Wanting to go to college in London! I'm African American! Help?

Question

Ok. so I want to go to school in London for Nursing. But I also want to be around a culture that is diverse but mostly blacks? any idea?

Answer 1

I don't know if there's any distinctly "black" parts of London as it were. But London is such an amazingly multicultural/ethnic city you should have no problem meeting anyone of any colour/variety/belief, etc.

That's why I love it so. :)

Answer 2

There are many universities in and around London, but I am only personally experienced with London Metropolitan University (http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/) which is located in North London and has a very diverse student body.  I am not sure of the exact statistics, but most people in my classes there were black or asian.  I am a white female and was definitely a racial minority.  I had one class with 100+ people where I was the only white person in the room.  That being said, I was never made to feel like an outsider and all the students were very friendly to me and I was always included in their activities and conversations.  

I did a quick scan of London Metropolitan's website and it looks like they do have at least one nursing program, but I suppose it depends what specific area of nursing you're looking in to.  The school is not in a fantastic part of the city, but I never felt unsafe walking around there especially since it was located right off the underground station so I didn't need to walk a lot through the area.  London in general is a very diverse and accepting city so I don't think you'll feel like an outsider no matter where you end up.  Hope this helps!

Answer 3
