I plan on moving to the UK in October. I have a friend already living there, attending Uni. She says that people on her course assume she is dumb (bc of being american?) and are shocked/annoyed when she gets answers correct or whatever.
I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this in Uni?
Also, in general, how do people in the UK, and specifically London, act towards Americans? (in your experience)
Thanks!
I have never really experienced anything which could even remotely been construed as being negative on account of my nationality and I've been here for 10 years now. My accent is a great ice breaker, and is an easy conversation starter with strangers - which actually is a really useful tool as I find Brits are much more reserved with strangers than Americans.
I really don't think anyone genuinely cares that I'm American. Yes, sometimes people might throw in a cheeky comment (usually about guns, healthcare or circumcision), so I guess you might struggle a bit if you're one to take those comments personally. I see it as banter and it's usually in good jest and I throw it back to those redcoats. ;)
