Your Destination
London has a history stretching back to the Romans - four World Heritage sites, leading museums, and plenty of green spaces. A contemporary global city, London is home to almost nine million people from all over the world. A major financial center and leading hub for the arts, London has many eclectic neighborhoods to discover.
The New Cross campus is south of the River Thames in Southeast London. It is linked to other parts of the city via excellent transportation. Students walk to and from their Goldsmiths housing and class. It takes around 30 minutes to travel to CIEE London from Goldsmiths.
The Goldsmiths campus is a great base to explore watersports at Canada Water, the site of the 2012 Olympics at Stratford, or the Prime Meridian line at Greenwich, where you can stand with one foot in the Western Hemisphere and the other in the East. When you come and visit us at CIEE London, you will find us in the heart of museum land in Bloomsbury and only 10 minutes from Trafalgar Square or Covent Garden and its beautiful shops. The London Center has a lounge, café and, study areas if you need a change of scene and we will always be delighted to welcome you here to join our activities.
CIEE wants all our students to feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to succeed while studying abroad. Local CIEE staff have provided details about conditions and cultural attitudes that students with specific identities might encounter in London.

HOUSING & MEALS
HOUSING
Residence halls: Most of our students live in campus halls with the other Goldsmiths students. Here you will be offered a single study bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and access to a shared kitchen. The hall usually has its own socials and a representative on site. We can help you find other options if you would rather live off-campus.
MEALS
No meals are provided in housing but students will have access to kitchen facilities to cook their own meals or can enjoy the many cafes and restaurants in the area.
Academics
Founded in 1891, Goldsmiths joined the University of London in 1904 and is world-recognized for creativity and innovation. The urban campus is in New Cross, South East London, a lively, diverse, working-class neighborhood with a booming music and arts scene. Goldsmiths is large enough to offer a variety of facilities, yet small enough to give personalized attention and create a strong sense of community.
This program is geared for motivated, creative thinkers, who are eager to experience a new culture. Goldsmiths is known for its interdisciplinary approach and CIEE students can focus their studies in one of 20 academic departments. Courses are taught by Goldsmiths faculty.
