London Uni Relationships

I'm not at a London Uni yet but I know that Imperial and UCL are big rivals (Imperial students once stole the stuffed head of a founder of UCL and played football with it, now the head is locked in UCL's vaults lol).

But on a student to student level I don't think it's a big deal because there are many student accomodations shared by students from all the Univerity of London colleges.

I know that LSE and KCL are rivals. There have been some pranks, but I can't remember them, you'd have to ask a current student

EDIT: Oh, Medicene, don't worry, ignore me

That was Kings students, not Imperial. In retaliation we castrated their lion, Reggie. And Jeremy Bentham didn't play much in the founding of UCL, it's just that we keep his mummified body on display in the cloisters.

What about with other subjects? Is their much rivalry between the intercollegiate colleges of the UoL?

It's all just harmless banter. There's a lot of affection between the London medics, but also fierce rivalries on the sports pitch. I think it's one of the great things about having 5 medical schools so close to one another.

The only other rivalries that I know about (and these are far less noticeable) are between UCL and SOAS arts students and UCL, LSE and Kings law.

The more serious rivalries are the ones between GKT & KCL, BL & QM, but not UCL and, errr, UCL.

A small percentage of london students ever go near them (and most I've met hated them).
