The further north or west of Greater London, the less diverse the uni. I would avoid Exeter or Durham if you want to learn in a diverse uni.

Let's have a discussion about diversity though. Just because university A has a higher proportion of students from non-British or non-white backgrounds than university B doesn't always mean that university A feels more diverse, or that university A/its students makes the most of that diversity to benefit all, including its British and white students.

Just because a university might have a lower proportion of BAME students doesn't mean they'd necessarily be made to feel less welcome, or end up feeling less welcome, than at a university with a higher proportion.

There's diversity of political or philosophical opinions too - if a university has more arts students, perhaps it will be slightly more concerned with education for education's sake.

So, term time, visit the places you like the look and sound of to get a feel of them.
