Middlesex or Westminster university?

I have a question for anyone who lives in London, especially university students?

• Okay so I'm an American hoping to go to school in the UK, particularly London if possible. Can anyone give me the low-down on Middlesex University, University of Westminster, Queen Mary, King's College, and/or UCL? I'm going to study foreign languages, but general information is good too.

• Answer:

  Are you going to do a one year MA or a full degree ? I studied an MA at UCL. The teaching is good at UCL and it has a good reputation. UCL and Kings are both very good universities -however- be warned: the students often come across very 'stuck up', either because they're very smart of they're from very rich backgrounds. Maybe this is your crowd? I say this because I did my first degree at Manchester, where everyone was so much more friendly. Kings is similar to UCL but UCL has a much nicer campus and a better location in the West End. Queen Mary is somewhere in the east end of London which is a working class area and it has a friendlier reputation. Westminster and Middlesex aren't such great places because they used to be polytechnics.
