Erasmus Experience in London, United Kingdom by Rossend

Why did you choose to go to London, United Kingdom?

I chose London because I thought (and still thinking) it's a huge chance for your CV and of course to live a different experience far away of your Family.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

My scholarship is divided into two periods: January-April and September-December.

Would you recommend the city and the University of London to other students?

Absolutely!

As I said above it's an incredible experience that I recomed to everyone to live.

What is the food like?

The gastronomy in UK is not as good as in Spain. The good thing is that there are a lot of restaurants with a great diversity of worldwide food.

Did it cost you to find your accommodation in London?

It's not easy to find a proper flat in London. Moreover I know lots of cases of frauds.
Wat I recommend is to stay in a student accommodation such as LHA for a while and once you are in London try to find a good shared-flat.

How much does it cost to live in London?

around GBP 700 (if you're lucky)

Is the language easy to get to grips with? Are there language courses available at the University?

yes
