Hey i'm in the same problem so any helpful reasons why imperial should be chosen over UCL wud be gr8

Basically i was gonna go to UCL cos i have rarely heard anything bad against UCl students where as i have heard a lot of bad press about imperial students (with a lot of arrogant stories!) and Imperial is a "science" uni which means there are no arts students, and right now they make up the majority of my mates!

So i reli dunno what to do cos i know imperial is probably academically above UCl but tbh there cant be that much of a difference and so any other reasons wud be gud thanks

Soz for the rambling

they're both great but still...ICSM has some great socials which i dont think RUMS could ever match.

hmmm, sorry, but I have to be frank and say I think you'd be an idiot to choose UCL with no bursary or minimal bursary over Imperial with £4000 a year bursary (about 70% of your costs). Especially considering Imperial is academically rated better, located in a better area, and has an equal or better social scene (for medics). And arrogance really isn't as big a problem as people make out.

If Imperial wasn't offering you £4000, maybe it would be justified to consider ucl, but the way it is why bother even thinking about it? :s lol

Wow, never heard about bursaries before. I'm in a low income (icome support) and I'll be doing three a levels does that mean I'll get it if I get a place in university. Can someone give me the lowdown on this bursarie thing please. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
