Transportation is good to an extent because you can be fully mobile without a car but maaaateeeee THE PRICES WILL HURT YOUR WALLET FR FR. brace yourself. . London is pretty. Museums and art galleries are free (mostly). Enjoy them . Food is great. Find good food for less so you can stress less . Shopping is great, loads of stores do student discounts as well, which is great . Value for money - once you step outta your house you're losing cash. no cap. be ready for it .­ Because living in London is soooo expensive, when you're applying for jobs make sure you're getting PAIIIIDDD b/c tax rates are high, cost of living is high, transport cost is high, so you gotta think ahead. . Accommodation: lol on a level it's expensive as is the city's way. share with friends you can stand if you can, living at home is even better if you can stand living with your fam .‚

Great nightlife, always something to do and always new places to discover. There are a lot of things in place for students such as student events and discounts. It's slightly more expensive than other cities but you're getting an experience you won't be able to gain anywhere else.

London is great! There is always something new to do is this fast paced city!! However, it's not for everyone; if you like quietness and countryside, this is not your place. If you are a city person instead, London is the best city to live in. Restaurants? Cichetti in Picadilly is the best Italian and Jinjuu in Soho the tastiest Korean! For a cocktail go to Sketch in Mayfair and in sunny days choose Aqua rooftop in Regents st! Transport works great but it is expensive! The best deal is paying monthly and if you are a student don't forget to register in TFL to get a 30% of disccount. Oxford st is the most crowded st for shopping, so if you wanna take a break from seeing all those people, just go to King's Rd in Chelsea or Westfield shopping centre in White City. If you are very into fashion and high end brands, Selfridges, Dover st market, harrods, harvey nichols and New Bond st will make you feel like you are on your element!

London is a great city partly because it is a big city. There are not too many aspects that would set it apart from other major cities such as New York or Beijing. Although I love London for the accessibility of materialistic goods it's transportation system bothers me slightly. Sure it gets you where you need to go at reasonable speeds, but it does not do so comfortably. There is no AC, it is very crowded, and it does not make you feel too safe either.

I am born and raised in London but chose to stay home for university to save money. London is a great city as there is plenty to do and see. Loads of bars, clubs, restaurants and attractions, however as a student it can be a little expensive at times. My favourite thing to do is eat, so I'm always looking for quirky restaurants to taste foods from all over the world. London is the best place to find these because there is soo much diversity here. I love London, London is my home.

Really good transport links, plenty areas to go for city life and nights out, Shoreditch is excellent for uni students. Loads of places to visit for shopping like Westfields, Croydon, Wimbledon. Food prices can vary greatly but often good value for the price. Always different activities happening to get involved with. Travel can be pricey and adds up but deffo worth it.

London is a great city to experience. I wouldn't want to live here for the rest of my life, but it's been amazing to be able to live here for a few years. Although everyone complains, the transport system is pretty incredible. If you're travelling within Zone 1, it's much nicer to walk between places, particularly around the river. There's always so much to do and see, on every night of the week, and some great websites/apps available to find some deals and make it more affordable. The big drawback is unfortunately the cost, trying to do anything spontaneous is normally costly so planning is essential to find deals and offers. Would definitely recommend experiencing it for a short period of time.

There's a huge variety of places to try global cuisine. From Lebanese to Vietnamese you can always find something new to try. Transport links are second to none. The tube is convenient and reasonable. Clubs are everywhere, and most are open on weekdays so you can always count on a night out.

London is great as there is always something to do. From free museums to bougie restaurants there's something for everyone. It is expensive so I'd say be prepared if you plan on going to uni in London. However the experience is worth it!!

There is everything you can think of in London, but it can be pricey, and things take quite long to get to.

Many many things to look forward to in London, from going out to eat in places of different cuisines, to activities such as golfing which give out student discount as well! The city is full of surprises every street you walk down and there is always something new to do if you're looking to explore. Many sight seeing places as well which are free to enter such as sky gardens and the Tate modern. This is great for students and those who are on a budget. There's a lot of entertainment going on as well such as theatre musicals for Aladdin, lion king, Matilda and many more. These are perfect for a date night or a day out with friends! With loads of restaurants surrounding the theatres, you're deffo in for a good night out. With winter wonderland opening it's doors every winter at Hyde park, this Christmas vibe in London just feels fantastic!

An amazing place to be; vibrant, full of life- full of people. You're never alone and will never feel lonely with so much to do and see! Super fast transport and so many student clubs and bars and prices. Expensive rent- but mostly worth it

Loads of areas to visit, whatever you need there is a 90% chance you'll find it in London. It's a city which can have all your shopping needs down one road. The only downside to London is the traffic, rush hour being the worst time of the day. Just make sure to get out early.

Beautiful city. Easy to get lost in but once you find yourself, its a surround to remember. Nights may be worrying but public transport always keeps you safe

Value for money is quite low given the expensive nature of the city. Despite this, there is much to do and many good bars, clubs and shopping centres. In London you're truly spoilt for choice!

London is a bright light city , full of fun and entertainment! It's quite expensive but regardless if you're not doing something unexpected, you're seeing something unexpected!

The transport is amazing. Theres plenty of places to eat although it is very expensive. Tips are also added to the bill automatically at most places. Shops open late. Very expensive place to be but worth it if you like to be busy or have things available to you almost 24 / 7.

Living in London is very eventful. There is always something to do every weekend or night whether you want a wild or calm night out. It is full of many people from different cultures which makes it so unique and comfortable as we are able to learn from eachother and not let simple things keep us apart.
