One of the friendliest places to study - it's official
5 June 2006
Academic excellence, a happening social scene, an enviable location…now °×С½ãÂÛ̳ has another attraction to add to its list: it's also one of the friendliest places to study in the UK.
°×С½ãÂÛ̳ comes seventh for friendliness out of all the universities in Britain, tied with Wolverhampton, in a league table that Friends Reunited has compiled based on the number of students who send messages via the website. °×С½ãÂÛ̳ is one of just three universities in the south to figure in the top ten, and missed out by a hair's breadth on the title of friendliest place to study in London to number five Goldsmiths, whose student body is roughly half the size of °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s and is based almost entirely on one site. Manchester Metropolitan University took the top slot, followed by Newcastle and Brighton.
°×С½ãÂÛ̳'s high ranking was no surprise to Vice Provost Michael Worton: "°×С½ãÂÛ̳ prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive, as well as an academically excellent, university. I am regularly told by students studying at °×С½ãÂÛ̳ who come from all over the world how delighted they are at making new, lasting friendships here at °×С½ãÂÛ̳."
