We suggest that you pack light. Bring sweat shirts and sweat pants, or some other clothing that you can wear to class that will keep you warm and not restrict your movement.
Be sure to bring a waterproof windbraker. In England if the sun isn't shining there is a good chance that it's raining. Because it does tend to rain once in a while, you should also bring a second, or third pair of shoes. Tennis shoes, "trainer" are a good choice.
The course can be quite a sociable event and you could well find yourself doing a good deal of socialising,so you should also consider this when packing. There are plenty of launderettes in London, so whatever you pack should be machine washable.
The rate of exchange between Sterling, American Dollar, Euro and other currencies is constantly changing, so you should check with your bank for the most recent information
We strongly recommend you to bring a bank card that will allow you to draw money out of your "cheque account" back home. This way you have only the money you need and you will receive the best exchange rate available for the day you draw it out.
IMPORTANT:
You will not be able to draw money out of a "savings account" at a cash point, or ATM. You must check
with your bank, before you leave home to be sure that your cards will work in international ATM's.
If you intend exploring Britain, either before, or after the course, you should purchase an International Student I.D. card. This allows you to get discounted travel, accommodations and tickets, as well as accident insurance.
You can obtain information about Student I.D. card, at most university student centres.
