East London is home for me I absolutely love it. The diversity of London is amazing, meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures and also the food places in London are the best, travel and transport as well allow students like me to travel in and around London stress free. Although the transport costs could be way cheaper for students I believe.

Grocery shopping is hard as there are only tesco express stores and local stores it is hard to find a proper supermarket. Transport is very easy and getting from place to place is simple. Nights out are expensive but really Fun. So many options of things you can do in your spare time it's trally great as London has something for everyone

London, being the captial has a lot to do. Be it nightclubs to days out the list is endless and it really is a great experience. The main problem with it is that it can be fairly pricey especially in central London, which is arguably the best place for a night out or a day out. Transport is easy to understand and in abundance, night buses and tubes are becoming more and more available which is great.

Wembley is very busy. Especially when events are going on. Traffic is very bad and trains can get over packed . The area itself is always under development . There are a few local shops but overall the prices in the area are above average . There is fashion designer outlet nearby but not really any good also a retail park close to the uni. Stack bucks and Costa on the way good spots to work at

London is a great place to visit for its historical, cultural and beautiful landscape. London really does have something to offer for everyone and is so vast and happening that you couldn't pick a better city in my opinion

London is an amazing city with lots to do. The creative scene is rising which makes social life and art careers exciting for the youth and young adults who are trying to arise in the art sector or media scene. The city is an expensive place to live in but it's nothing a good job can't cover, the only problem is getting the good job as the city is so populated with talented and successful individuals. Although the weather during autumn and winter can be a little off putting, summer and spring are beautiful in London which makes up for the grey skies in the end of the year. Overall, I love London and think it's an amazing place to study in.

The transport is really good, from buses to trains to trams. Food and shopping is really good especially at both westfields in white city and stratford

Nights out great both student and non student, lots of places to shop and socialise. Expensive to live in as rent is high. Transport links are good, day and night tube that isn't too expensive. Lots of festive things to do as well as markets

Excellent night life and lots of things to do and places to go during the day. Efficient and frequent transport but expensive living especially for students. Not as many (good) student friendly deals as other cities.

A busy city, but you can find quiet places if you look around a bit or know where to go. You'll quickly end up it's some staple venues for drinks and meals and nights out

London is a very exciting place to be as a student as there are a lot of options for everything; food, nights out, shops, libraries, etc. The only downside is the cost of london is much more than other places to be a student.

London is certainly a very vibrant city. There is food from over the world, from Korean to Cantonese to Mexican to Italian. Sometimes its hard to get around since the tube is expensive and always packed with people.

London is a vibrant place, many things to do. See 55 of London's greatest landmarks on a 30-minute ride on the Coca-Cola London Eye. Soar above London on the Emirates Air Line cable car. Discover the magnificent Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII's former residence. Be dazzled by the largest diamond in the world, on display at the Tower of London's Crown Jewels exhibition. Take a tour of Buckingham Palace during its summer opening, or find some wonderful royal alternatives throughout the year. Climb the dome of St Paul's Cathedral and enjoy spectacular views across London. See Egyptian mummies and the world-famous Rosetta Stone at the British Museum.

London is a buzzing city with a great nightlife and a wealth of cultural heritage. After living here for 20 years I am still constantly finding new places and events to experience. Largely, the city is an exciting environment however the contrast between regions could not be greater. There are many areas I would say are not so pleasant to visit as well as many exciting cultural bubbles to visit. The centre is highly populated which can be taxing and frustrating when travelling during the day.

Great city for young people. Very convenient with fantastic (but costly) transport links in town, in the county and internationally as well. Multiple world-class Michelin starred relatively affordable restaurants but overpriced afternoon tea. Quite walkable as well. The air and water quality is not so great. Lack of natural parks. Loads of shops and cool hip areas. Lovely museums with free entry. Never bored, numerous things to do.

London has various places to visit as a student. Entry wise clubbing can be cheap and expensive depending on the type of night; however, once inside drinks are unbelieveable expensive and put you off going again. Shopping can be done easily around london whether it is for clothing or food there are both indoor shoppoing centres like westfield or outdoor places like oxford street which i think has a wider selection of shops. Oxfordstreet can sometimes be a hassle with human traffic and can get frustrating to roam around. When in london id recommended trying different restaurants as there are many different cultural cusines available which people may have never experienced.

I love shopping in London , there are a range of different shops that sell many different items ranging from clothes to stationary to food. I also love the different variety of food shops you can choose from and the fact that there are many halal , vegan and vegetarian options.

For a foreigner, London can be a very daunting place. London could be a daunting city to live in for anybody actually due to the high cost of life and incredibly fast pace of the life in it. However, once one gets used to the rent amount, and the best times to get on the train, it is easier to see how lively the city is, especially at night, where the lights seem never to go off, especially in Central. Bars and clubs open in the oddest days of the week, allowing everyone to always enjoy some fun when needed.

getting home from a night out can be difficult so more DLR services on a Friday and Saturday. Also more student discount on transport because it's very expensive. More student friendly super markets would also be useful as it can be expensive.

The bustling streets of London create a great atmosphere for the weekend. Central London is packed with fabulous bars, shops restaurants (everything you could imagine), which offers you the perfect weekend. - there is a huge variety of restaurants, ranging from Italian to Thai. This also helps with money as you can opt for cheaper restaurants for a budget friendly evening or something for expensive for a special night out. - the choice between theatres and cinemas once again enables you to plan your evening based on money and how casual or formal your choices plans are. -

Brixton is amazing. Lots of places to eat, party and drink on nights out. The nightlife is amazing and during the day, there are loads of shops to visit such as TKMaxx, foot asylum and next. Not to mention the infamous O2 academy in Brixton.
