make it easy to find your way. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There some amazing volunteers who help the place to run smoothly. The place was also lovely and clean.

    It's a great college. I have joined a summer camp at University College of London. All the things happen here are great. The location of school are nice. A hospital is just across the street. And we only need to take three minutes to walk to underground station and train station. The ranking of the school is very high.

    University College London, officially known as UCL since 2005,[7][8][9] is a major public research university located in London, England. It is a member institution of the federal University of London, and is the largest university in the United Kingdom by total enrolment apart from the Open University,[5] and the largest by postgraduate enrolment.Established in 1826, as London University by founders inspired by the radical ideas of Jeremy Bentham, UCL was the first university institution to be established in London, and the first in England to be entirely secular and to admit students regardless of their religion.[10][11] UCL also makes contested claims to being the third-oldest university in England[note 1] and the first to admit women.[note 2] In 1836 UCL became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London, which was granted a royal charter in the same year. It has grown through mergers, including with the Institute of Ophthalmology (in 1995), the Institute of Neurology (in 1997), the Royal Free Hospital Medical School (in 1998), the Eastman Dental Institute (in 1999), the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (in 1999), the School of Pharmacy (in 2012) and the Institute of Education (in 2014). UCL has its main campus in the Bloomsbury area of central London, with a number of institutes and teaching hospitals elsewhere in central London and satellite campuses in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London and in Doha, Qatar. UCL is organised into 11 constituent faculties, within which there are over 100 departments, institutes and research centres. UCL operates several museums and collections in a wide range of fields, including the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, and administers the annual Orwell Prize in political writing. In 2017/18, UCL had around 41,500 students and 15,100 staff (including around 7,100 academic staff and 840 professors) and had a total group income of £1.45 billion, of which £476.3 million was from research grants and contracts.[2] UCL is a member of numerous academic organisations, including the Russell Group and the League of European Research Universities, and is part of UCL Partners, the world's largest academic health science centre,[12] and the "golden triangle" of elite, research-intensive English universities.[13] UCL alumni include the respective "Fathers of the Nation" of India, Kenya and Mauritius, the founders of Ghana, modern Japan and Nigeria, the inventor of the telephone, and one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA. UCL academics discovered five of the naturally occurring noble gases, discovered hormones, invented the vacuum tube, and made several foundational advances in modern statistics. As of 2020, 34 Nobel Prize winners and 3 Fields medalists have been affiliated with UCL as alumni, faculty or researchers.

    Do not study here!! The cost you will pay for your health is much higher than the cost of education. No heating anywhere, all classes are old as well, very dirty toilets in every building. Help desk is useless, they could not even buy heater for library and my classmates ended up by wearing jackets in classes and then all had bronchitis!!!

    First of all, I love my uni, it is a five stars. Secondly, free feel to drop by and come and visit the Auto-Icon of Jeremy Bentham. He is such a great person in history. He made a LOT of CHANGES.

    Staff in this hospital is really kind and helpful. As much as I don't like going to hospitals (who does?) I'm glad I was referred to this hospital for treatment (FAI surgery)

    Gorgeous university, we went to visit the ceramic of Jeremy Bentham in their library as he was the father of utilitarianism. One interesting fact, is that he as part of his testament, wanted to be present in skeleton (but it’s covered on wax).

    The services provided are excellent. A car with a chauffeur was arranged to pick me up from home and for the return to making sure a vehicle was available to drive me back home after the treatment. The nurses and Doctors made sure that I was comfortable at all times. The services offered were excellent and I was made reassured all the way. Really, this gave me great confidence in them felt in good hands.

    A very good university. Being in London certainly makes it difficult to have a super large campus, but it gives you pretty much all you need as a Uni student. Student centre is perfect for all activities: solo, duo, group study or meeting. Just sit and chill is also fine. Connected to garden and main campus gives a intergrated experience of life, learn and revise. Majority of academic and staff are nice and helpful, willing to give show you light of latest area in science. Only issue is expensive: living cost, tuition fee, traveling and staying in London etc. But UCL should not take all of the blame.

    The hospital is great. Adults a and e is good and you are seen fairly quickly, if you really are unwell you are seen immediately. You have to wait a lot longer to be seen in childrens a and e. My Daughter Was there for her ankle to be checked for 8 and a half hours. She had an xray where they decided to do a half cast to position her foot to get a better xray. After the cast, orthopaedics looked at it and decided it wasn't right so had to take it off and redo the cast. They are definitely very thorough and friendly staff. The children's a and e even had a phone charging machine which was brilliant.

    I was admitted to the UCLH for surgery that I have waited a long time for. All I can say is how fantastic ALL the staff were. From Surgeon to security. My special heartfelt thanks to the Nurses. Especially Neva who went above and beyond her duties. Thank you so much 💓

    The Doctors and all the team are great, very understanding, polite, professional and friendly. Please be aware that although there are written specifications about waiting times, this is only as a reference. As we all know there are shortages on staff and people that is working there are doing the best they can with the things they have. Just take into account that you could be waiting longer time than expected, they've got water to drink, toilettes, etc. But you can always bring a little snack, a magazine, books, etc. to keep you entertained.

    Simply the BEST hospital ever!!!! For someone who is petrified and worse fear are needles, they will work with you and TRY EVERYTHING to ensure its done. Foods decent, clean hospital and they deal with 100% honesty and respect. They have amazing numbing agents such as sprays and gels and if you're lucky can potentially sedate you on personal request, which I had. I fell asleep and woke up and was pleasantly surprised it was done

    Professor Irene Peterson is literally insulting people who are disabled or have Long COVID on social media. A few lawyers maybe working to fix this problem 🧐

    Respectful staff, friendly people, and amazing facilities so far. Won't say I like coming back, but UCLH would always be my first and foremost choice if I need medical attentions. Thank you again, for all the effort in making me get better.

    The Macmillan Centre 🤗♥️. I've been there a good many times on business - and the privilege and pleasure never subsides. 🤗 These Ladies and Gentlemen are truly magnificent human beings who give their expertise to people who may often be in their darkest hours. My admiration for every single one of the staff at UCH Macmillan Centre - whether it be the Senior Surgeon or the 'Tea Lady' - is as strong today as it's ever been. ♥️ On behalf of myself and countless patients ... Thank You All At Macmillan Centre. 🤗

    Brilliant students. Really disappointed with the unfair research funding system. Treat international students like cash cows. They charge 5x from international students and don't allow them to apply for most scholarships. Professors are knowledgeable and renowned researchers. However they tend to hire and fund students who are like themselves (affinity bias). Interaction with staff discouraging - one teacher laughed at an international POC student's question and their body language and boredom showed that they had assumed the student to be dumb. They encourage discussion with students from their own kind. Low expectations from students from the global South and tell them to try for lesser institutions for scholarships. Do not provide the same opportunities to home and international students (who contribute a large portion of their departmental funding). Ineffective EDI initiatives and hardly any POC as authority figures. International students deserve better.
