Kingston Uni

I'm thinking about heading back to England again for another semester of study abroad. Anyone give me an idea on the Kingston upon Thames area? Good uni, good area to live in? Aside from housing, what are costs of living like? SHOULD I GO?!?!

Cheers

yep we live very close to kingston. I believe that it is a good uni. Kingston has an, *ahem good nightlife with lots of bars and student bars so drink is plentiful and cheap. there is the local commercial clubs such as the works and oceana, which are very cheap on student nights. They don't offer much musically tho, altho the main room in oceana does play a lot of house. And of course lots of fun times are to be had with the london lot.

rick's lying, the women are not lovely, and neither are the men. its a student population heavily dominated by kingston uni students as they have 3 (if i remember correctly) main campuses dotted around town. the clubs are horrific and i'd rather get shot than to ever wander into them again. all that is ever played is commercial crap. living expenses....well its like any other place really. not cheap, not expensive. prolly not too difficult to find housemates as loads of students move out from halls after first year. shopping-wise its quite convenient. everything you'll ever need is pretty much in the town centre or thereabouts (you just have to get to know your way around)...

anyway, i went to kingston uni and i didn't really like it. but you can ignore my opinion because it was the first 3 years i lived in this country...and lets just say....kingston does not float my boat.

I've lived in Kingston my whole life! Except now 'cos I'm away at uni!

My mum taught at the uni for 14 years and didn't like it very much! It does depend on the subject you want to study though!!

Clubbing-wise there's 'The Works' or as we call it 'Spot-the-whiteman-club', there's McClusky's, cheap small and cheesey, and there's there's OCEANA www.oceana.at which is quite new and has lots of rooms, including a ballroom which is pretty big but the music can be lousy!

WAnt any more info?!

My girlfriend goes to McClusky's quite a lot. Really cheesy sounding but is a good laugh with the right people i guess

I thought Oceana club was pretty good, one of those places that you just get lost in.

To be honest I don't really care about the clubbing scene within Kingston itself. London is close enough that I wouldn't have to worry about that.
