The TSR Tamil Society

I just thought there ought to be one.

All Tamils are welcome

Have a look at this: http://wikitravel.org/en/Tamil_phrasebook

Do well in my degree, get a lot out of the subject and extra curricular (societies, football, try new stuff) and have a great time. I think kings offers the most for my degree (politics) as there's loads of talks lectures in London held in kings, ucl lse with interesting guest speakers. But i hear that a fair amount of London student go home/relatives house for the weekend? Not sure how true this is but it puts me off as it takes away from the social aspect, and Manchester is supposed to have a great social reputation.

Haahhaa my brother and I used to joke about how Tamil sounds like shuffling pebbles in something hollow like a can.

Provided you get accommodation, you don't necessarily need to go back home every weekend. Just every once in a while.

I guess you just have to look around a tad harder but there is a social scene in London. The issue is that the demographic in London tend to be more of a study hard Asian type compared to Manchester. Didn't mean to cause any offence.

Yeah I wouldnt want to go home every weekend but if others do that its a bit of a drag, whereas in Manchester there is presumably less of that n ppl stick together?

Lol I see what you mean sort of. I really dont know. Kings has loads of Tamils which would be cool, seeing as I havent experienced being with loads of tamils since primary school. Is it a good idea to go be in a compact student city for uni like Manchester as opposed to a massive city like London where you're surrounded by professionals who stop it from being a student city?

No-one's not going to be your friend, if you go and visit your folks once every three weeks. Plus most people wherever they study actually do go home. In my house they go back once every 4/5 weeks.

And it doesn't matter whether you're surrounded by professionals. They keep to themselves, you keep to students.

People go on about places like Manchester being student cities. IS going to a student city a worthwhile experience? What even makes up the student city experience?! Literally spoilt for choice..!

I have no idea what makes up a students city. There are only about 20000 students in the city of York.

Only? Lool that's a fair amount

Manc. Met + UOM have about 75000 students combined.

Firmed kings. Feels good not fretting about what to choose anymore. Thanks for information. It's acc so hard choosing which uni to go to! So many factors.

I know right. I had to firmed Manchester and insured York and wanted to change within a week as I liked York better but UCAS refused. Luckily I flopped my A-levels and got into York.

I think you made the right choice.
