Which London Uni?

Hi, I am sending off my ucas application next week and I have one spot left.
I have never really thought about going to uni in London until now because I am a devonshire girl born and bred. However now I am thinking about it because I get so bored with rural life and just want a change.

But as i havent researched the london unis I dont know which one to choose.

I want to do german and spanish ab initio and I am predicted AAB.
Are any of the london unis campus unis?? I like campus unis a lot. I would also like one with a good community feel to it.

Any help is appreciated. thanks :smile:

UCL is out of the question, you need A Level Spanish to be able to do it there, which is a shame because UCL is very good for languages; Kings is the same too unfortunately.
Royal Holloway is your best choice considering you don't have A Level Spanish. It's excellent for languages and I'm pretty sure they don't need you to have an A Level in Spanish (although you might want to check that out), plus it's got a really nice campus (it's not actually in London though, it's nearby in Surrey).

Royal Holloway isn't in London, it's in Surrey. If you're looking for Urban that won't help, nice place as it is.

I'll recommend King's. But then I am biased ;-)

I did actually say it wasn't in London.
And King's, nice place as it is, won't let her in without an A Level in Spanish according to http://www.kcl.ac.uk/ugp08/programme/178

Try reading the thread :rolleyes:

London Met

Queen Mary does German and Hispanic Studies, and is a campus university located close-ish to the centre of London. You don't have to have had any Spanish experiance and can study different 'Hispanic' languages e.g. Catalan.

I wouldn't recommend Egham if you are fed up of rural. It's not a bustling metropolis!

Don't know what I did wrong there, I was quoting someone else. You must excuse me I'm new here and still learning.

By the way I think Royal Holloway is a lovely campus but just think it doesn't sound like its in the right place for what you are looking for.
