A university, on the other hand, is a school of arts, science, engineering, medicine, law, business, etc. Basically, university >>> college  If someone says he wants to go to college, you are supposed to look at him in odd ways and look down to him :D | ||

I think Biff the Understudy is also from France and studying in England so you should definitely pm him as he seems to be a pretty cool guy! | ||

It really depends on how busy you will be at univ. I was 17 when I left my family to study and was very excited about it. The problem is that I was studying in maths prep school ("prépa" in France). I had 36 hours of class + around 20 hours of homework and revising per week. That meant I would have really enjoyed to have my mum do laundry, cleaning and cooking, as I didn't have much time to handle this myself. What was nice is that everyone in my residence was in the exact same situation, and that was very helpful because it's almost impossible to work when 80% of people living in your residence are lazy students who party everynight. If you are not studying in a section that requires a lot of class / homework, you're gonna love your newly acquired freedom. You can sleep whenever you want, play as much brood war as you want, eat junk food without your mum reminding you that it's bad for health etc. But don't play too much video games and eat to much fast food. Try to do sports, it's really important. I didn't and I regret. (I think that's more general advice that is given in almost any TL college advice thread lol) Maybe you could have told us more precisely what you will study in London. I love my parents, but I've never feel any problem to live far from them. I think that's very personal though. I went to work in China after I graduated lol. question 2 : I don't live in London but have been there once. And I think Uncle Avi in Snatch describes it very well : "fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON." Sorry, not very helpful. gl hf ! | ||

For the other things like pubs i guess I have to wait and see where I live and what the area's like. I'm gonna be living in Three Colts Lane for this first year, so if u know the area if u could tell me wat it's like, also advertising that any TLers in the area, i'd love to meet up and maybe do an improptu mini-lan once im settled ^_^ There are lots of dojos for kendo in london, most of the big universities have one and you don't need to be a student at the uni to join either. You're probably not going to find a cheap cinema in london, although you might be able to get deals on student cards or from certain mobile phone providers. 1. My uni is 5 minutes bike from my house. 2. Check the UK threads in the TL community forum. | ||

 Girls you just stumble upon :p u can meet them anywhere ^_^ Edit: It'd be really cool to meet some of you TLers from London maybe I'll get some friends that are passionate about SC for once in my life (I have lived 19 long years of SC loneliness by being the ONLY one in my surroundings interested in SCBW and the proleague T_T) | ||
