What are some universities in London?

I'm interested in studying in London for my undergraduate degree (I'm also looking into other schools in the UK) and I was wondering what your suggestions are.

I'll graduate with a 3.8-3.9 GPA, 1800-1900 GPA, and I've gotten all 4s and 5s on my AP exams. So, I'm not stellar, but I'd like to get into a good university (Obviously I can't get into Oxford or Cambridge with this.)

Even though it's in London, I'm still looking for at least a bit of a college experience, like... a university with a campus and good community life. I know that can be harder with big cities.

I've heard the London School of Economics is good but I don't know much about it... And that would only work if you wanted to study business.

If you have an intended major, that may help us narrow down some good schools for you.

The London School of Economics (LSE) offers bachelor's degree in law, management, economics, other social sciences (sociology, social anthropology, political science) , international relations, and some humanities subjects (e.g. history and human geography). A complete list of majors may be found here .

Imperial College London on the other hand specializes in engineering (all fields), physics, chemistry, biological sciences, mathematics and statistics, computer science, and medicine.

Finally, University College London (UCL) is a general university , offering pretty much any subject you can think of.

LSE and Imperial are very selective, especially for some particular majors, and your chances of admission are slim. I don't know about UCL though.

There are also several other less prestigious colleges in London that you might look at besides the ones I mentioned above. Please check "London Colleges" in the UK site "The Student Room".

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm interested in studying international relations. Thank you so much for your suggestions! Keep 'em coming.
