My instution for my stay here is Richmond University.

I haven't started classes yet due to this being my orientation week. We traveled around London to view different sites. The great part about my campus is that I'm in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. So most of the museums (which are all free) are only a 15-20min walk away. HOWEVER, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is one of the most expensive parts of London. Ex. Every other car is a custom made Bentley, Mercedes, Audi, Porches, Masarti, BMW, or Aston Martin. Not to mention apartments are between £800,000-£2,000,000 ($1.24M-$3.11M)



There is also great scenary by my dorm.
