Overview
London is the most popular destination for international students in the UK, offering unrivalled access to industry, culture, and a truly global community. With 40+ universities, students can find specialist institutions for virtually every discipline. The city is expensive by UK standards — rent is the biggest cost — but part-time work opportunities and London's career connections often offset this. North American students consistently rate London highly for ease of transition, given its similarities to New York or Toronto in pace and cosmopolitanism.
