Students are housed with private families in London within commuting distance of the program office and classrooms and within easy walking distance of a bus or tube stop. Most families are located about forty minutes commuting distance from the office and classrooms.

Most students will share small double rooms. Linens are provided, but students are expected to change them and to be responsible for their own laundry. Telephone privileges can be worked out with individual families, but cell phone rental is recommended. In an emergency a message may be left at the program office.

Students selected to participate in the London Program must attend the orientation meetings held on campus prior to leaving for the program. In addition, there is a three day orientation in London at the beginning of the semester, featuring lectures, tours, introductions to the course offerings, and a theater performance. Students are required to attend all orientation meetings and activities.

The Program includes field trips to places in London and opportunities to travel elsewhere in the UK. 

The art courses feature weekly gallery visits to such places as the National Gallery, the Tate, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Banqueting House, the Soane Museum and the Royal Academy.

London is a city rich in culture. From the Roman wall which forms part of the contemporary Barbican Center to the National Theaters on the South Bank to the architectural dominance of St. Paul's seen from the Thames, London is a city with a long and fascinating history. It is the banking and trading center for all the world, even as it wrestles with contemporary urban problems. Housed in the center of London, the St. Lawrence Program allows students to explore the intellectual, cultural, and social life of this large, cosmopolitan center.
