I studied abroad in NYU London last semester, and I absolutely loved it. It was the best semester I’ve had in college so far (I’m a sophomore).

London is just an amazing city, some would say even better than New York. One of the really great things is that the drinking age in London is 18, so you can get into any bars or clubs, so the nightlife is great.

I also think it’s easier to connect to people because the campus and classes are so small, it’s almost like a small liberal arts college.

The classes are great, professors are (mostly) great, and the housing is waaaay better than nyu dorms in nyc. If you live in Nido, you’ll get a chance to connect to people from other universities who are studying in london, but the other two NYU dorms are pretty good as well. (Can’t speak for byron court, as I only went there once, but Guildford is nice and spacious. They even come and clean your room once a week. For FREE!)

Being in London, you can travel to Europe easily as well. Your Fall break will be as long as a spring break usually is, and I travelled to Dublin, Istanbul, Paris and Manchester over the course of 10 days.
