I don't have a degree from Imperial; but I do have PhD students who studied there (albeit not that course, I'm an experimentalist) and I visit Imperial (in Kensington) quite frequently.
It is one of the leading universities in the UK (and the world) with a very strong reputation when it comes to theoretical physics.
Like any university it has pros and cons; it wouldn't be my first choice if you prefer to study/live near a campus in a small town, but if you like central London and can find somewhere nice(ish) to live it is ideal.

What are your other options?

My options regard universities from the EU and Canada. however, Imperial is one of my best option according to QS and Shangai Rankings along with some others. I understand that whatever option hides a risk.

keeping that in mind, I tend to accept the offer.

The reason why, I posted this thread is to know what I should expect from my life at London at Imperial. Any detail the internet does not say

I calculate to spend aproximately 900-1000 pounds a moth for living costs (600-700 for rent and 300 for food). Are my caluclations correct ?
