Condoms. Lots and lots of condoms. Bags of them, really. And be sure to mind the gap.
5 :
Sweaters ("jumpers"), fall ("autumn") and winter shirts, definitely a heavy coat, but also a good cool weather jacket.
6 :
money

Make sure you take a raincoat. Anything else you can get in London. You may want to check your grammar so that the Brits don't take the piss out of you too much รข€”and by the way, if they're 'pissed', it doesn't mean they hate you, but rather that they're drunk... Enjoy London, one of the world's best cities.
8 :
Patience and a good attitude. Leave arrogance behind and you'll have no problems at all... Bring warm clothing, as if it were snowing...
9 :
It's changeable. Do bring a light anorak and a warm coat.... You can carry your coat, not pack it, tell air staff you are going to England and they will understand. Don't pack too much cos you will buy back souvenirs/clothes from UK anyway. Also, wear a pair of your jeans and sneakers, cos they weigh a lot. Don't carry too much paper/books if you can help it, they weigh a lot, too. Shampoos and stuff like that you can buy here. Discuss with fellow students what you will be bringing so that you can pool resources eg dictionaries. Have fun! Any suggestions to going to the states to study?
