Anglia Ruskin muslims starting ??

Okay this sounds so weird but I was just wondering if any Muslims are gonna start at Anglia Ruskin this September ? I’m a Muslim girl and gonna be doing Optometry and idk I just have this unsupported perception that I’m gonna be one of only very few Muslims who are gonna be there ?? I don’t acc have any evidence I guess it’s just cuz it’s not a larger city uni, eg Manchester or Sheffield etc, I just feel like it’s not too diverse but not too sure. It wouldn’t be too much of an issue it’s just that I like to have some friends that I identify w a bit more and all and just some ppl to hang w when everyone’s partying and drinking yk ??

Well I live in London so I have to commute 😂😂 but if anyone is planning to carpool I’m down

Are anyone of you planning to live on campus or commute to anglia

I’m planning on living in accommodation, probably a studio I reckon

Ah man my ones in Cambridge - but yeah a studio just cuz I like my own space and plus all the flats were mixed gender lol and idk. Kinda worried it’ll be harder to make friends w a studio but hopefully it’ll just work out

Good luck !!!

Hi have you found any accommodation? I'm also a Muslim girl coming to Anglia Ruskin to study optometry. I'm looking for accommodation. Wondering if you've found anything?

Is the studio in campus or is it owned by a third party? Also not to comfortable with the whole mixed gender dormitories/flats

It’s off campus private a lil pricey but pretty nice. Cambridge accomm is so expensive compared to other unis ugh

Literally ! It’s acc a joke fr. yeah it’s pretty close like a 10-15 min walk away

That’s a good distance, if you don’t mind me asking are you from London or else where? I literally know no one that’s going to ARU from where I’m from 😬😂
