    Univesity College Falmouth - Friendly?
    Hello..
    so I am quite sure that I will be starting my course this Sep and jus wondering if the University College Falmouth is a friendly place to be in?.. I am not a British and new to Cornwall (been living in Lincoln for 5 yrs tho) I am not sure if I could fit in well. I read it on the Internet that most of the people living in Cornwall are White British and only 2-3% are other races. so How is the population in uni like? very multicultural? or not at all? Much International students? I got bullied quite badly back in High school because I look different and I dont want to suffer the same **** again..

    would appreciate if everyone could just leave some comments below

    cheers xx

    It isn't hugely multicultural - definitely not as much as a big city like Birmingham or Manchester - but there are a few international students etc. I have yet to see any bullying occur because of race at uni... I'd like to think that most students are intellectually superior to any sort of racism. In Glasney Parc accommodation, there is a section for international and mature students, to offer some support for those who feel potentially out of their depth or want some sense of home.

    Hope this helps
