New to town? How to think like a Londoner
London is unlike any other city in Britain in its size, and the world in its character. Its residents are famous for certain quirks and (what might loosely be called) charms. Though greatly exaggerated, these stereotypes are not without some truth and the key to living in London without being blinded by the ‘Big Smoke’ is thinking like a city native.
Rep Elections
Students' Union UCL works to ensure that students are represented across all levels of decision making at UCL. There are more than 2,000 student representatives at UCL including Academic Reps, Student Officers, Sabbatical Officers, Student Trustees, Hall Reps and Activities Reps.
