you seem like a really fun person to be around! this video was so helpful thank you

[@VenusAshu]

Thank you so muchhh! I really appreciate that ☺️ I'm glad I could help you out!

[@emmarobinson2582]

Omg thank you for this video. I'm thinking about going to RHUL this year and this was my biggest worry

[@VenusAshu]

Of course! I had the same concerns. Honestly 70% of the time I'm enjoying myself but OBVS there is the 30%, but I'm guessing this is just an overall issue at all unis

Same girl going this year too xx

@@VenusAshu i definitely think most places in the UK are gonna be like this regardless

[@VenusAshu]

@@miriammccook6820 Oh yeah 100% but I will say I've experienced more microaggressions and racism in Egham than in any of the bigger cities and towns that I've been or lived in.

[@PearlMinah]

It’s always good to research the ethnicity stats. Chances 🤝 not being taken

[@VenusAshu]

Yesss 100% I'm not completely certain how much the stats are for the number of black Students but I don't think it's over 10%

I am actually so scared about going there as a POC but I firmed RH. 😭😭

[@eimanelsir3603]

I’ve found this video soooo helpful as a WOC hijabi. I come from a predominantly white area and have a lot of white friends but also a lot of POC friends, so I think I’m slightly prepared for the white micro-agressions but also so excited to be a part of the POC community!

[@VenusAshu]

Awwww I'm so glad that you did🥺 and yes unfortunately it does happen but the poc Community is strong and littttt😂🤗

[@Mariamox]

Awesome video, i completely understand being cautious.

[@VenusAshu]

Thank youuu! And right? It's not that we try to, we're just naturally on edge in those situations

[@iGizmo3]

Are the POC split? Do black/brown/oriental people only associate with black/brown/oriental people, or do all the POC stick together?

[@VenusAshu]

It depends. I have a lot of friends that are all types of POC, however, I do see a lot of friend groups that are just one type.

[@keniqueunique2355]

WOW!!!!! this is the info i have been searching for! THANKS A LOT GIRL! I think I might just stick to St Mary's afterall

[@VenusAshu]
