One of the friendliest places to study - it's official

5 June 2006

Academic excellence, a happening social scene, an enviable location…now Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has another attraction to add to its list: it's also one of the friendliest places to study in the UK.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê 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. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê 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 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's and is based almost entirely on one site. Manchester Metropolitan University took the top slot, followed by Newcastle and Brighton.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's high ranking was no surprise to Vice Provost Michael Worton: "Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê prides itself on being a welcoming and inclusive, as well as an academically excellent, university. I am regularly told by students studying at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê who come from all over the world how delighted they are at making new, lasting friendships here at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê."
