1. Get involved with the university
Join clubs and societies that align with your interests. This is the best way to meet people and make the most of your time in the college 2. Be aware of your surroundings Be careful for pickpockets and keep updated with the news to know what's going on in the area 3. Take advantage of London's central location. It's relatively cheap and quick to fly to other countries from London. During the semester, I was able to travel to 10 different countries 4. Be comfortable with the uncomfortable Not everything will go smoothly while studying abroad. You can't prepare for everything that is going to happen, and that's okay. These are opportunities to learn to be adaptable to situations and build tenacity. 5. Be curious and open-minded Trying new things make up the best experiences. It's eye opening to realize that your norm, isn't the norm everywhere else. 6. Start your assignments early Roehampton's system gives you independence to study on your own time and work on the final assignment at your own pace. Take advantage of this to work on your assignments slowly throughout the semester so that you don't have to cram at the end of the semester. 7. Visit all the markets This is where you can get the best vintage finds and foods! 8. Explore places outside of the main city It's fun to visit the main cities when you travel to other countries, but you'd be surprised to see the places less traveled. Some of my favorite places I visited are actually areas outside of the main city. 9. Walking is the best way to get around the city I much prefer walking than taking public transportation, because you experience and observe so much more when you're outside walking around the city. Some cities like Barcelona or Paris is a relatively walk-able city. 10. Have fun!
