Arrival in London
Authored By:
After long flights and lots of anticipation, the students and program leaders arrived at London Heathrow and were bused to the Royal National Hotel at Russell Square. After a short visit to the students' rooms, the group met in the lobby and walked across Russell Square to the CIEE Center for lunch and a quick orientation and neighborhood tour followed by dinner and an early bedtime.
Monday was spent on a full orientation of the program followed by games in the park and for those interested a short supervised visit to the shops. Students enjoyed a popular English dinner of chicken curry.
The center is located directly off Russell Square in a friendly historic building with historical architectural detail.
