Tomoko wears jacket by Lee, body by Diesel, skirt by PPQ and belt by G-star

Name: Tomoko Suzuki Age: 24
Country: Japan Studying: Fine Art at London Metropolitan University

Vice: Your name sounds a bit like Tomohawk, my all-time favourite weapon. How are you liking university in the UK?

Tomoko: I like my teachers and the students, but I’m not happy with my course. I want to concentrate on photography. I also miss my family and my dog but the music here makes up for that. I love Placebo. I bought their CD in 1996 and I saw them at the Brixton Academy when I was 16.

Claudia wears T-shirt by Zoo York, jeans by Gsus, shoes by Vans and sunglasses by Oakley

Name: Claudia Gambal Age: 23
Country: Italy Studying: MA in Media Curating at LCC

Vice: Why come to dirty old London after beautiful Italy?

Claudia: I used to live in Rome. It was nice but boring. Now I live in Camden and it is more interesting. I live with my boyfriend and lots of Italians all together in a small flat. It is always crazy and there is always something going on but I would like to move to Old Street. I go to many parties there. I am scared that it might be dangerous to live there, though.

Flavie wears cardigan by Paul Smith, shirt by Fred Perry and jeans by Wrangler 

Name: Flavie Jaubert Age: 22
Country: France Studying: European Cultural Studies at UCL

Vice: What made you choose London over anywhere in the world?

Flavie: I didn’t! My teacher chose for me. I’m grateful now, though. I originally applied to Brighton because I wanted to be in the same city as Nick Cave.

Bummer. So what’s next after the whole Brighton let-down?

I have been invited to come back to UCL as a teacher.

Hanne wears hoodie by Adidas

Name: Hanne Cecilie Nilsen Age: 25
Country: Norway Studying: Art, History and Philosophy at Goldsmiths

Vice: Wow. You do Art, History AND Philosophy. What do you get up to when you’re not thinking about the past and the beauty that man has, over the centuries, wrought by his own hand?

Hanne: I like to go and look for cool clubs, like in the East End. But everything shuts very early. In Norway, everything is open until 3 AM at the earliest but that might have something to do with it being dark the whole time.

Julie wears dress by Adidas

Name: Julie Monin Age: 27
Country: France Studying: Music at Goldsmiths

Vice: How is studying music? Does having to study it make you hate it?

Julie: No, not at all. I like all aspects of the course here. I did arts administration for a year and I hated that but now I study and work in music.

Where do you work?

At a world music label. My dream is to become a recording artist and tour the world playing music. I love travelling. I never get homesick, just sick of home.
