Culture Shock
Hi everyone! I just finished up my fifth week in London! I have finally felt like I am settling into my routine and culture here, but when I first got to London, I felt totally out of place. One cultural difference that I had to adjust to would be the long commute to work. At…
Student and Intern Life in London
For this program, I am enrolled at The Richmond American University London, which is in Chiswick. I am taking a Historical London course with the rest of the Pitt students in my program.

Living in London
I live at the flats on Goldhawk Road in Shepard’s Bush. I have three roommates who are all from Pitt, but none of us have met before. I took an uber from the airport here which was not cheap but understandably priced. The only problem with the flat is that there is no air conditioning…
