Uninspiring Campus vibe

I think a lot of people might be off for Easter? You might get a better idea if you talk to someone studying there and ask them directly! From what I’ve heard, campus is pretty busy most days.

I've had an offer to study at UCL but after visiting for a campus tour I'm not sure I want to study there. Granted it was a Saturday morning and the place was practically empty, but apart from the Bharatanatyam dance society doing their thing in a corridor there was hardly a soul around. It was so depressing compared to Manchester, which was really vibrant and full of life when I visited.
It didn't help that the student conducting the tour was a tad dull. She didn't address the fact there was no one about, confirming that the atmosphere vacuum I experienced was normal . everyone wasn't away I was very disappointed.

Bearing in mind that most uni students would probably be sleeping off the night before on a Saturday morning lol.

I also doubt that many people would willingly take themselves to the library or study area on Saturday mornings regardless - especially if they've just finished exams. Idk if UCL had exams recently before you visited, but I do know that some unis local to me had them not too long ago and their libraries (which I study at) have been dead except for year 13s like myself cramming for A-Levels. Especially on a Saturday morning, there's like two other people until it hits about 12 or 1pm. Also, the Easter holidays there seem to have started over a week earlier than the regular school ones.

Obviously I can't speak for UCL, nor am I a uni student, but in my experience of being on campuses (Newcastle, Northumbria and Durham) at similar times, that doesn't seem too unusual lol.. especially for such a massive city uni where people and their accommodations are kind of scattered all over the place.
