Its still the best in my country though and almost all research happens there. At least professors are not involved with any of this shit.

I know you're just having some cheeky banter but honestly it's p difficult to summarize a nation of 300+ million people that's a couple thousand miles across.
It might not have a national culture extending back centuries, but there's culture, even if it's transplanted and mostly fostered by diasporas (I'm specifically thinking about the ethnic enclaves where I live in southern California). Honestly, the Little Saigons and Koreatowns and whatnot are good option to be able to experience some authentic food without leaving the country.
>>874839
A pretty good one too, the primary reason I want to go KCL is because I could spend a year abroad at U of Chicago.
>>873021
>KCL

Top kek, it's a good uni overall; how many have you actually been? Last time I checked KCL is much better than most unis in the UK
>>873021

The only solace is that the schools in my home state made even more retarded decisions.
>>875929
To be fair, the focus of college should be for learning more than employment.
However, I generally agree with that sentiment - most people are going to college to further their career, but the vast majority of jobs shouldn't need a college degree, especially a liberal arts degree.
KCL is a good school... what is this meme?

>>878411
To be fair it's a pretty good uni - good services, structure etc.
Getting settled in is easy with it being all on campus, the college system makes things even easier (I was a freshers' rep earlier this year - helping people to integrate and stuff).
Anything specific you want to know?

>>878120
You're mostly wrong there. At Manc even the humanities departments kept progressivism out of the lecture hall. At least unlike the London unis most of the people are white [spoiler]or Chinese, Jesus fuck there's so many Chinese[/spoiler]
>>878261
I wouldn't trust a degree from Kings or Imperial, in my mind it's a shithole where Arabs pay a fee and get given a PhD for their troubles
>>878527
My degree is Geography, focused around Politics and Development.
The city's a little small and quite quiet although the locals are shit-tier.
There's plenty of nice scenic areas and lots of hidden spots, i've been here for a year and a half and still finding out places I never knew existed.
Nightlife is alright, nothing special - the main nightclub is the Sugarhouse which isn't amazing, I prefer EDM events that go on in other places. Don't come here if you're after amazing nightlife and partying, Lancaster isn't the place for that.
Honestly, settling in is nothing to worry about. The accomodation across campus is really good, consistently winning awards for the best in the country. Townhouses are good for the social aspect, they're what I lived in my first year. As for colleges, it doesn't really make that much of a difference - Cartmel & County are the two on the far ends of the campus (South & North respectively) and people normally complain about having to walk the extra 5 mins to lectures lel. Second year people normally move out into town and you'll have to find housing fairly quickly although it's again nothing to be concerned about.
>>878825
Thanks for the info. Ill look into it some more. Seems nice.
>>878892
No worries m8
>>878518
My man. I go there as well - rejected from oxford. What do you study? I haven't found it to be that left wing desu, more centre-left. Everyone I've met is willing to listen to opposing viewpoints (even my v conservative ones)
>>873021
>professors have horrible accencts
I'm sorry about your ears? How is this even a complaint?
>>878949
I just imagine Scotland being a cesspit of people who are incredibly left-wing as a result of never having to experience immigrants.
>>878754
oh no way, I'm originally from SoCal too and also got into UCSD. Ended up choosing W&M because I wanted to do history and gtfo of SoCal.
If history's what you're after the professors are some of the best in the country, but they also assign a ton of fucking work. Also if you end up going, go Greek or you'll wish you had.
>>879013
History, first year
>>875362
Please tell me you're joking.
Lots of Marxists among our socsci and humanities faculty (and one or two in our econ department).
All continental philosophy all the time (not a fedoralord, just sucks that the mix isn't better). Upside is we have great placement for folks that study here.
Good place to get a STEM education, our PoliSci department is respected in American politics, our philosophy department is respected in its own little bubble, our econ department has good game theorists and a bamf demographer.
Beyond that, I do not know.
>>879314
How are you finding it? I did a history module as an outside course and it was awful. It actually used hand outs from the Womens' studies department.

I am apparently not that smart. Also I don't like the idea of living in London due to the high rent prices.
My current plans are just to go to Wolverhampton University to study politics (as it's one of the few I can actually get into with my shitty results). After that I have no clue where my life is going.
>>879355
Not bad so far. I haven't seen very much hyper-progressivism at all (eg in British history there was very little 'muh colonialism', although it was a bit Whiggish overall). What was the outside course that you took?
>>879486
Classics, so not so far from you I guess. Only here for the one year though
>>879639
European History 1a, Early modern Europe 1500-1792. It was dreadful.
>>879498
Get a job in training for an industry. Better than wasting your time in a poly. That's what I did, and it's got me money if nothing else.

>>875362
American here, this is true. I mean bongs acting snobby isnt much more culitural then s having protestants and rednecks, but yeah were mostly just work on our career and drink.
>>879637
They let me in and I'm an american
>>879685
Ugh - took that one as well. Too much bloody social history
>>879749
Absolutely. We didn't once look at a map, or discuss the consolidation of power, or protestantism. Only witches, sexism, slavery and French absolutism. Truly disgusting.
>>879314
Would have been in first year history at Edinburgh had I not rejected my offer and gone to work for a year.
Should be starting this year instead. Applied for History and Classics as well as re-applying for and was rejected though. Bit worried that they'll also reject my History application and I'll have to fuck off to Aberdeen.
One thing I'm curious about; is the History course full of private school babbies?
I'm from Edinburgh anyway and I know what the student population is like but I'm curious as to whether the Oxbridge rejects have some sort of preponderance in humanities as I imagine they might.
>>879848
In my experience, yes. Stem is almost entirely international, but the humanities are just full of English private (and public) school kids.
>>879856
Oh christ I can't be arsed with that shite.

I'm English, and even I can't stand those middle class cunts. Even the Scots here are pretentious fucks. Whereabouts are you in Edinburgh?
>>879848
Those with plummy voices and red trousers definitely have a high propensity to take subjects like History, Classics, History of Art, Geo etc. Edinburgh is no exception (A guy I know goes to every lecture in a tweed blazer). I've gotten to know quite a few of them in my course - but I have yet to encounter any of the stereotypical obnoxious 'yahs'
>>879911
I'm actually in Midlothian close to Bonnyrigg, only about 10 miles from the city centre though.
Whereabouts are you?
>>879926
City centre, old town-Newington. Standard student area, listening to the creatures of Cowgate.
>tfw studying law at AUT
I know it's accredited, but fuck me it looks bad to do a law degree at a Tech school. At least we've got a shittone of firms sponsoring us to make up for it
>>879932
Comfy.
I imagine I'll just stay at home in my shitey poverty containment village if I end up at Edinburgh.
For the sake of curiousity, do you like the city?
>>879943
I absolutely love it. Of course it has its issues, like the council seeming hell bent on losing the world Heritage status, and even though I have no connection, what was done in the late 60's to Bristo Street and the area frustrates me to no end. I love the hipster independent shops though, and the architecture just anywhere. I see the castle every time I walk out the flat. Decent pubs, good food, a good social life, and it's safe. Plus the air is good, and the water is tasty. Compared to the shithole that I come from, it's comfy as fuck here, even with the abuse because I'm English.
>>879976
Have you been to the street near grassmarket with all the used bookshops? One of the comfiest places in the city.
>>879991
Yeah, that and the farmers' market on Saturday are beyond comfy. Or an Oink when you're hungover. I'll really miss this city.
>>879625
It is a famous college, and is one of the most respected for politics. I would also suggest looking at American university to since they are close to each other have similiar levels of respect in the field you''re looking at.
>>879914

>shitty place to get a masters or Ph. D in anything other than Texas, Mexican, or Southern history.
>library selection is generally terrible
>parking is shit
I really feel like I didn't earn my BA in History (yes, I know a BA is basically has basically the same amount of prestige as a high school diploma or GED nowadays) because the vast majority of courses were too easy. I only had two professors that had the balls to have challenging course work and I struggled immensely with both because, as I said before, there is a culture of not being willing to challenge to student body at this school (its basically everyone's last resort when shit goes wrong which is what forced me to spend 3 years there). I'll probably stay in the UT system to get my Masters in History (a joke of a degree, I know) but I sure as hell won't do it here.
>>879914

I've redeemed myself now IMO but Jesus Christ was I a piece of human excrement back then. I swear that people like me should be obliged to spend a few years working before university so we don't go to university and act like man children.

I went to Aberdeen only because I already lived in the city and I did a boring as fuck STEM degree I disliked. I really hated my time at university and gained nothing.
I remember in my first year I was walking to the (old, way too small, run down, and very lovable because nobody went there) library and hearing two girls walking in front of me talking. One of them said that people who go the library are weirdos. That should give you an indication of the intellectual culture of that dump. Of course that old library was knocked down and a new shiny one was opened which is fucking infested with normies socialising and posting on social media about how they're in the library.

Choosing between Aberdeen and Scumdee if Edinburgh reject me.
Conspicuous advantage of living in Scotland; you have to be a 24 carat spastic to end up at anything other than a respectable uni. Caveat to that is the possibility of ending up at a decent uni in a poverty-stricken leftist cesspit like Glumgow or Scumdee.
>>882379
See my post above.
Is Aberdeen bad enough that you would consider going to Scumdee as an alternative?
>>882500
No. 4chan is full of shitty career advice. If I had to give one compact heuristic for choosing universities, it would be to pick them based solely on rankings. Telling a 17 year old to do that would lead them to better outcomes than telling them to consider X, Y, Z etc.
>>882474

I went here too. Majored in history. I enjoyed the faculty a lot but the fact that I was a commuter student meant I didn't spend too much time on the campus. I remember them religiously ticketing my car every few weeks, even a few times where I was parked in the correct lot.
The school tried to push some semblance of university pride during the orientation I went to. No one seemed to be into it. Massive fucking waste of time, so I just ducked out and went to find the buildings/rooms that my classes were in. Funny enough I got a notice a few weeks later that I had to re-attend part of the orientation (guess they figured out I bailed). Who would've thought at an orientation I'd want to know the campus better rather than listen to stupid song-and-dance propaganda about how 'awesome' the university was?

What makes Dublin meh? The campus is in a great location and is p neat. Is it the program itself? I haven't been able to directly compare Trinity with the Brit unis because they don't use the same rankings for degrees.

>>882877
Fuck Dublin and St. Andrew's doesn't deserve its reputation (and is boring as fuck to study at). Durham is good but the city is small, Edinburgh is good and the city is much better, but I think Durham is ranked higher.

If all you care about are academics then go for Warwick. If you care about student culture, etc. Then I would still advise you to tolerate and apply to Warwick.
What are the best schools in the Western New York/ Buffalo area for avoiding SJW bullshit and getting a legit education?
What are some good uni's in UK? From reading this thread it seems like every top ranked uni is somehow shit.

>Warwick isn't so bad as long as you stay out of student politics
Alright, isn't the Uni Warwick pretty far outside of the city? Also I'm a rather financial person, would shit be expensive if I would study in Warwick? (I heard Bristol's pretty expensive for daily stuff)
Also, how's the History faculty there? I keep reading they got an impressive one, but I don't wanna be riddled with professors applying modern morals to the past.
As if someone gets in and writes my criticisms of Warwick before I do. One of my history seminars just descends into bollox left wing crap, everyone trying to feel bad about what non-Europeans went through as though empathy is analysis.
I had to go to one of those consent workshops that was in the news earlier this year. Fucking irritated the fuck out of me because potentially it could have been useful, highlighting issues around consent. Nope. Just ended up being a tirade about 'rape culture' with some fucking labour society cunt trying to out-left wing everyone. Purely so that a bunch of cunt puritans can feel good about themselves and put it on their CV, not to actually help anything, as is the way with lefties at Warwick
The Cops off campus shit is on YouTube, might post it at some point. That got retarded pretty fast.
I'm not even right wing and I fucking hate all these lefties. Pop is alright though
Academically most Russell groups are fine. Warwick is perfectly good academically. Ask any maths student here and they will come out with a speech claiming that while they aren't Cambridge, they cover similar things.
Foreign (East Asian) students can be a big problem at some of the top tier ones though. Top unis take more foreign students because they get more cash from them. East Asian students on the whole just don't want to interact with the other students. Here at Warwick, it really feels like a university within a university.

Tell me about it, cops off campus was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. What year are you in?
>>885317
>mandatory consent classes
That sounds agonising.
Second year. I came out of the cost cutter (as it was called back in the day) and saw them on the night the 'oppression' happened. They were all running around the cone shouting at the large amount of police that had come. One of the police told me he had been dragged away from a burglary to deal with a bunch of stuck up middle class children who are convinced they are leading a revolution.
>>885353
Second year also.
Just to add some balance to the criticisms, Leamington is fucking fantastic and kelseys is one of the best places in the world. If you make it past first year (not difficult as pop is one of the best nights out in the world) then you will enjoy your time there.

I'm phil not history, so you wouldn't know me from uni. Unless you worked a certain part time job that we shouldn't be talking about, especially on an Congolese pot crafting forum.
>>885379
Yes, you have found me out. Also if you don't know what I was talking about then you probably don't know me irl. It's still astonishing to find another Leamingtonian who doesn't subscribe to the SJW mandate.

I'm a maths and stats student there (St. Andrews), and if say it's about 30/40% wankers but it's easy enough to just not bother with them. It's actually a pretty good uni but I can only vouch for the maths department
>>885325
Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, even Strathclyde and Stirling are good when looking in Scotland, St. Andrews is excluded thanks to only getting a reputation through a few royals going there occasionally

In what world are UCL and Imperial ranked above Durham? Imperial for medicine sure, but not for humanities
>>885435

The university is a bus ride out of the city. Or you can walk it, it's not so long. A lot of the students live in Leamington Spa, which is the next town over. I don't know how much rent is there, or how much halls cost. If you want to live in Coventry, a short distance from the Uni, it's between £275-350 a month, depending on how nice you want your place to be
>>885784
>Or you can walk it, it's not so long
Noice, guess I could just easily travel with my bicycle there. What about the tuition fees for the courses? From what I've heard they're basically almost all the same for UK/EU students with 9,000£ a year, would be great if I got some confirmation.
I got into kings, is it actually a good uni or is it just a meme?
>>885803
Oh yeah, you can easily cycle. You'll wanna invest in a good lock though. For undergrad they're all 9k-ish, no variation as far as I know.
>uni buildings scattered all across Venice
>the philsophy department isn't continental enough for my taste
>we have exams every two months

Other than that, it's an incredibly good university in an incredibly beautiful city and I wouldn't change it with anything - but I'll go to Universitetit Gent next year with an Erasmus program so I hope it'll be nice.
>>885783
First of all, imperial doesn't even have humanities. Second, imperial is better for sciences than durham and UCL is better for most social sciences, humanities subjects, and some sciences. Global rankings don't lie babe.
>>885783
Also, UCL and imperial have better international reputations.

Postgrad at Warwick. Did undergraduate at a literally who university which I got into without A levels, now somehow at a top 10 uni. I feel lucky.
>>886240
What are you studying senpai?
>studying accounting
>haven't been able to get internships or vacation work
>>885556
Only go to Strathclyde if you want to do a STEM course though.
>>885828
I go to KCL as a postgraduate, it's very disorganised but other than that its good teaching in my department. What are you applying for?
>>885973
Maybe my info on humanities is a bit out of date but I'm right on most ocial sciences and definitely right about international reputation. Durham is a very good school but UCL and imperial are generally considered to be a tier above it.
>>886119
I'm talking about job prospects/grad school in the UK. Globally, Warwick wouldn't be on that list and LSE would probably get bumped off too.
>>886510
Msci neuro.

It actually is shit. Doesn't deserve to be in the top 10.
What I find funny is that UCLan look up to you lot. Says a lot about the UCLan twats.

I agree that in the classroom they try not to let identity politics and such get in the way. I think its because I do economic history mainly.

Honestly suprised I'm having this debate with muself, couple of other options which i csre for less mostly due to geography and personal reasons, but I thought it would be a pretty easy choice of Glasgow over Stirling, yet I'm having second thoughts about it, after visits I just preferred the campus element of Stirling so much more, it just seemed like a better and easier layout, and it seems like it'd be easier to meet people too with the whole on-campus accommodation element to it, and the campus itself was lovely, but at the same time I'm not foolish enough to ignore Glasgow being the superior institution, but I feel less drawn to both the scenario and the modules offered for the courses, any advice?
CSULB
SJSU
UCSC
UCR
UCSB, UCD, and UCI are still pending
Which one do I fucking go to
>>888621
Irvine. Easily the best of the bunch.
Well, what major are you planning on?
I went to SJSU and my friend went to UCSC, ask me anything.
>>888623
Chemical engineering
I applied to UCSC as electrical, though, since they don't have chemical.
the wait for decisions is fucking killing me
>>888623
also, how fucked am I when it comes to finding non-liberal communities at UCSC?
>>888632
Both my friend and I were humanties (philosophy for me and poli sci for him. >implying) so I'm not too sure on engineering in the schools but Irvine is much more science based. UCSC has a pretty baller environmental science area though.
>>888636
Zero chance. If you're not a Bernie supporter you're gonna be treated like Hitler.
Just noticed UCD in your list. I know they're a really good school in terms as far as research universities go but I'm not sure where they stand on more "practical" majors like chem. engineering.
>>888640
thanks for the info, mate.
I guess I'll just wait it out and hope for the best, and I suppose I'll avoid UCSC, since I'd get fucking lynched, there
>>888654
Sorry I couldn't really give more info, I just know more about humanities programs in my local universities since that's where I hang out most.

But it is and for a reason, even if it's not as well known as other unis.
What's your grudge against the place?
