Regent's American College London

In general, I would say they are rather boring. Take classes you are interested in and have a lot of field trips. Otherwise lectures are quite dry and boring, and classroom seating pretty uncomfortable.

There's not really any "local" students. Regent's is kind of weird, there's 3 schools there. Mostly, the school is comprised of the American study abroad students, and the european business students. The europeans there come from VERY wealthy families (it's an expensive school by european standards). the ones you manage to get to know will probably be quite interesting, but most are snobbish and have coke problems (not joking). When i was there there were 2 saudi princesses and a russian model just to name a few. Most of them drive Porsches and BMWs, one even came in a Lamborghini on occasion. It's pretty ridiculous.

take a theatre class---you get to go to a variety of plays for free. also civilization of london you go on a field trip every week, it saves a lot of money. i thought my art class would be fun but it wasn't.

all of the papers and tests are at the end of the semester rather than having assignments throughout so the end can be a little stressful. a lot of americans hung out with americans, but if you make the effort you can meet international students.

Palaces and Country Houses is a really popular course that includes field trips to various places. Contemporary London Theatre is an awesome class that includes trips to see 7 or so really good shows that you might not otherwise see on your own.

Overall, I think the school does a great job of making sure you actually learn something, while at the same time acknowledging that you're going to be very busy with traveling, etc.

If you can take Professor Hurst for English lit. courses, definitely do so. And if you want to go to about 9-10 plays for free, take Contemporary London Theatre.

I only wish there were more computers available on campus...or that they made internet access ready dorms.

when I went there there were only two courses available for us, shakespeare and french literature, but now they're adding international business courses.

no...

Soooooooooooooo easy!
