Personal comments
Please do make sure to eat. Some students are such sticks when the return back home to their home country!
Tip: DONT overspend. the banks seem to attract you with their overdraft facilities, but dont fall into the trap. Dont use up the overdraft to the bitter end...I had to pay back my overdraft and it was painful! So pls..dont overspend..dont go out to much! (ok kinda hard...but at least try not to spend too much!)

Academic
Course recommendations
I took biomedical sciences. So i more or less could chose the courses I like during the second and final years.
Chose the courses YOU will find interesting and that you like. This will make you achieve the top grades.
Also make sure you always interact w/ the course organisers. They will always help you with the courses and give you tips for sure (and hey...its not sliming ok?):)

Personal comments
It is hard to get accomodation (especially in London) after the first year. You will be guaranteed a place in the first year only. This is the problem with accomodation in London, as it is in the city. Another problem is the cost. One advantage, is being in the city and being able to go around (eg no problem w/ getting home late at night).
