<p>I actually spent my sophomore year in London, but not at a British school. My university owns a house where we lived and took all our classes, most of which were taught by British professors. Our house was right across the street from Imperial College, and we met and talked to a lot of those students at the nearby church.</p>
<p>I know freshers week is a really big deal. There’s not as much of a party culture, but that’s because of the lower drinking age, so it’s not as big of a deal. They do go hang out at pubs, though.</p>
<p>As far as academics, no GEs, so you have to know what you’re studying right when you start uni. My British professors graded our papers much harder than my professors here do, you really had to go above and beyond to get an A. They also didn’t waste time on the first day going over the syllabus, they just jumped right into lecturing.</p>
