Imperial College

There is a reason this is among the best, if not the best, University in the world. Wonderful, wonderful STEMB program. Notice the «B» included in STEM. In the USA our programs are STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), here the program is STEMB (Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine and Business) and I have to say, they are setting the standard pretty high for the rest of the world to follow.
This is the only UK university to focus entirely on science, engineering, medicine, and business. I have to say, their reputation in excellence is well earned.
Consistently rated in the top 5 – 10 universities in the world, I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of experienceing the phenomenal staff and research happening here. If you are interested in a career in STEM or STEMB … this is the place to be.
Also, they have an amazing public outreach and school program that encourages and engages the imaganiation. I mean… seriously. It’s an entire lab, dedicated to hands on activities to engage young minds and excite them in the wonderful future that a career in STEM has to offer. Well done. Brilliant. Simply Brilliant. Thank you.
If you are in the area or plan to be in the area, and if you have young children contact the Wohl Reach Out Lab and find out if you can tour the facility with staff or find a way to participate. If you are an American undergraduate, Graduate, or Medical Student, find a way to do a semester here. Well worth it and challenging, but worth it! (The Medical School is attached to St. Mary’s Hospital :)

Best college

24 hours Library for people whoneed to study. Perfect place to hang out for bug exams or paperworks…

Here comes bias-​city.
Imperial College is a fantastic place to study, the faculty here are top notch, and the number of societies and amount of activities you can get involved with endless. For a university dedicated to science, technology and medicine, students here are surprisingly gifted in the arts (we’ve got several orchestras and choirs, as well as the main college orchestra which won the competition for the best University Orchestra in 2008) and sports.
Located in South Kensington but with campuses around Hammersmith, Paddington, Chelsea and White City there’s loads of things to do, and easy access to the rest of London for nights out. And the campuses themselves look great. Our union has vastly improved, and is cheap (of course) which makes up for the house prices in London.
And you get to graduate in the Royal Albert Hall. Bonus.
But then, like others here, I would say that!

Of course I’m going to be biased here :-) I graduated from Imperial College. A prestigious university and an enviable location (although expensive) with the Royal Albert Hall, Science & History Museums and Kensington Gardens close by. Had a great time studying in the Physics department and made life-​long friends.

What can I say the best university in the world??? Well i studied here for 6 years, so i am a teeny bit biased, but i dont think any university can beat it for location. right in the centre of london, with hyde park and kensington gardens as your playgrounds! the museums of south ken are brilliant for an afternoon messing skiving lectures– and are free.
If you live in the halls of residence at princes gardens harrods is your local super market (but fear not there is a sainsburys local just opposite incase you dont want to spend ALL your loan on groceries) And the union offers really cheap alcohol– so helping preserve those pennies further :)
The sports facilities are fantastic– a great on site gym/​pool/​basket ball/​squash complex (sadly done up after i left :(, but really snazy now). Rugby/​football/​cricket etc grounds are a bit more of a schlep from campus– but thats to be expected in a city centre uni.
Imperials reputation is 1^st rate, and geeky as it may sound, it really is inspiring to have your teaching delivered by the ‘top names’ in their field. Given the current job market, i am sure having the ‘ic’ name behind you will help.
I studied medicine, so cant really comment on the other faculties– other than to say all my friends who studied engineering/​physics/​maths/​geology/​chemistry etc have done very well in their careers and most had a great time while at uni.
Even though it does have somewhat of an ‘academic’ reputation the sports clubs/​drama groups/​choirs/​orchestras/​and other sociaties are all high achieving and fun. And they seem to cover every interest, no matter how obscure!
All round a great place to study:)

Check out a little hall near the engineering department (i think), as there is a little bouldering wall which makes a great surprise for all of you climbers attending this college.
