Sounds good. Do you mind me asking where you moved from? :p:

Well, I used to live in Netherlands, and moved here 3 years ago. I wanted to go to somalia in my upcoming gap year, but the whole ethiopians vs somali thing is putting me off.

I didn't 'move' technically...I'm only here for uni but I live in the Arabian Gulf. Going home this Easter I hope, InshAllah...

I wouldn't know :p:

I hope missfizzy could answer that :smile:

But I do assume we are "well represented" because its a university, not high-school :p:

There is so far one person that might be a Somali (actually most likely is...it's the curse/blessing...you can always tell).

Aside from that, I have yet to see another Somali on campus.

I've met quite a few Somali sisters studying Sciences and the like but they were all from UCL or QM (ISOC sisters meetings lol). I know City and SOAS have a massive Somali population (have 2 cousins going there and they've told me.)
