London

Good place to study, lots to do and lovely friendly people. There are so many universities across London specialising in a plethora of different subjects with a diverse demographic and the culture in and around is fantastic. There are lots of places to eat out and visit in your free time. So many shops and different areas to explore. You can see shows and performances in one of countless theatres across the capital and it’s definitely a place for someone who wants a lot to choose from.

There is always something to do in London, always somewhere to go and someone to hang out with. It’s an incredible city which accepts you for being you. The city never sleeps. So why should you?

I stayed in the Tottenham Court Road area, close to Soho's nightlife and restaurants. Excellent transport links, nightlife ends early, great selection of pubs. Nearby is Chinatown for reasonably priced Chinese food, available at all hours.

The best city in the UK for nightlife, restaurants, entertainment and eating out. Recommend London for student life. Always something to do.

Loving this city so much, I don't even want to leave. Although Londoners always lament on the high cost of living, it's still the best in term of transport network, food and entertainment options. Having lived here for 4 years already, being spoilt by the night views, amazing food from worldwide, and the shopping paradise, I don't think I would be able to survive if I were to live outside London.

London is a paradise for all theatre-goers, nightlife-lovers, canal-walkers, art-junkies, foodies and in general anyone who appreciates the beautiful, the historical and the cultural - and that is a well-known fact. The biggest drawbacks of London are: 1) the cost of living - whatever you earn, you spend 2) the life-work balance - you are expected to be available online off the clock (all work, no play) 3) housing - accommodation standards can be very poor indeed: box rooms without windows are not hard to spot on Gumtree, rental agencies can let weeks go by before repairing a broken boiler, rat and/or bedbug infestations do occur in London's many flats - flats, incidentally, which can only be purchased via leasehold, not via freehold - a very British anomaly) Like all major metropolises, London is a city that can be enjoyed if you have a stable, high-paying job that leaves you the time off you need to pop down the V&A on weekends. If you are trapped in a minimum-wage job, have to work double shifts to make ends meet and live in zone 4, ten-miles away from the nearest attraction, then you might as well live in Coventry.

Everything you could ever need is right on your doorstep and never far away. Such a diverse place to live, very busy and life is always hectic. Beautiful but exceedingly expensive!

London is always busy! There's so much to do and something for whatever you're in the mood for - however, just because it's available for you doesn't mean it'll be cheap!

Lots of things to do, loads of places to wat and a variety of places for quiet nights out and a couple of drinks or to go all out and go clubbing.

Coming from a proper countryside village to London for Uni was always my dream and it didn’t disappoint. Obviously London is expensive but theirs so many ways to be clever about it all, junkyard gold for example is one of the funkiest places I’ve ever been and if you go between Sunday and Thursday students get 50% off so it’s only £6.25!!!! Also there are so many free things from the obvious galleries and museum like the Tate and the V&A theirs also Gods own Junkyard a place dedicated to all things neon which is so cool and FREE. If you look about there is ALWAYS something going on in London, it truly is the city that doesn’t sleep and I miss it when I’m away.

So much to do, lots of activities , nightlife , eating out the list is endless . Public transport is amazing, if you like fast pace places you’d love london

Absolutely buzzing with life even at night. Especially in Central. Transport is great and cheap. No shortage of shops or places out to eat. Can be a bit expensive though.

Personally i think my city is really good with the value for money of the food nights out and shopping it could be better but the city is really good overall too.

London is a fantastic city . Easily the most multicultural city in the world . So many different sights , cultures & things to do . There are many landmarks in London and they have a great history to it. However, the city is polluted.

Food is quite expensive, but there isn't any city like London for various reasons. You'll learn to love it and dislike bits of it slightly - but it's easy to avoid mostly!

London is notorious for being exciting and having a lot to do. It doesn’t disappoint. There’s so much to do, and it’s so easy to get around. It’s really difficult to get lost, even though the city is so large, because everything is connected. There are countless clubs and hot spots, although the high-end club scene can be slightly prejudice. There is an abundance of restaurants with food from across the world. You’ll never be bored in London.

The food is the best thing in my opinion about London, there’s a large variety of different cuisines, shopping is easy to do because of the number of malls and shopping areas. The commute around London is very easy to do, with great transport links making it easy to get from one place to another. The only negative is the area can be pricey for students

Expensive but hard to get bored in London if you have the money. Good travel links but always busy! Spoiled for options for nights out but again pretty expensive unless you get to know the good places for happy hours around each neighbourhood. Soho and Chinatown is a must if you’re a foodie.

London is an amazing place to live. I believe thought that nights out could be more fun if clubs and bars could stay open longer than 2 am. You can find restaurants easily and the transport is very good. Uber, buses and trains are in good service mostly. You can also find many events to take part on. Thank you

Cosmopolitan city with a Wide variety of cuisines to enjoy. From Singaporean to Italian to Russian and Sri Lankan, the food scene in London has all your food cravings covered. Always bustling and lively, get ready to soak up all the atmosphere around here.

London, the capital of diversity and culture in the UK is the centre for all people regardless of background. Great night outs in central London topped off with the endless array of cultural food all across the city. Camden lock known for it's great market atmosphere and exquisite food and at nights it magically turns to a hectic hub for social networking, meet ups and fun in general.

The city is dead by midnight except for a few clubs. The mass transit is good but expensive and very limited late at night. Overall, a very expensive city, lacking a true culture as it is more of an urban sprawl.

Brilliant place to study, fantastic and world renown universities. Always something new and exciting going on.

In London there are lots of things to do. During the day, you have quaint, yet affordable coffee shops with friendly staff. In addition to this if you don't like sitting down, you can venture into one of the many parks or try an escape room. Or if you like sonething a little bit more fancy you can dine at the top of the shard or sky garden; which takes dining with a view to another level. The food in London is also quite nice: you do have to know where to go though because London is so big choice is too however that doesn't mean everywhere is great. However the value for money is there.
