How lovely that you should choose to come and study in England. We will of course be most welcoming. If someone seems a little standoffish this can mean one of two things either that the person is a little shy or that they really don't like you.
We English do like our tea, it is a ritual that we partake of at least twice a day. Once upon rising and again in the afternoon at 3 o'clock (or 1500 hrs as you Americans like to say).
We are a very tolerant nation especially so of our 'young folk'. As a student you will be expected to join in with the revelry. You may be lucky enough to arrive just prior to 'Freshers Week' this is a year long festival of binge drinking. During this time you will NOT be expected to turn up for lectures unless they are in the afternoon and if you do so it is expected that you will fall asleep.
During this festival of fun and games you will be expected to perfect the talent of 'projectile vomiting and contract at least two sexually transmitted disease. These are easily contracted by doing something that is called 'shagging around'. I am not sure what the equivalent American term is but it means to 'shag' (have sex with) as many inebriated but willing males or females. Generally speaking 'sheep shagging' is only done in our rural areas and as you will be relatively close to London this will probably not apply, unless of course you are inclined that way. Your STDs will be something that you should be very proud of and they should be verified by an independent clinic who will give you a certificate which you should photograph and put on your social media sites ASAP or by waving your penis around in front of your house mates who will take at least two photographs which will be posted on Facebook and Twitter immediately.
One or two arrests are perfectly acceptable during this time. Some of the accepted ways of getting arrested are, whilst intoxicated going up to a police officer and shouting obscenities in his face, because we are tolerant this may not be enough you may have to vomit over him/her the other much used way is to get so 'pissed' (this is another name for intoxication) that whilst in the street and during daylight hours you remove all of your clothes and terrify young children and elderly people by running up to them, waggling your STD infested 'tackle' (penis) around and shouting 'have you ever seen anything like this'.
Once you are over this initial period you may want to settle down and lay low for a while, after which you could post more questions on here.
Enjoy your visit.
