Overall
I wish I had known...
try to get to know some local students, don't just stick with the exchange group from your home country--it is very easy to fall into the trap.

Personal comments
I like the proximity of the college to London Proper, it really allowed me time to explore but at the same time to get away....don't recall pub names though am a big fan of the museums, especially the art (free) and the hidden eateries like the Wren of St. James--great lunch deals.

Academic
Course recommendations
I would recommend taking at least one class not tailored to the exchange student, they tend to be more work but allow you more access to the local student population and a taste of what the college is really like.

Personal comments
As much as i enjoyed the experince there was not much of a true campus and the school resources where limited--like computers, gym etc. but it forced you to get out into the local community and check out the local library etc.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I thought living with a family made the experience as the couple i lived with had in depth knowledge of the area and some really great stories. It was also nice to have someone to turn to if need be.
