Written by Chet Raj BhandariWhat if your classroom was just minutes away from Big Ben, the London Eye, and some of the world’s most influential businesses and hospitals?
That’s everyday life at King’s College London (KCL).
For Nepali students, King’s is not just another university — it’s a central London experience that combines world-class education with real-world impact.
At Goreto Educational Consultancy, the best educational consultancy in Nepal, we’ve helped hundreds of students find their path to King’s.
From courses like medicine and business to law, politics, and computer science, this university has something meaningful for almost every student.
Location that puts you in the action
King’s campuses are right in central London. That means your “campus life” stretches to the UK Parliament, global law firms, embassies, and tech companies nearby.
For Nepali students, this means your classroom isn’t just four walls — it’s the city itself.
A global network of students and employers
With students from 150+ countries and partnerships with employers like Google, NHS, BBC, and the UK Government, King’s gives you a truly international edge.
You’ll build a network that’s useful anywhere in the world.
Turning learning into action
King’s has a reputation for solving real-world problems — from public health challenges to climate change.
As a student, you’ll be encouraged to apply knowledge, not just learn it.
Career-focused outcomes
Whether you’re studying medicine or management, you’ll find career services, placement years, and employers waiting for graduates from King’s. Many Nepali students use this as a direct springboard into UK jobs.

Finding the right place to live in London is always one of the biggest concerns for Nepali families.
The good news is that King’s guarantees accommodation for first-year undergraduates and offers several safe, well-managed options for postgraduates too.
Beyond university halls, many students also explore private housing across London.
Here are the main choices:
King’s Residences (University Halls)
These are managed directly by King’s and are popular with first-year students.
They’re fully furnished, include internet, and often come with common spaces where you can meet other international students.
Intercollegiate Halls (University of London)
Shared halls with students from other London universities.
They’re centrally located and often include meals, making them a convenient option for new students.
Private Shared Flats
Many Nepali students choose this option after their first year.
It’s more independent and often cheaper if you share with friends.
Areas like Stratford, Wembley, or East Ham are popular among South Asian students for affordability.
Homestays
Some students prefer staying with British families in the first year.
This helps with cultural adjustment and can be a supportive environment, though less common.
Goreto can help you compare costs, apply for King’s residences, and even connect with other Nepali students to find flatmates.
| Housing Type | Cost (GBP/month) | Approx. NPR/month |
|---|---|---|
| King’s Halls | £750–£1,200 | NPR 127,500–204,000 |
| Intercollegiate Halls | £800–£1,100 | NPR 136,000–187,000 |
| Private Shared Flat | £650–£900 | NPR 110,500–153,000 |
| Homestay | £600–£850 | NPR 102,000–149,000 |
Exchange rate: £1 ≈ NPR 170.
