Re: Traveling/moving abroad

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure what the right response is here... congratulations? Yay? In any case, I'm pleased for you anon!

My main advice would be:

- apply for your visa in plenty of time. The foreign office is currently being extremely paranoid about visas, and as such they are taking longer than usual

- the weather is constantly changing here, like on an hourly basis. If I could advise you on any one thing to bring to the UK it would be a raincoat that's light enough to carry around with you and big enough to layer over something warm in the winter. You could no doubt buy one here, but it would probably be more expensive here than in the States. Winters aren't bitterly, bitterly cold but my god, the cold drizzle seems to penetrate your very bones. Waterproof shoes = also a must.

General advice about London... hmmm. Well, firstly, the rental costs are a bitch, but that's about the only downside to London. The tube makes getting around incredibly easy. There is *always* something interesting and free going on. Millions of small places to eat, coffee shops, interesting small shops, museums, parks, historical monuments... There's so much to do!

There aren't any should nots really. :)

Hope this helps, anon. I hope you have a brilliant time over here! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it goes smoothly for you.

*first line of my reply sounds sarcastic when reading it back - it really wasn't intended to be!

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I applied for my visa a few weeks ago, and though I haven't gotten my passport back yet, earlier this week I did receive an e-mail confirming that I had been issued a visa, so I went ahead and bought the ticket. My school did warn us that the foreign office or whatever was super nitpicky in regards to visas, and applications could be rejected for tiny mistakes and so on... and considering it cost over $500 just to send in one application, I was getting paranoid myself. But hopefully I'm okay on that end!

Strangely enough, I'm actually excited for the weather. I prefer cool weather and I love rain. I'm from the Midwest where winter is regularly -40 degrees, so I can't imagine getting too cold. A raincoat isn't a bad idea to bring along though!

Yeah, rent does suck - and I'm renting a dorm, which is even more expensive yet, I think. But it's less stressful just to do it through my school, and I think will help me connect more with other students. I have a loan that should cover everything but I definitely want to get a part time job, if possible, to offset some of the costs.

Thank you!
