University of Aberdeen

How insular and closed in the aberdeen university community was.

Although this university may suit other caucasian students on brief exchange(ERASMUS).I would strongly recommend african/Black/Asian students to stay away.The lecturers and students seemed to be caught up in a time warp and carried some nasty stereo types of black people.A minor incident may illustrate the mindset; The final year students held a going away party,invite everyone else bar the 3 ethnic minority students.Then they have the gall to hang up the pics all over the department! Most of the computer science seemed to carry some visceral hatred(fear) of black people.This prevented the establishment of any meaningfull rapport between student and lecturer.The other students seemed to take cue from their lecturers.2 words STAY AWAY.

I felt my department lacked enough qualified staff.

I found most of the lecturers were insular and xenophobic bigots.Who still held a " early 20th century mentality" on the intellectual abilities of black/african students, Fellow students seemed to take cue from their lecturers.Overseas students only 2 words come to mind, STAY AWAY.
