My London Center experience was one I will never forget! The London Center allows for you to have an amazing experience, because you come in contact with so many different people; take advantage of it!
When I lived there, I spent a lot of time with the people in my group, which is good, but I wish I had branched out a little more when it came to meeting people from the area. When you do this, you also get the "inside" scoop on the cool places to hang out and the best places to eat, so I really recommend talking to locals.
Be prepared to miss your family, friends, and boyfriend/girlfriend, but at the same time, this is a once in a lifetime chance so live it up!
You should also try not to plan too much ahead of time as far as trips, it is more fun to wait and see who's going where and when so you can travel in groups!
When you are preparing to leave, just remember, you will be buying a lot there so don't bring so much you can't get it all back, and it is true about the weather most of the time so be prepared for rain and clouds!
Have fun, take pictures, and don't let anything hold you back from making this the best experience of your life!
