Just want to say that most of Imperial's medics are not the typical 'science loving geeks' that you find more widely in the other depts at IC. In fact drinking until you vomit is the height of medic social interaction. Of course you can hang out with non-medics but then they all go and graduate.
Just so that you don't get a shock if you pick IC for September... Also I'm sure Manchester will have a better union than us, we have one grotty bar, but (in ICSMSU's defence) a good number of medics sports teams/clubs and socs (for now, but BUCS threatens the sporting teams)
Also from what I know of learning languages at Imperial you have to pay for courses (not cheap at all). The only medical exchange programme offered is a handful of places to Tokyo although the rest of IC has plenty of other exchange unis, most notably Aachen for Germany.
