UCL Students

i do law and can assure you that these people make up a very very small handful, and that they take being a "rah" in good humour. there aren't really any cliques in the law faculty, i suppose we are one giant clique.

Rah : Someone who went to private school (or wish they had), likes rugby (not football), probably a member of a rowing, sailing or yachting club, refer to their parents as "Mummy and Daddy". Boys often seen to be wearing a lemon (or any pastel shade) sweatshirt slung casually over their shoulders and deck shoes.
Girls dress similar to that of boys along with pearls, numerous shopping bags and Daddy's credit card.
Names often include: Rupert, Will, Guy, Jeremy, Emily, Alexandra, Henrietta, Harriet. Followed by a double/triple barrelled surname, e.g. Harrington-Smythe.

Hello again Just to reassure you further, i'm from a comprehensive, not international or "Rah"

The chinese thing is definitely true. A lot of them do clump up and won't speak to you. It's no biggie: would you want to hang out with people who don't really want to talk to you anyway? Just focus on being sociable with the vast majority who do want to talk and are interested.

do you mean to say students in the law faculty are very close? I thought people tended to hang out with their hall-mates etc?

yes. and yeah they do, but for some reason medics and lawyers seem to stick together more than a lot of other subjects.

That's nice to know as I'm firming UCL law :-D

Yup it's full of posh rahs who look down upon you if you are working class. I am the working class guy btw! Oh and the chinese hang around in chinese gangs, the indians in indian gangs, the hot girls with the rugby boys gang. Basically think oxford/cambridge reject + just as arrogant. That's UCL for you.

As for meeting people from other unis...VERY hard since you don't have common lectures and i'm pretty sure most of the people that use the Uni of london union are UCL students too.

I guess you could meet loads of normal other uni peops if you went clubbing and stuff though...

Sorry if I put you off a bit but I can't wait to leave UCL in 2 months!

haha you have put me off slightly! But I don't really have anything against rahs or international students, so I shouldn't have a problem?
It's between UCL and Warwick anyhow...

I'm sure you'll meet other people who arn't 'rahs' or internationals. There will be a vast majority of students so you're sure to find a group of people who are like you

Although I did hear from someone going there that there are massives of Chinese people there, and they all stick together...
