Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a first-year Social Sciences student at King’s College London, and studying here has been an incredible experience so far! King’s offers the perfect mix of academic excellence and city life—one moment you’re in a lecture, and the next, you’re exploring London’s amazing food scene, cycling along the Thames, or visiting a museum just minutes from campus.
Outside of my studies, I love cycling (the best way to see the city!) and cooking Asian fusion dishes, always experimenting with new flavours. Living in London means endless opportunities to try new cuisines, meet people from all over the world, and immerse yourself in different cultures. It’s such a dynamic and inspiring place to study.
If you’re considering studying at King’s or just want to know more about student life in London, feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat and share my experience!

Hiya! I'm Javon :)
Originally from Hong Kong, I've been living in the UK for about 2 years now. I'm a live-in student in University College (Castle), doing a flexible (and really cool!) Combined Honours course in Social Sciences, combining Politics, IR, Human Geography, Sociology, and learning French.
Ask me anything about my course, college life, or just share any of your questions or concerns! #heretohelp

I am currently studying towards a PhD in History focusing on food culture as an expression of identity in diaspora communities in the UK. I hope to move in to teaching after that though I am also interested in getting involved in areas of social policy so am keen to see where my project takes me. Before returning to education I worked for over 10 years in the sales environment selling a range of products to both public and private sector clients.

I am currently reading Social Sciences, but I have quite a history with Maths, Economics, and Psychology! I really like cooking and baking, as well as film - so maybe I'll work in one of those fields some day :)

At SOAS there are so many societies to join and fun events to attend even if you aren’t part of the society. I enjoy travelling and trying new places to eat around London with my friends. Central London has such a variety of restaurants and activities so you can never be bored.
