For a modern educational experience in London, consider City University. Located Islington, a fashionable area near London's center, this university of 8800 reflects the diversity that makes London hum with technology and creativity. You'll find academics in the same place as wonderful pubs and restaurants, the Barbican, and other cultural and entertainment sites. City occupies three sides of a square, which gives it a campus-like feeling. Whether you live in City halls of residence or in the ISA Butler housing in Notting Hill, take advantage of the activities and clubs to get to know other City students.
City has an extremely active student union that sponsors clubs, societies, concerts, and parties.
No lectures are held on Wednesday afternoon, so take that time to check out the sports center or the union building with its shops, bars, dance floor, and entertainment area. Courses City's modern teaching and research approach lends itself to contemporary specialties like business and management, journalism, engineering, and information technology. City also offers an excellent Deaf studies department. Also consider City's unusual music program that focuses on ethnic music and the place of music in culture. The deadlines for applying to City University are April 15 for the fall and year and October 15 for the spring.
