When in Europe the UK and Beyond: Move in Day


The day started off by grabbing an English muffin at a local muffin shop. Afterwards, we went a scouted out the Kensington campus. It was a very pretty area. We had some trouble locating the campus at first, but after walking around for a few minutes we were able to locate the buildings that were scattered throughout.




Then we made our way to Richmond for move in day. My room is massive in size and I cannot complain. After setting up my room, we went down and had some lunch. My family and I explored the Richmond campus and then went on a walking tour of Richmond. Along the way we saw a beautiful view of the Thames upon the country side!





Along the tour my mom and dad parted ways. I made a new friend on the tour her name is Elise, who is from the Bahamas. I also made friends with a girl from Southborough, MA named Amy. At dinner I had a meal with a guy named Aiden who is originally from South Africa. When dinner was finished there was a meeting for the resident students to go over safety and different procedures. Once that was done we had an ice cream social. I sat down with Elisa, Aiden and this girl named Natalia from Brazil.

To finish off the night the RA’s and RD’s brought us to a local pub. I spent a few hours with my newly made friends, including JR who was from the Philippines. Tomorrow’s plan is to go to the British Museum and see Cannon Street with Elisa.
