    I think not having a drying machine is a European thing

    • @Larissamcooper
      @Larissamcooper  7 років тому +2

      Natalia Andrea it is for Camden but most other places in London have dryers in their homes / apartments is what I gathered from my colleagues

      It's nothing to do with Camden, that would just be bizarre, why would one borough not have dryers? Most people in Britain do not own dryers. I'm from the UK and I never saw one in anyone's houses growing up. Also I live in Greece and people never have them here either.

      Many do have it, but to save electricity we only use it when necessary.

    I loved the video! I'm totally freaking out about going on exchange to London in September - I don't know anyone going over there/anyone there at all, so do you have any tips about making friends? Thanks :)

    • @Larissamcooper
      @Larissamcooper  7 років тому

      ZoeTheScribbler are you going with any other students from your university? That helps! Otherwise just be active! Go to the park (the parks are poppin hahha), if you're 18 go to pubs that's a great place to meet people, it's fun yet casual enough you can have conversations with people! My advice is to just get out and put yourself out there. Do things you enjoy doing and you'll meet people there who enjoy it too! Hope that helps!

    • @zoethescribbler2953
      @zoethescribbler2953 7 років тому

      thank you so much! I think other students are going from my uni, but for some reason they didn't introduce us... I'll definitely give those a go, thanks :)

    Great! If you could choose any other city, what would it be?

    • @Larissamcooper
      @Larissamcooper  7 років тому

      To study abroad in? I would have loved to be in a Spanish speaking country! I almost chose Barcelona but because they speak Catalan I didn't think my Spanish would greatly improve and Barcelona was my only Spanish option because of the program I chose. I would have liked to be somewhere like Madrid or Seville. If not Spain then somewhere in South America!

    • @papaya2982
      @papaya2982 7 років тому +1

      Yes, great choices! I LOVE Barcelona too, I think I'll go live there some day! The people is so down to Earth and kind, good vibes out there... I also dream to go to South America one day...
      Madrid is also a good choice, I've been there too (I've a video of this trip on my channel), very kind people!
      Anyway thank you for answering, and keep up! 😘

    When you say you had to “pay off your phone” to AT&T in order to get it unlocked, do you mean you had to pay off the value of the physical phone? I’m going abroad for the spring and also have AT&T, but I just got a new phone and don’t think I can pay it off it the next week or so.

    • @Larissamcooper
      @Larissamcooper  7 років тому

      Cheyenne Marie yess you have the pay off the full value of the phone so you own it in order to unlock it. I was in the same boat! You could always get a cheap phone when you get to where you’re going though! A lot of people on my trip did that

    • @cheyennemarie7075

    Great video. Slight pronunciation correction. Shire by itself is pronounced "shire" but when on the end of a county name it is pronounced "sheer". So Devonshire becomes Devon-sheer and Oxfordshire becomes Oxford-sheer etc. Which also makes me wonder by London is pronounced Lun-dun. Wierd.

      Natalia Andrea I did! Just adding to the fact that the situation was different. Most people on my trip knew and chose their roommates

      @NataliaAndrea 7 років тому

      Larissa Zellmer I think that's the scariest part moving to a foreign country and not knowing anyone! I'm thinking of doing study abroad and I'm stuck between London and somewhere else (although I've been to London before) and your video was very helpful! I also watched your video of breaking the rules of the underground which I found funny!

    • @Larissamcooper
      @Larissamcooper  7 років тому +1

      Natalia Andrea good I'm glad you found it helpful! I have another video coming this week about my favorite things to do in the city from my time abroad that you may find helpful! Where else are you choosing between? (And glad you liked the underground one lol)

    • @NataliaAndrea
      @NataliaAndrea 7 років тому

      Larissa Zellmer I'm not sure maybe Barcelona, I speak Spanish so it won't be that hard of a transition! And for sure I'll watch the next video lmk when it comes out!

    • @Larissamcooper

    Because London... and UK in general.. is one of the most student- unfriendly places that I've ever been.

    London is great for sth like 6 months. Once you start noticing how arrogant and double faced people really are and how many stereotypes there are regarding ''politeness'' you just wanna run back home. You can do so many things but cannot enjoy one coz it's so busy..Plus Horrible weather..
