Are you talking about the Royal College of Music (RCM) or the Royal Academy of Music?

It looks like Princeton has a program with RCM. One semester in London during Junior year, with the option to return after graduation to do a performance master's at RCM.

Program to allow Princeton students to attend Royal College of Music - 1/14/2008 - Princeton Weekly Bulletin

RCM is a fantastic school. For strings, it is probably the best in the UK, and it is a major "producer" of top-notch violinists.
