Final comments
International students should take advantage of their student IDs in order to get discounts in (museums, transportation, gymnasums...).Transportation facilities are very good and less expensive in certain hours of the day. However, the AIU will provide the new students complete infomation about london. It also organizes many trips within the UK and abroad and provides discouted tickets for some bars and restaurants .

I wish i would have known to watch your stuff more closely when travelling and to bring a hand book. Also, stuff on clubs. ALso that the food isn't so great in London.

I can give advice as to travelling.. Well you should know this anyway but don't wait until the last minute to plan something. I lost out on going to many places because by the time you decide on where to do the prices increase. Also go everywhere and anywhere that you can do. It's absolutely amazing! I lived by eating at the Texas Embassy.. I promote that place with everything i have!! Bring a rain jacket and a lot of money. Leave your blowdryer at home and buy all appliances there. It's just a waste of space bringing it and you'll only burn it out. Definitely get a pay as you go cell phone rather than a landline phone. It definitely works so much better.

Be sure when you travel, to always, always have an eye on your belongings. It only takes a quick second for everything to disappear.

Personal comments
I think my overall experience was all right;many students complained for too much pressure especially at the end of the course, but an MBA course must be hard and prepare students to manage the real job that is even harder.

Yes, it is normal that the first time you go abroad you spend more than you imagine. My experience taught me that it takes 3-4 weeks to understand the best places to address for shopping, banking, housing and so forth
