Personal recommendation:
I really liked it - especially the group I was working in was great (Liquid Crystals Reasearch Group at the Department of Chemistry). I could do my research there independent, which was a new and interesting experience for me (in germany we are normally supervised by a PhD student)



FINAL COMMENTS

I think my time in London was the best time of my studies. The only really annoying thing was to find accomodation. The best to find a flatshare is to look in the Internet on the "Student contact list" on the page of the University of London Accomodation Office.

London is very cosmopolitan and does not really give an introduction into british or english life. I recommend London as a further step into becoming really international, after having experienced one foreign culture in depth (eg French in Lyon, German in Aachen or Freiburg)
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.

FINAL COMMENTS

London by walking, look for the better deal everywhere: Eg Food on street markets, clothes in sale (up to 80% off), accomodation by charities.

Personal recommendation:
Imperial College has a very good reputation should you subsequently apply for a job. You also come across very able people there. But you have to work hard and can rely on absolutely no help (or even sympathy) from academics.



FINAL COMMENTS

Good luck! I still think I have learnt a lot there.

I have not been to other Universities as an Erasmus student, so I cannot compare. But I cannot imagine how another university could be better.



FINAL COMMENTS

I liked my studies abroad very much. But I also remember, that it was sometimes very hard. I think, it is important to try to get used to the host University as soon as possible.

If you look for a job in a restaurant or pub, do not be surprise if they make you work for free for a few nights as "trial" and then "fire" you once they do not need you longer.
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
