Personal comments
As far as the Business Internship, we very rarely saw our advisor and when we did he wasn't interested in our work. I thought it was horrible that he expected us to write a ten page paper over our internship and meet his standards, when we didn't even know what his standards were.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would have liked to be closer to Central London, so an apartment would probably be the best choice.

Personal comments
The University was very old and historic. The campus was very beautiful but the dorms could have been better. I think coming from the U.S. we expect "state of the art" accommodations, and when we have to stay in a place other than that we get discoraged. Overall, the university was very accommodating to the exchange students.

Piccadily Circus! On the weekends their are thousands of people out shopping in the central part of London. It's the best place to hang out day or night.
