Studying abroad in London - Advice wanted!
12-30-2008, 02:08 AM
What's up guys,
I am a college student who will be studying abroad in London, England next semester (January-May). I'll be leaving in 3 weeks and I will be in Europe for nearly 5 months taking 4 classes 2 days a week. So, I will have a lot of free time. I have two goals in mind: 1) get laid as much as possible, 2) see as much of Europe as I can. While I want to visit every major country, I will be spending most of my time in London. I want to go all out this semester so for those who have been there and can give me advice I would love to hear what you guys think. From what I've read on here, it's hard to hook up with British women but London is such a big city and fuck it's Europe so I will not allow myself to make excuses for not hooking up with a woman.
One advantage I do have is that I have a friend who is European and I will be traveling with him throughout Europe on numerous trips. He knows multiple languages and will be a great wing man...our first trip looks like St. Patty's Day in Dublin, Ireland so I am hoping it will be filled with crazyness. I have facebook - don't use it as much as I used to, but I have joined a couple of London clubbing groups b/c I know clubbing is big and how hard it is to get into the top clubs.
Anything guys...comments, suggestions, cities I should hit up for most action, or advice. Pumped for the trip!

Thanks for the info. You're right - it's going to be damn expensive. I may not be able to travel as much as possible or do as many things as I've planned given the amount of money that will need to be spent. Are you talking about the Eurostar from London to Paris? I've done that once before but I forgot how much a regular coach seat costs. I do know that it takes ~ 2 hours. I'm staying at an international student living place so I want to jump on that opportunity to meet girls fast but I am a little worried about some of the clubs; it seems to be on a "who you know" basis. Hopefully some of the facebook groups I've joined can help with that. Either way, I'll still be paying out the ass for that...a good alternative is to drink at the pubs and then go to the clubs but I dunno.
Sounds like it will be an uphill battle with the European women. A bit discouraging but a fun challenge nonetheless.

I'll be staying at an international student living center close to the Kings Cross tube stop. If I don't meet people there something is wrong with me. ha
Where is Haymarket street relative to central London? I know my whereabouts somewhat but that street is unfamiliar. I definietly plan on pre-gaming to save on cash - although sometimes that makes you want to spend even more inside clubs haha
I'll be there around the end of the month so I'll probably shoot you a PM then.

Well I'm settled into the Nido place and I've met a few people. Nido hasn't really done a good job of getting students to meet other students, and I feel like a lot of people just do their own thing. I'm thinking about joining some clubs and one of the basketball leagues to meet more people. I'm still in the culture shock stage but am getting more used to life here as the days go by...do you know a lot of ppl here Eric? I'll have to give you a PM soon for a drink

Nido is not a bad place to stay for a couple months, I've met a decent amount of people but mostly Americans. We'll see how things are once school gets going this week...I'll be in Amsterdam next weekend and then I'll be back here so I'll see what your up to then

English chicks are easy but tend to regard Americans as obnoxious.
Brits calling Americans obnoxious is hypocrisy of the highest fucking order. And this is coming from a man who is neither British nor American.
Here he goes again with his anti-Brit sentiment. This is coming from a man(17yr old? just) who has never been to Britain or America.
P.S. Sorry I forgot to reply to your PM!, doing it now

Ale and bitter is what beer should be like anyway, and the British ones are the best in the world.
If only they had some decent beer in Ukraine

Highly recommend exploring different student union bars. All the big universities have them. Drinks are cheaper and the girls are generally very open. King's College London has a very nice one overlooking the river.

Can´t someone bust out a London datasheet? I bet there are many Forum members who pass through London and could use some info
Check out my posts in this thread:

Eventually I'll bust out a full-blown datasheet.
