FSU Study Centre in London

The FSU Study Centre in London ENGLAND

About 40 years ago - someone at FSU did some very smart planning. They bought 5 large townhouses on Great Russell Street in the heart of cultural London. They then gutted the interiors and created a modern campus - with classrooms - library - theaters - apartments - dorm rooms - and conference centers.

Today FSU offers programs to their students along with allowing many other USA colleges to use the facility for a fee.

I took the above picture from the top of a double decker bus as it was turning to head down Gower Street. In the foreground is a rack of the famous London rental bikes. One inserts a card into the machine and then can use a bike - returning it to any other rack in the city. If you use a bike for less than 1/2 hour - it is free.

Lulu has been teaching courses at the FSU Study Centre for each of the last 6 summers. Her classes are offered to graduate students from all over the USA - the classes fill quickly. This year she has 16 students - 4 of them are from FSU. The class runs from July 6th to July 27th. Housing is provided in the tuition.

The British Museum is less than one block away.
