    What's good people. So hmm yh, I'm feeling nice at the moment so I decided to come back to TSR and help answer questions of those who are interesting in applying to SOAS, or just anything SOAS related brah. Feel privileged. I didn't had such opportunity back in my time(a year ago lololololol).

    What percentage of the SOAS body conforms to the hippy stereotype?

    Surprisingly, not as high as you would think. There are a few hippies ofc, walking around playing bongos and stuff, but you would have to go to the music department and pray to find them.

    I've met some hardcore right wingers at SOAS, and I've just only finished my 1st term.

    Nothing. There are loads of Israelis/Half Israelis at SOAS, especially exchange students, and some of them say proudly where they are from, what they are, etc. You might hear a few comments antagonising Israel in debates and tings, but its not like they will attack you or try to occupy your room and sing Kumbaya for you taking pride in your country.

    Are you supposed to pronounce the acronym or simply say the letters? If so, how you pronounce SOAS?

    Mine is like SOH-ASS.

    I hate hippies and I'm indifferent to social/political issues in 3rd world countries.

    Will I fit in at SOAS?
