Towns with lots of unis

I was talking to a friend and we were disusing placers that have 3 or even 4 unis in the same city or town. I know Manchester has 3 and two of them are on the same road I it got me wondering where has the most unis in one place

London by a mile if you count the different colleges of the UoL (LSE, UCL, RVC, QM, KCL etc.) as different.

Otherwise possibly still London. Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds each have 3 I can think of. If you include specialist colleges like RNCM there'll be even more.

London probably, off the top of my head it has:

UCL
KCL
LSE
QMUL
Brunel
Kingston
Roehampton
LSBU
Imperial

And there's even more than that which i can't think of at this second
Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool have three each that I can think of.

There are four Edinburgh unis which I know of:

Edinburgh, Napier, Queen Margaret and Heriot Watt.

Didn't think/know of Queen Margaret :holmes:
Birmingham has 3

Aston uni
Birmingham Uni
Birmingham city university BCU
Leeds is another with three :beard:
London (in excess of 10, I should imagine)
Manchester
Birmingham

Following that, pretty much every city has a university, then an ex-poly/art college as well:

Southampton
Nottingham
Newcastle
Liverpool
York
Leicester
Brighton

The list probably goes on.

If you include Bolton and the Huddersfield Campus in Oldham, Greater Manchester would have five (already counting Salford, MMU, and University of Manchester).

If we're doing that then the UEA campus on Liverpool St. is another for London :tongue:

Separately, St. George's uni which is in Tooting another one for London?

Could you count Leeds College of Art and Leeds College of Music? they both offer undergraduate courses
If you can then Leeds would have 5!

Thats not a suprise it's much smaller than the others and a long way from the city.

I would expect most people have never heard of it.

Glasgow has Glasgow, Strathclyde, Caledonian and University of the West of Scotland... spoilt for choice :rolleyes:

Two West of Scotland campuses too if you count both Paisley and Hamilton!
