Pret e Manger was a great little cafe. I would highly reccomend going to see various plays in London. Theater is absolutely fantastic and the quality of acting is incredible. I would also reccomend going to the Tower of London. Make sure you go on the tour! The tour guides are very good.

I never lived in housing provided by SOAS. But I had friends that did. They said the housing was good and it was close to the univeristy but the area (Kings Cross) wasn't very safe.

I would reccomend looking into the structure of coureses before deciding on a Masters program. For the MSc Development Studies program course work counted for only 20% of the total grade.

Commentaire personnel
There is too much pressure put on students that have to write 80% or 100% exam finals. There needs to be a compulsory course offered on how to relieve exam stress/anxiety and on how to study for these exams.

Language and communication wasn't a problem because the languag of median was English. All the students and professors spoke good English.

Si j'avais su
Sometimes it's difficult to understand the various accents in London - it's okay to ask people to repeat themselves as long as you don't do it too much. People in London don't smile at strangers or in general - if you do people will think you're strange. Most people won't make eye contact with you on the street unless they know you. Before travelling to different areas in London find out safety information.

Recommandation personnelle
A more even weighting needs to be implemented for exams, essays and participation. For example 50% final exam, 30% essays, and 20% participation. Other than that, the university atmosphere is wonderful. The professors reflect the diversity in the classroom. SOAS has a great academic and student atmosphere!

When in London do as much travelling around Euroope as you can! Most countries are close by. If you fly first consult secondary airlines like Ryan Air. You can also take buses and the Eurotrain to visit countries. A visit to Spain, France and Italy are a MUST!

The cost of living in London is very high. This is only worsened by the poor exchange rate for the Candian Dollar (2.5CDN = 1GBP)!

Commentaire personnel
ATMs in London have times where they are closed! It is VERY DIFFICULT to get money from ATMs on Fridays! Get your money in advance! Don't convert or you won't survive! When in Rome live like the Romans. It's probably a good idea to make lunch rather than buying it - that will save you a lot of money. Taking the bus is cheaper than taking the tube - although less convenient.
