"The benefits of studying abroad are almost endless." - Michelle Obama The Lifestyle Life in London is fast-paced and dynamic. There is something always going on, and everyone is on the move to their next agenda item, either for work or pleasure. The city is alive with people, noise, and light at all hours—meaning you may not find a quiet moment very often. There is constantly something going on in the city, from markets to pop-up restaurants, to museums and sporting events. It can be overwhelming at first to find your niche, but there is certainly something for everyone!
Brits are known for their indirect communication style and self-deprecating humor. So, while the city itself is clamorous, its people tend to be more reserved and seek to avoid conflict. You’ll notice this while taking the Tube and finding no one is chatting during their commute. However, the city is incredibly multicultural, so don’t assume everyone fits into one communication style. Commuting is an integral part of life in London. The Tube moves the city, and residents are reliant on public transportation to go about London. It’s not uncommon to feel frustrated by delays or feeling overcrowded, but this is something all Londoners can relate to, and in sense, brings people together. |
