Advantages: Good name. Worldwide mix of people. Left to your own devices. In London

Disadvantages: Undergraduate class teaching not so good. Fairly cliquey

With a contingent of overseas students that amounts to over 50% of the total, you are definitely guaranteed a multicultural experience here. The quality of lectures is very high, and you will find yourself in front of some fairly prominent members of their respective fields. However, on the downside, there seems to be a much lower amount of student interaction than in many of my friends' unis that I visited, as many groups of foreign students tend to stick together. Also, classes at undergraduate level, are often taught by postgraduate students whom, remarkably clever though they may be, are often not the best teachers. If you are looking for a universiity with a good name, and a chance to experience the joys of London, this is the place for you. If, on the other hand, you would prefer the opportunity to relax in a secure enclosed environment and meet loads of people, look elsewhere!
