I want to do a lot of traveling throughout Europe. Is this possible on the London program?


London is a wonderful city from which it is relatively simple and cheap to travel to the rest of Europe. Exposure to all that Europe has to offer is worth pursuing. However, a balance needs to be found between travel and living (and studying!) in London: this may be the only real chance you have to live in a foreign county and get truly involved and immersed in a different culture. Too much time spent traveling and seeing sights abroad instead of getting to know people in London will invariably result in regrets at the end of your stay – we have ample evidence of this from past participants.

If you take advantage of all that London and the United Kingdom have to offer while living there, it will remain a ‘second home’ to you.

There has been terrorist activity in London recently. Is it unsafe to study there?


No one can ever guarantee a student’s safety on a study abroad program. In general, however, we have found that as long as students prepare themselves by reading pre-departure materials, attending all recommended or required orientations, and remaining vigilant while overseas, it is rare that they experience safety or security problems.

Although we cannot ensure the safety of anyone on our program, policies are in place for emergencies. Please visit the ‘Safety & Security’ section, which explains the measures our office has in place prior to an emergency, and the steps it takes in the case of an emergency.

We understand that this topic is very important to both students and their parents, so if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office. We would be happy to speak with you and to answer any questions you may have.

What kinds of student services will I have access to while in London?

*The University of London Senate House Library. Students enrolled in London Metropolitan University courses will also have access to their library.
*The Gower Street Clinic for routine medical care.
