We\u2019ve asked our 2022-23 Peer Advisors to say hello and share more about studying in London and abroad. Expect to hear more from them throughout the year!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Selfie<\/p>\n

Hello, my name\u2019s Raza, and I am one of your Global Mobility Peer Advisors for the 2022\/23 academic year!\u00a0A little bit about me: I\u2019m in my third year studying BA Social Sciences and for my study abroad experience I completed a semester at the National University of Singapore!<\/p>\n

Prior to this experience I had never really travelled before, so I was excited but also a bit nervous. But I am so glad I went as I had the most fantastic time. From studying in a completely different academic environment to making new friends from all over the world, I have grown so much as a person and made the best memories along the way.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an incoming or outgoing exchange student, as I have done the exchange process, I can understand how you\u2019re feeling! Whilst it may feel scary, we are here to help in any way we can. I can\u2019t wait for you to have the best time!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few words of wisdom I have for incoming exchange students:<\/strong><\/p>\n

King’s has a large and vibrant student community; what better way to integrate yourself than joining a society! I really recommend checking out the KCL Badminton society! Or if you like to boogie, I recommend checking out King\u2019s own student bars, The Vault or Guy’s Bar.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I recommend getting a student 18+ Oyster card as this will give you a discount on travel costs when using Transport For London. If you want to check out places outside of London, I recommend getting an 18-25 rail card as this will save you a lot of money on train tickets!<\/p>\n

Last but by no means least, I recommend you check out a play in London\u2019s West End. My favourite is Wicked.\u00a0 Download the app TodayTix<\/a> for last minute cheap tickets! (I promise this not a sponsored ad, aha). You can also get really cheap standing tickets at Shakespeare\u2019s Globe Theatre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy your time abroad as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Take care,
