Student nights are typically on the weekdays. #XOYOMondays anyone?

2. The Tube

Via giphy.com

Okay yes it was horribly expensive but what else could be that wondrously connected in America? (*cough* MTA *cough*)

3. No Homework (Well, Barely)

Via giphy.com

You didn't have to complete 1,000 word papers every week or cram for your quiz every Wednesday. Most of your studying was done during Reading Week. Speaking of...

4. Reading Week

Via giphy.com

The glorious week (or four if you studied abroad in the spring...lucky bastards) known to study abroaders as traveling to every single country on Europe. Well. The ones you could fit into your schedule and budget anyways.

5. The Historical and Modern Combined

You could walk down the street and see a site with a famous blue plaque next to which there is a gigantic glass office building.

6. The Markets

Borough. Old Spitalfields. Brick Lane. Camden Lock. Portobello Road. Need I say more?

7. A Beautiful Campus

I went to KCL's Strand Campus which was located right next to Somerset House. Ice Skating in between classes anyone?

8. Pubs

Yes, there was one located in just about every corner but of course you had to have a FAVOURITE (British spelling necessary)

9. The View

Walking home from Uni was just one of the many great joys in life.
