...not listening to a couple friends and doing a semester abroad in London, England. i'll admit it's tempting.. but there's too much not going for that place, right? shit weather, shit people, shit all to do.....is there even any diversity there? or is everybody pretty much like i've been lead to believe, ie: ordinary sad stiffs that care too much about football/cricket, tea, weird fetishes, and wank cars? i'd only do it for the "experience". i also hope to keep my perfect track record in not meeting any of you there in real life. thanks for the opinions...if any

i think doing it for the experience outweighs all of those possible negatives. you'll look back on it and not regret, i'm betting.

Don’t do it. There’s enough yanks here already creaming themselves about anything over 200 years old, plus a little shoe plusher like you wouldn’t last the week in the world’s most famous city. You’d be bleeding from your hoop within hours.

Take your canoe, tons of opportunity to get stranded in the middle of Thames Estuary.

i'd bet money that the last place anyone thinks of when someone says 'london' is one of those places

the novelty of old buildings lasts all of a few seconds once i see it. i'd make that city mine by the first night, shit. thanks for advice that runs parallel to your personality anyway...can you guess what that is?

That looks tempting... I'd do it. My university has an exchange deal with Hull and a few other UK schools that just don't look like a lot of fun... I'd rather go to London and get blown up by brown people

it'd be more tempting if i didn't have so much to look forward to/going on right now. for me the cons out weigh the pros doing a semester abroad. i still have some time to decide but i'm leaning on declining right now.

Yes, say this repeatedly and report back with the results.
