Social aspect - UC without doubt. There aren't any girls at Imperial.

UC is much funner and is one of the best and most exciting universities in the world.

Imperial is an Oompa Loompa training college.

Looool Im most likely going to firm UCL, I don't like the sound of Imperial's social life and male:female ratio

Which university is better for computer science? the actual course and the social aspect of it.

Imperial>UCL; Imperial is the best in the country for Computer Science and has worldwide recognition for the course. Forget UCL, it's overrated.

No but I have a conditional offer from Imperial and an unconditional offer from UCL. I don't like UCL.

You're crazy if you think I will pick UCL over Imperial!! Imperial beats UCL in every course they have in common. Imperial is the science powerhouse in the UK.

I don't like the fact that they accept non-academics as well. They give offers to some students as if it's a joke that's why I don't take them seriously.

I'm pretty sure there's no contest, Imperial is far better than UCL is every aspect, you can have fun at Imperial too...people saying otherwise are just salty UCL students.

Imperial is world class, UCL isn't.

LOL you seem confident about getting your grades to get into Imperial then I guess. And now I just feel dumb for getting an offer from UCL after how you put it. So what are your predicted grades and entry requirements for Imperial?

I've heard from actual Imperial students that although Imperial is excellent academically there social life was non-existent.

I've already done my GCE A levels. I got A*A*A in Maths, Chemistry and Biology respectively. B for AS Psychology. My offer from Imperial is conditional because I don't have B for English. I need to pass the IELTS to get into Imperial. If I can't then I will go UCL.

I get that but that's because Imperial students are all out nerds, London is London, your social life depends on you not your university. Don't sacrifice a better education for the perceived notions of under achieving salty UCL students.

5 boys to every girl on some Eng courses.

2:1 generally.

Just sayin'

Every night is super fun happy times at UCL. Sportsnight is legendary.

Good luck at Imperial Airsoft club or Warhammer Society. In fairness, ICL is the perfect preparation for life in engineering. You spend all day with your computer friends whilst the people who read Ancient History go out and get bombed with the girls. Can't put a price on that.
