In this second installment of our pre-departure Know Before You Go podcasts, Esther, the London Study Centre Programme Intern, sits with two current students–one American and one British– to talk about what students can expect, academically and culturally, about student life in the UK.

They discuss their experiences with the U.K. academic system (exams, lectures, etc.) as well as the student culture at U.K. universities (what students are like, how to meet locals, how to get involved, etc.).
