My experience overall in London has been great and has helped me grow a lot as a person. We never run out of things to do, and love the area we live and go to school in (Kensington and Chelsea). The housing itself has taking some getting used to (pretty small dorms and the communal spaces have been hard to live and eat in), but for how safe I feel in the area, it works fine and is manageable for our 3 month program. Classes are challenging but interesting! No classes on Friday’s is huge and let us travel a lot. Classes are 3.5 hours long but worth the Friday’s off! I wish we were on a campus like some other programs!
My favorite to do especially now that it has gotten warmer out is go on walks and stop by cafes or markets for a small snack and coffee! We literally cannot run out of new coffee shops to go to here so I have been loving trying as many as I can. I also have to say I have really appreciated the Oyster cards and amazing transportation system in London because we can truly get to any part of the city we want to so efficiently. London is honestly a wonderful place to live and study in and has taught me how to be super independent!
