Okay, so it's not too likely that you'll be taking a Mini anywhere in London, or beyond, but believe me you WILL be traveling on this program, both for field trips and independently!

The Grinnell-in-London handbook has full details on how to arrive and depart from London.

You are expected to purchase a Zone 1 Oyster Card, which is good for both Tube and bus, while classes are in session so that you are able to fully participate in the experinece of living in London. Your Zone 1 card is essential for participating in field trips within London. The program will assist in the application process for a student discount for your Oyster card (this application will be done after your arrival in London). You will be provided with coach transportation to all field trips outside of London.

The Grinnell-in-London program has a week long Break between Phase I and Phase II. Students usually travel, funded by themselves of course, during this break. Please note that Grinnell-in-London and Grinnell-in-Iowa fall breaks do not occur at the same time!
