I know KCL is a great university, when i visited it the first time I loved it.. i just have so many people around me telling me things like 'I would hate to go to London' all the time and its beginning to affect me a bit unfortunately :L I've heard things like how london has quite a lonely feel.. I guess I'm just worried about fitting in, and whether I'm doing the right thing going to a London Uni and whether I'm doing the right course etc.. could just be pre-uni nerves.. ><


Imo there's no better city to go to university in. I had the same preconceptions as you the first time I visited London, but I found them completely unfounded; other than people being particularly opposed to starting a conversation on the underground, London is as gregarious a city as I've ever been to.

You'll be surrounded by thousands of like minded individuals at KCL, so I wouldn't worry about being lonely. London is the centre of the universe as far as I'm concerned, and alongside your new peers you're getting a chance to explore the myriad of things it has to offer; you should be trying to stifle excitement, not trepidation! :smile:

Did you feel that you missed out on the 'campus feel' aspect of uni? That's all I'm really worried about in London :s

Thankyou so much all of you :smile: you've no idea how much it's boosted my confidence about going to Uni in London :smile: I'm sure it is all just pre-uni nerves with it being such a massive step and all :smile:

Based on what I've heard, it depends on the competition for your course, your offer requirements, and how everyone else does (if a lot of people don't make their marks, then maybe you'll get on even if you don't make the mark, and etc.) Personally, I hope that they're pretty easy-going as I need a 38 IB, which is nearly impossible! What course are you going for?
