Personal comments
English is not English everywhere in the world. There are some British phrases that are different than American ones. I visited family in Italy, and when they asked me how to say something in English, I started to get confused myself. Londoners are tight-lipped and do not care to speak to strangers, so becoming friends is rare. They also like to schedule a lot, so do not expect a "yes" when you randomly invite them to dinner or a movie. Most of my friends were American, and most of our British friends...we couldn't read too well whether they enjoyed our company or not. But after a few months, you can feel them out. The worst is the "British face" (that's my word for the expression they give when they are disgusted with something). It's the face someone gives when they pull a huge bowl of molded leftovers out of their refridgerator. It just...ouch...it's a look that will sting you because they when they give it, they are giving it in response to YOU. It...oh gosh...it hurts! To this day, I don't know how to respond when they give that look.

Personal recommendation
If you always wanted to experience life in London - go for it (you can reach downtown London in about 15-25 min. by train). But be sure to have sufficient funds availbale as living costs (esp. if you want to travel, go out, see some of the sights, etc.) are quite high.

Overall
When I started university in London I was amazed by the level of diversity in both teachers and students. The fact that some many different backgrounds were present in the classroom made everything more interesting. Every lecture so far has been meaningful because of the effort put by not only teachers but also support services at the university. Beside academic development, I gained interpersonal skills.
I learnt that there is so many manners to see things and so much that I have to discover and I believe that the only way to achieve it is by exposing myself to new environments.
