Student Life

You’ve undoubtedly seen the postcards: Parliament, the double-decker buses, fried eggs and beans on toast, red phone boxes on the street corners, St Paul’s Cathedral, Piccadilly Circus at night. You’ll get to experience the thrill of walking along the river Thames, taking in the breezes and perhaps a film at the National Film Theatre; a late night curry on Brick Lane after an afternoon at Spitalfields Market; or spending an evening on a pub crawl through Notting Hill experiencing the delights of Portobello Market and the cast of characters that call London home.

Adjectives abound for London: vibrant, diverse, buzzing, sweltering (yes, sometimes in the summer!), exhausting, exhilarating, antiquated, modern, political, cultural, cosmopolitan, wet (yes, very often in the winter!), historic, international, overwhelming (at times!), but most of all AMAZING. Samuel Johnson once said, ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’ With so much to see and explore, there’s no way you will tire of London.

We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities that await. Depending on what your home university’s program includes, experiencing London with EUSA means activities like our famous city-wide scavenger hunt, guided tours of the Tate Gallery and British Museum, trips to the Globe Theatre or the West End, or day trips to discover historic sites outside the city.

Part of the thrill of living in a new city is the chance to discover it for yourself – but as a EUSA student, you won’t be by yourself. Our London team is only a phone call away in case of emergency – 24 hours a day, every day.
