students in aston university, birmingham

It’s not that extreme at all, however there is a large indian and south asian population, it is noticeable. That being said there are still people from many other countries and it is diverse, nowhere near an indian college. It will feel like a proper uni abroad don’t worry.
If you were looking for a place that’s more ‘diverse’ and had not so many people from the same country as you, then yes a lot of other uni’s such as birmingham are closer to the experience you’re looking for.
I’m south asian myself, so I know what you mean by wanting a more diverse experience.
In short, there’s a big south asian population, but it’s more than diverse enough.
I’m heading into comp sci this year too at aston, let me know if you want to stay in touch through socials!

are you sure? how do you know? im worried it wont even feel like uni in the uk because the majority is indian or asian indian? i dont want it to feel like uni in an indian state like why else am i going to the uk💀😭

you can search up the demographics online, I’ve lived in brum for two years, that’s how i know. at the end of the day, if you don’t like the lack* of diversity, you can always apply or transfer to another university after ur first year.

ooh i see haha, how hard is it to transfer??

relatively easy, it depends on what uni you’re trying to transfer to, course similarity, rigidity, and what grades you achieved - that’s the general gist of things.
If you’re trying to transfer to a similarly ranked uni, fitting ur diversity quota, then it should be more than easy providing you get the grades. The first thing you should do is call the uni you wish to join and ask if they allow transfers from aston comp sci with xy
grades. Just to get a grasp on if it’s even possible, or what the circumstances are.
