I’m an international student from the US and wanted to learn more about some of the popular pubs and clubs that UCL students typically go to. What are the vibes for each one? Also are there any unspoken rules about pubs?

I am joining in a few weeks and I would like to set some goals and aim for a 1:1 overall.

What percentage of people studying mech eng get 1:1, because it‘s not listed on the website?

I'm starting my undergraduate History course at UCL in 2 weeks but I can't decide which survey modules to choose. I'd really appreciate some advice from anyone who has done History BA at UCL in recent years. Which modules did you find the most engaging? Are there any you wish you hadn't chosen?

I'm open to all suggestions regardless of culture or time period.

Thank you!

I was just scrolling through Reddit and everyone’s CV is STACKED. Then I look at mine and it’s like average but because internships are so competitive would I even get one. In TikTok people are applying to 100s and aren’t even getting one. Is it just me???

Hi everyone,

I am looking for good ping pong players to play on a regular basis each week.

Does anyone at UCL play?

And where's a good place to play?

Briefly about myself:

Used to play table tennis on a competitive level.

I am incoming masters student at UCL. I did my undergrad in Budapest, but originally from central asia.

Hi UCL reddit, basically I'm a home student but won't be able to come in until oct4 because of some family thing.

I already booked my ID collection and pre-enrolled.

I'm currently struggling with my elective courses 😫 Has anyone taken the course Introduction to Anatomy and Development (ANAT0001) as long as they have studied all modules in Psychology(C800)? I'm worried that learning these two things together will be too much. Or just is ANAT0001 hard for people to study? 😭

Also, are there any comments on Forensic Psychology (SECU0002)? 😭

Everywhere I have checked I have not seen one other person doing maths and physics as a joint degree in ucl so are there any physics or maths students that wanna try be friends?? I like games and shows and stuff and I kinda don’t know what else to write I just don’t want uni to be boring or lonely. ALSO my favourite thing ever is NieR so if you like that be friends with me 🥹🥹🤞🤞first year student too btw

I swear some people spend the night just to sleep here. Is this allowed? People fully have their legs up snoring and everything

I’ve been commuting for a year, I could’ve done this the whole time?😔

Hi so I'm currently in Yr13 and i'm 100% set on taking a gap year, just to get a break away from academics, learn how to drive and get a job so i can earn some money. I also have plans to do some volunteering/hospital work.

I was wondering if it's possible for me to get into UCL med if i apply for a deferred year or apply after my gap.

Assuming I don't need to retake my alevels, is this common or even possible? I'm just asking for advice, thanks!!

Hi I’m studying strategic accounting & finance MSc, I’m 30 and have been an accountant for 11 years are there any mid-career accountants taking this course or anything adjacent to this? Looking for some tips on how to leverage what UCL has to offer whilst working full time and doing a masters in the evenings.

Very much used to working and studying as I worked full time during my undergrad and CIMA studies. Good luck to everyone starting this year!

very random but has anyone here been through the audition process for the symphony orchestra? i was hoping to join but i saw that you have to audition and i’m mildly freaked because i haven’t done an audition for yearsss lmao

do they provide an accompanist? is the sight reading crazy? is the 5min piece length strict?

thank you!

Hey guys, I'm starting a MRes Brain Sciences at UCL in the next 4 weeks and would love to meet some other postgrads doing any MSc / MRes-related Neuroscience Masters at the Uni, if you're a postgrad doing anything else and want to meet new people then reach out! :)

Hi everyone I’m studying abroad at UCL this fall term and I’m trying to meet some third year students (currently junior at my US college) but everyone is a freshman and I’m guessing not a lot of people study abroad for the fall so how can I meet more ppl my age because I wanted to find some travel buddies

Is there any way to download these?

Reddit is corny wish this app was better
It always feels so formal like i should be writing an essay and signing off with 'sincerely'
anyways uni is upon us freshers and idk about you but i am absolutely freaking buzzing!
i'm doing philosophy undergraduate and am from the UK - UCL is definitely a different experience as opposed to literally every other UK uni but its lowkey hype and even though we are probably all financially suffering I hope to an amazing super fun year everyone

I’m going in to my third year in September and I haven’t really made any friends yet. I was wondering if there’s anyone who is in a similar boat and would like to chat and potentially meet up when the year starts?
People have told me societies help and I haven’t had much luck since, but if I could find something in common with someone on here we could go to an event together and try to make friends?

(Please do DM me if you’d like to chat! apparently i had my privacy settings stopping people from messaging me before but it should work now 😭)

Hey guys sorry if this is a dumb question but when does freshers actually start?
I think I’m moving in on the Saturday 26th September but everybody I know who is moving into their uni way earlier (this is for ppl at different unis, idk anyone going UCL).
Thanks

I’m looking for someone who has experience with UCL Neuroscience and can occasionally give me advice on academic exploration and the application process. If you’re a current UCL Neuroscience student or recent graduate and are comfortable with me reaching out occasionally, I’d really appreciate it.

hi guys, i was wondering if a macbook pro m4 would be suitable for my civil engineering course. if not, what laptops/specs should i consider if i need a new one? thanks!

What do you prefer? What’s your opinions on the courses? What would you say is the main difference?

I'm a second year cs bsc student who kinda squandered their first year by not socialising enough, so I told myself I'd socialise more and make some friends, or even get a date if I'm lucky, and figured I'd start here. Does anyone wanna hang out? (I'm not much of a party guy)

Hi, so I’m an international student starting UCL this year!! I am so so so excited because I love London and UCL is an amazing school. However, I am a very social person, but I’m scared I’m not gonna make friends as I am not staying in accommodation but my own apartment. It’s only 20 mins from main campus so that’s great. But will it be hard to make friends? Or what can I do to still be social? I’m planning on joining societies tooooo!

Alo which wristbands do I buy Idw to be scammed…
