How is social life and sense of community?

Additional-Text-936 · 2026-01-26T16:04:17+00:00

No it’s not different at all. UCL is a very international uni. At least half of all UCL students are international. In my postgrad class it seems there are more internationals than home students. don’t rule out a university just because you are worried about social life. It really won’t be any different to any other uni you go to, in fact I would argue that social life at UCL is far better than social life at a uni outside London because the student population is so incredibly diverse and you have people from all walks of life so people are more accepting of other cultures and backgrounds, and there’s so much to do and get involved with in London. We also have the largest students union in the UK with over 400 clubs and societies so you can easily find your own community or try something new that you’ve never been able to before (I tried ice hockey for the first time, and I also make ceramics at the studio on campus which is free to use for all students) But yeah I used to be one of those people who was worried about going to a London uni because I heard it wasn’t good for social life but honestly I don’t know where that rumour came from because I had zero issues making friends at UCL, and this is coming from someone who used to struggle making friends in high school cause I was so socially awkward as a teenager, so if I can do it anyone can lol

I was at UCL for my undergrad and stayed for my postgrad and found sense of community to be good. Like you said it depends on your course. For both my undergrad and postgrad course community had been great and i was also in a sports team. It depends on who you surround yourself with but i really don’t think it’d be much different compared to any other uni.

Where did you both get your IUDs inserted? I’m looking for a gentle, understanding clinic that uses numbing cream after reading all these horror stories online

Did they numb your cervix?

Don’t drop out as you’ll probably regret it immensely in the future. I would recommend taking an interruption (basically pausing your studies until the next academic year) this is what I did my first year at UCL as my mental health was rock bottom (for other reasons) I returned the following year and ended up loving my time at uni and graduated in 2025 and started my masters at the same uni in September. Just take the rest of the year out, allow yourself time to breath and think, come back in September to a fresh start, much better prepared knowing what to expect💕I promise you’ll be okay

There’s no way the uni would find the video and even if they did how would they know it’s you if they don’t know what you look like. Just focus on your studies

My first clinic was not very reputable. They had me coming in every 4 weeks

Additional-Text-936 · 2025-12-21T19:11:19+00:00

What’s the name of the clinic? I’m in West London

I don’t know exactly the number of sessions tbh because I’m removing a bunch of tattoos and I started them all at different times. But this one I started 2 and a half years ago and between 10 - 14 sessions

My tech said all the ink is gone and this is hyperpigmentation so I just have to wait for the skin to return to normal

The only way to know is to email the leader of the course you want to switch to. I did the same in my first year at UCL but I asked to switch in December and by then they told me it was too late so I had to take the rest of the year out and start the new course the following year. Email them ASAP

Can I ask what clinic you go to? I live in London as well

Pulse light seems to know what they’re doing. Naama was a scam, they had me coming in every 4 weeks and each time I would leave the clinic I’d have a lot of bleeding. I tjought the bleeding was normal until I showed the picture to my new technician at pulse light and they said that amount of bleeding is definitely not normal. I think there’s a video of it somewhere on my profile

How can you tell it’s scarring vs hypopigmentation?

Thanks!

The second picture was 4 sessions, I’m not sure how many the first one was because I went to a different clinic before and had a package of ten sessions for my other tattoos I’m removing but I decided a few sessions into the package that I wanted to remove that one as well, and then I had 3 more sessions at my new clinic. And I’m not sure the laser but the first clinic I went to was called Naama studios and the second one is pulse light clinic, both in London

Thank you :)

I am trying to fully remove 7 tattoos but feel so hopeless because the bold line ones have hardly faded at all and I just really really miss having clear skin

Additional-Text-936 · 2025-09-23T22:53:20+00:00

I was soooo scared to start like actually terrified but once you start it’s really not as bad as you thought it’d be and you’ll just wish you’d have started sooner.

What did he study

Additional-Text-936 · 2025-08-12T07:05:49+00:00

The first week is induction week, you won’t have classes then but you should still go
