Muslims currently at uni, what is your honest opinion of the culture?

You mean the tuition fees and living costs?!

OP what is your firm and insurance out of curiosity?

I may not get my 1st choice... Also I really really don't fancy travelling an hour to and from uni every single day.

Well if my dad buys me a car then I wouldn't mind driving but I really don't want to take the train everyday. The underground sucks as well in rush hour.

I'll do my best to get a same sex hall and I'll see if it's possible to get a hall with only Muslims but I highly doubt it. Maybe we can rent privately, I'll have to see.

After you've received offers, you could also try emailing the ISOC at those unis and see whether they can hook you up with private accommodation with other muslim girls. Some of the ISOCs definitely run accommodation finding services like that.

Non Muslims, would you be bothered if a practising Muslim was in your hall? Someone who wears the hijab, prays, fasts etc?

Yes but I will try to get a job in the campus shop or something to help pay for myself a bit.





What do you mean?

It seems that it'd be much better for you to you to travel everyday rather than be exposed to so much fitnah.

Not at all. What other people do, how they worship, what they wear or when they eat is their own business. I really don't think this will be an issue for you going into halls, from my own experience of them.

I'm not Muslim myself, but as for university being 'like a brothel'... It's true that students do drink and have sex - that's part of the experience for some people. But there are plenty of students who for religious reasons, or just because they don't want to, don't do these things. That's the beauty of university, it's full of lots of different people. You are bound to meet other friends who also share your views.

Some universities also let you select female-only corridors, so you may want to look into that if you feel it would help. I know UCL offered this when I applied for halls.

So what's your first choice uni( your firm) and your second choice uni (your insurance)?

Well I'm certainly not putting my food in a fridge full of bacon and ham! lol. As long as they respect my beliefs and I respect theirs it's all good.

I've not applied yet... I go to university next year.

If she has a firm belief in Allah, she shouldn't be worried about being "exposed to fitnah". By your logic, Muslims would leave their religion at the first occasion.

Ohh right what uni do you want to go to and which one's your back up? I suggest if you really are worried about commuting being too much to you, do some research on the accommodation that's provided by the university. One of the unis I applied to have alcohol free zones and curfews with noise.

Jesus Christ. What is your power level, wise one?

I would like to go to Imperial College London. I've not put too much thought into which universities specifically.

I just want to go to a good university which is "close" to where I live so I can go home on the weekends easily.

They should understand that majority of people will feel uncomfortable with them doing so, and they need to understand it is not a muslim country.

So you want to stay in London? Check out KCL/UCL/Roehampton/Surrey/Reading too as backups. They might have accommo you'd like. I'd go against commuting unless it's on the Tube but even that can be a nightmare and it'll just drain you out depending on your workload.

The firm belief in Allah instils in you that you never let your guard down. Never think too highly of yourself.
Also, do you love me?? You do love talking to me an awful lot don't you? xx

Are you actually serious? "Muslims need to undertsand its not a muslim country"?! They have the right to do whatever they want to do, if they pray they pray for themselves not be heard by others. Do you even know what praying is? And what do you even mean they shouldn't be allowed to pray in the halls and only pray in mosque? Do you want them to go to mosque for every single prayer there is? They would obviously pray n their rooms!
