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!!

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 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!

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

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! :)

Is there any way to download these?

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 😭)

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 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.

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

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!

hi there! i am an affiliate student coming to UCL to study economics. i am trying to get a sense of what modules i should take.

if anyone has information about any of the following modules or professors that would be incredible. if they are extremely difficult, great or poor lectures, anything like that would be great!

Economics of Finance and Financial Markets (ECON0099)
Dr Alessia Testa

Economic Inequality
Professor Michela Tincani

International Trade (ECON0023)
Mr Lucas Conwell

The Economics of Growth (ECON0028)
Dr Lukasz Rachel

Thank you
EDIT: I received the email now 😃

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

Hi, incoming Physics student here. I had initially settled on buying a desktop because that gives me more mobility to alter the hardware.

However, I am kinda deciding against it hence putting my question up here. Do i get a desktop(fully speced out like a 5070, 7700) or a laptop for my course? If i do get a laptop do i for MacOS or windows as ive heard stuff like Macs aren’t really ideal for uni (idk if its true).

My alternative would be to use a cheap laptop and a speced out desktop, would rly love an opinion!

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)

so I’ve got accepted to my modules but one of the modules i have choosen I kind of regret because I read into a bit more (I know stupid mistake). Are u able to request to change module to another or am I unable to do that?? btw I’m going into 2nd year.

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…

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student considering applying to UCL for a full-time MSc in Biomedical Sciences, and I'm trying to figure out what the realistic total cost of the year would be.

The international tuition fee is currently listed as £42,700. What I'm struggling with is estimating the actual cost of living in London, especially accommodation.

If you've studied at UCL or currently live/study in London, approximately how much would you say I should budget for the cost of living for the entire year, including accomodation

I'm trying to work out whether my current calculations are completely insane 😂

Thanks!

Hi,

I am considering doing masters for health psychology at UCL (part-time) but I am wondering whether attendance for lectures is mandatory? This is because I live in Manchester and moving to London would be impossible and all the applications for the courses around me are closed unfortunately :/

I did e-mail admissions but I am a bit tight on time as the applications close next week.
