Intense, world class, and demanding.
Tips: Before joining students should know that this college is academically intense fast-paced and highly competitive. You need strong time management, self-discipline and comfort with ambiguity. There's a little hand-holding. The workload can feel overwhelming if you come in expecting a relaxed or overly social academic culture. The transition was challenging but manageable. Academically expectations were much higher than in my previous education. Culturally, the shift was real. Classrooms are diverse, discussions are direct and independence is assumed. Living in London also requires adjusting to high cost, a fast routine and a very individualistic lifestyle. I did not avail of a scholarship. Scholarships here are limited, highly competitive and often merit-based or need-based. Allowances, when available, usually cover partial tuition or fixed grants rather than full living expenses, so financial planning is critical. Satisfaction is high with the university and course due to global reputation, faculty quality and exposure. The country offers strong career opportunities but the cost of living and pressure can reduce day to day comfort. This experience plays off long-term but it's not an easy ride. Research course structure deeply before accepting. Budget realistically for London. Build academic and professional resilience early.

Diverse and helpful faculty.
Tips: It is a cultural shift from India for sure. Because here, we are not just in one of the most competitive colleges in the world, you are also cooking, travelling, cleaning etc. Basically, cut your time from that. I did not get any scholarships, but I am very satisfied with Imperial.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are very approachable; they have office hours and then you can email them wherever. The teaching method is very much a discussion, in class activities and discussions. The teaching faculty is very diverse, although I see a lot of American faculty members in my course, though.
Dislikes (Student Life): I spend my day between meetings with my syndicate group. Which is generally a group of 3-5 people from different countries. And projects most of the time. I enjoy the variety of food, infrastructure and library here. Events are networking with a lot of societies, etc.

Exhilarating learning experience.
Tips: It will be a very extensive academic experience with fast paced learning and skill development initiatives. This approach is often best to get us ready for the corporate world after we graduate. I'd say it teaches a lot about balancing things and prioritising what's important.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty was world class including international lawyers global leaders as guest lecturers, as well as highly experienced professors with intensive academic experience. Truly a wonderful experience interacting and working with them on various projects and endeavours.
Dislikes (Safety): A lot of stabbing and mobile snatching incidents happened around my accommodation and university, which led me to rate 3 on safety. I had heard many of my friends mention certain areas and times when I shouldn't be out, and one of them even got robbed in an alleyway.

Challenging but worth it.
Tips: Be prepared to struggle. It's not all rosy as it seems on social media. Diverse backgrounds - you will not always see eye to eye. There will be a great deal of personality development and you will learn life skills. New people, new cultures and new environments.
Likes (Public transportation): London Metro although expensive is really well connected. Quite safe depending on where you live but if you live anywhere in zone 1 and zone 2 should be alright. Even the bus system is easy to navigate and is much more cost effective as compared to train.
Dislikes (Internships): Unlike India where we have placement cells, in the UK, we have a career cell that helps with applications but doesn't have a set network that is open to internships. It's all about networking there. Even the internship Module students had to find themselves.

Student life at Imperial is commendable.
Tips: I have definitely gained a lot of business knowledge, become a better professional and learnt a very good set of soft skills. There was a very high cultural shift but it only teaches you to be more inclusive and feel belong. I applied in the last round, so I couldn't avail any scholarships. I am highly satisfied with the education that I received and the brand recognition that Imperial has. This course really made me a skilled individual in the market. That being said, getting a job is completely dependent on the student and their profile and has nothing at all to do with the college.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at Imperial is commendable. There are so many study rooms with whiteboards, projectors, etc. In business school specifically for IBS Master's students. You will have privacy while studying. Also, faculty quality is great. You will have ample opportunities to showcase your collaborative skills and improve your soft skills. All your lectures, assignments, and notes will be available online for easy reference. A 5-storied building for a library, where you will definitely find the academic related book you are searching for. Group work helps you get the best businesswoman out of yourself. Some assignments of core subjects really make you feel like you own a business and are making decisions for it, which also teaches you accountability. Quality education and absolutely worth your money if you are concerned only about education.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is very tough to crack. And college brand name matters but really less. If you don't have work experience, it is almost impossible to crack a skilled and relevant job. You have to compromise with an assistant or below level or sales job. But proper planning and rightful execution might land you a job of your dreams (very rare).

High pressure but high reward.
Tips: Students must know that Imperial is more rigorous and hectic than compared to any UK university, including Cambridge and Oxford. The education system is very different from India. Imperial is much more practical, competitive and requires actual hard work. If you are not ready for a rigorous life and prefer a chill and party life, maybe choose UCL or other less competitive universities. Depends on courses as well; management courses like MIM have a more chill schedule compared to more technical STEM courses.
Likes (Quality of faculty): My professors are world famous scientists and economists. They are best in their field and often even work with the UN, the Government and big companies. I have never seen so many great professors in my life. The education is even better than I expected.
Dislikes (Part time work): Doing part-time with the Imperial schedule is next to impossible. We have classes every day, sometimes till 7 PM as well. Only people who can do part-time work while at Imperial are MIM students, as their course is less challenging. Compared to other UK universities, which only have classes twice a week, we have classes every day and sometimes events on weekends as well.

I've seen this kind of Imperial vs Oxford question come up a lot, and I think the confusion is understandable. On paper, both look exceptional, so it's tempting to search for a single “better” answer. In reality, that framing usually causes more stress than clarity.
