Is King's College London conservative?

you're going to love Nigel Farage then haha.

Central London is also Tory territory i think.

UKIP and Nigel Farage terrify me. Le Pen, Farage, and Trump should all form a club.

Central London is very much Labour (in terms of elected MPs). It's the big suburbs outside London that is a Tory breeding ground, as in the places with multi-million pound houses lol. However this has absolutely no bearing on the universities, since they will be from all over the country.

That makes sense, thanks!

why are you coming to the dirthole that is the UK?

why not stay in american? you guys have the best universities in the world, i would die to go to one of those ivy leagues. not to mention the weather is probably better as well.

Point proven. Also this picture is way too HD, I don't need to see his saliva.

The Ivy League unis are all further north than London and experience bitter winters.

well i was talking more about america as a whole, the travelling, the site seeing. urgh

Thats a matter of perspective, I came to the UK after living in Australia for 13 years and i love British culture. Many people tell me that im crazy to trade Auz for the Uk, but there is something more appealing about different cultures that attracts people, much like why some Americans want to come to the uk, and vice-versa.

I didn't even think about this before I came to kings, I didn't know this was thing. When I came I noticed it was conservative, the student were posh (if that's what conservative s) and a lot of money was being kept by those at the top. That said, of you look at the current SU officers, there is racial diversity and representation. So seem very left wing (I am really pleased with the officer choices). So yeah, maybe it is changing, or students are fighting against the conservativeness of the uni with divest etc

Ah ok. im also applying to Kings, but i think most people will be middle/right as there are lots of international students at Kings I think, and most of them are quite well off i would suspect. Central London is also Tory territory i think. Anyway from my experices in Uk politics at school, its generally the lefties (no offence) that are the most hostile, while the right are quite relaxed. So you should be fine, just stay away from the anarchists, they're a bit crazy ( again no offence to anyone)

The people who partake in political activities in KCL are, like nearly all students, incredibly left wing. The SU is very pro-LGBT, anti-Israel, multicultural, and generally Corbynite. I didn't meet a single person at KCL who was culturally conservative. I met a good few who were economically conservative and who voted Tory in the general election, but even they were pretty liberal by American standards.

There is a relatively large Tory society and a lot of 'posh' people, but the Labour and Socialist societies are larger and most people at KCL are not privately educated and not particularly posh, especially outside of the arts and humanities. Oh, and there are also the war studies students who are pretty right wing as you'd expect, but most of them are mature students and don't get involved in the SU very much. But KCL is a pretty large university and if you really want to avoid people whom you disagree with you can do so easily (although to be honest I think it rather defeats the point of going to university if you don't want to mix with other people and broaden your horizons).
