Study with students from all over the world!

Life in London

London is truly one of the most dynamic and exciting cities in the world, offering students an unparalleled environment in which to live and study. Whether your interest is art and theater, politics and economics, or film and music, it can all be found in abundance. Lying close to the center of London in Bloomsbury and within easy reach of the West End, UCL is able to cater to a variety of tastes in culture, social life and sport. UCL students have the best of both worlds; all the fun and excitement of a bustling, busy city existence, with the peace and tranquility of parks close at hand. Despite its large student body, UCL occupies a relatively compact area within the university quarter of London in a peaceful setting of academic and professional institutions.

Housing and Meals

Partner students are responsible for making housing and meal arrangements independently. Housing at UCL is primarily in student halls and houses, the majority of which are within a few minutes walk of campus. UCL Halls of Residence, along with Intercollegiate Halls, are catered, providing breakfast and dinner, while Student Houses offer self-catered flats. The accommodation typically takes the form of single or shared study-bedroom. UCL guarantees housing to all full-year study abroad students who have been admitted and have submitted an application for accommodation. Students who come for less than a full year will be considered for housing, but it cannot be guaranteed. Assistance is provided for students wanting private accommodation.
