Nationalities at KCL

What nationalities do you find at KCL? I'm guessing as well as a lot of British you find a lot of international students as well. Are there a lot of Americans there? What about Australians? Thanks :smile:

Alllll sorts. Loads. Lots of Americans, cos there is a flourishing exchange student programme.

OP

Cool, thanks :smile:

The big majority of Americans are on JYA (Junior Year Abroad) programs, or even semester abroad programs. There are not many American undergraduates on full degree programs. As for those spending a semester abroad, blink and you'll miss them. :smile:

Otherwise, there are students from all over the world.

^ Ah right, thanks. Yeah I can imagine that most Americans at least are simply on their year abroad. I can also imagine a lot of Americans wanting to come to London, too.

(How come you're either in London or NYC? :smile:

I'm from northern NJ- NYC at a stretch- and I'm doing a BA at KCL.

^ Cool

I guess so, but it's expensive, plus I get homesick sometimes.

There's lots of Asian students, particularly at Guy's, which is a bit of a culture shock if you don't come from a multicultural area - where I live it's a mostly white area, so it's very strange to be at university and be in the minority, it's just quite different.

Depends on the department. Law is more English, European and North American. Guys campus is very Indian because of the popularity of medicine and dentistry amongst Indians. Engineering, computer science etc is popular amongst Asians (Chinese & Indians). I woud suspect War Studies has a large American population! All in all, King's is about as multicultural as a university can get!
