London town, as she likes to be known, is actually a rather large city and the University of London is similarly proportioned. It’s made up of 19 colleges and ten Institutes, each with its own features and fortes. Ranging from small specialist colleges like the Courtauld Institute of Art, right up to massive institutions in the shape of UCL, the combined student population is so gigantic that London students account for one in ten of the country’s entire higher education population. There’s enough to do in the capital to fill a lifetime, but none of it, from drinks to housing, comes cheap... more detail Students at all colleges are members of the University of London Union (ULU), with the pick of the SU facilities to be found in Bloomsbury...more on the SU ULU also runs Europe’s largest student newspaper and The University Careers Group is the biggest in the country.  Unfortunately not many of the colleges have sports fields on site...more on sports While trains, tubes and buses criss-cross the whole of the city, many students choose to stick to the local areas around their respective colleges.


Woohoo: London is one of the coolest cities on the planet
Boohoo: Insert 'but most expensive' in between 'coolest' and 'cities' in the above sentence
