Which UK Universities have the majority of Pakistani, Indian and Bengali people?

Hi! I was just wondering which universities (in the UK) have the most Pakistani, Indian and Bengali people and that too with the lowest amount of white people?

Do universities like University College London, Kings College London and Bristol have lots of Pakistanis/Indians/Bengalis?

I'm only asking because I've never seemed to make many white friends at my previous schools (where the majority of people were white) and now I want to go to a uni where I can actually talk to people, make friends and fit in!! There's nothing wrong with lots of white people but I do feel a bit excluded, mainly because i can't exactly go to many parties, drink etc..

St George's UOL
Queen Mary has a lot, though I can't say for certain if it's the highest.

However, most unis will have significant numbers of Asians, and you'll be able to meet them though relevant societies (e.g. Islamic Soc, Indian Soc) and socialise that way.

I can't help but wonder how an equivalent post by a white person would be perceived...

Anywhere up north and if a white person said this the UAF would be invading the TSR tonight.

I'm fairly sure there are no universities in the UK where the majority of people are Subcontinental.

In the same way that there are no universities in Scandinavia where the majority of students/lecturers/support staff are say, Spaniards or Italianos.

I usually found that sport was a great way to fit in since people of all races tend to play - e.g. if I chose to go on a cycling tour from say, London to Brighton, no reason why black men, white men and oriental men can't join me.

I was thinking the same thing @origami bullets, this post will definitely raise some eyebrows. I'm sure most universities are multicultural nowadays anyway.

Are they full of nouveau riche Europeans who look down on those with less money too? (I've heard this from friends/relatives at London unis)

I'm at Uni of Bristol. There are a fair few doing Dentistry/Medicine but not many in other areas. Although being part of the Asian society helps quite a bit to mingle with them since everyone wants to find other asians when they come here from London or Birmingham :biggrin:

Yup, you have a large portion of those who were privately educated and from upper class backgrounds. However only a tiny minority are that ignorant to look down on others. Most are well adjusted and decent human beings.
