Not to bash anyone going there it's just to me london is so busy and crowded and expensive I couldn't imagine living there willingly for 4 years especially as a broke student. Like I would gladly travel up there for a couple days but only that. Anyone studying there why did you go?

I studied there because I live in London and wanted to stay at home instead of moving out.
I don’t really get the massive appeal with London either, it’s overrated.

I didn't study undergrad in London but - as a music student/musician - there's no better place for me to live, in terms of opportunities and number of venues!

As someone who grew up and did their undergraduate degree in the same small hometown, I was so glad to have done my postgrad in London.
Whilst London is expensive, there was so much more pros that came with being there: experience of living in a city, studying at a top university, meeting diverse/multicultural/like-minded people, the opportunity to see and do so many things, career opportunities, personal and professional growth etc
Being in London (even though it was only for a year) offered me so much more than my hometown could ever do. And surprisingly, I really thrived on the busyness.

Yeah I could definitely see the appeal in that there are more career opportunities since London is basically the centre of everything! Easier to find work placements and jobs after study maybe?
