With the start of the new academic year, here is a survival guide to help US students coming to study in the UK for the first time.
Studying abroad in the UK this year? You’re in good company! Around 50,000 Americans study in the UK each year, following in the footsteps of the likes of Bill Clinton, Cory Booker, George Stephanopoulos, Kris Kristofferson, Naomi Wolf, Justice Stephen Breyer, Tom Friedman, J.K. Galbraith, Rachel Maddow, Wesley Clark and Bobby Jindal. With 4 of the top 10 universities, no wonder so many Americans come to study every year!
Here at the embassy, we’re proud to be responsible for running the brilliant Marshall Scholarship, which select around 35 talented young Americans to study in the UK annually. We just had our big send-off for the 2013 class, which you can read about on the Ambassador’s Huffington Post column here.
Here are our top tips for enjoying your experience in Blighty. Good luck!

Discard that US phone! Mobile Phones (cellphones) are inexpensive in the UK! Way cheaper than the US for unlimited texts/data.
BONUS TIP: In the UK, all mobile numbers begin with 07… no such thing as an area code.

You will learn this in your first week as you pick up bits and bobs. Shops (stores) close at 5 or 6pm. However, Thursdays they are open LATE! (7pm).

Freshers Week is the UK version of ‘orientation’ but a lot more fun. Two things to remember: Have fun & be safe.
Tip: Save taxi numbers to your mobile. Everyone will be trying to get home at the same time so beat them to it. Also, it’ll likely be raining so save yourself from getting wet by carrying a brolly (umbrella).

Those mysterious bumps and creaks in the night? It’s just Jeremy.

Strange occurrences kept happening in an off-campus home rented by some very brave Ohio State students, who would joke that their house was haunted when the microwave and oven were unexplainably left open.
When the guys decided to quash the poltergeist legend by going exploring in their basement, they discovered something potentially more terrifying: A locked door with strange noises coming from behind it.
After maintenance workers knocked the door down, they discovered a room with human-type items such as textbooks and framed photos.
But the items didn't belong to a human who died in that room and remained in afterlife limbo forever haunting their fixer-upper and microwaving Hot Pockets. Their "ghost" was actually a fellow student at Ohio State named Jeremy who had been living in the home's basement unbeknownst to the renters.

How many melons can *you* smash open with your forehead?
So many emotions for dear Zac.
Among other findings, a look at personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct data from the past 10 years turns up a LOT of aggression in the Lone Star State and the allegedly relaxed West Coast.
Nebraska didn't actually come up in our calculation, but probably only because Ndomukong Suh eventually ran out of eligibility.

It's intuitively obvious to any college football fan that their team's main rival is the dirtiest, most unsportsmanlike program in the game. But what are the actual facts of the matter? We used a database of play-by-play data generously provided by the MGoBlog Michigan site to answer the question, looking at the last 10 full seasons of games between FBS teams to find which programs had been charged with the least and most personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties per game. (Personal fouls are given for unnecessary, dangerous plays like clocking a guy who's already run out of bounds, while unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are for non-contact infractions like taunting and telling a ref you're going to murder him. For simplicity's sake we only counted plays marked "personal foul" or "unsportsmanlike conduct" in the NCAA's play-by-play info. A few other specific aggressive acts, like roughing the passer, have their own separate designations.)

Trends!
• The four dirtiest teams in this sample were the University of Texas San Antonio, UMass, Idaho, and South Alabama, all of whom made the jump from lower-level football to the FBS at some point in the last decade. This result might make sense to anyone who's found themselves physically outclassed in competition — sometimes your only recourse is to hack, shove, and elbow and hope the ref doesn't see it — except that UTSA was actually not bad last year, its first at the FBS level, putting up an 8-4 record. UTSA's coach, by the way? Larry Coker, late of the University of Miami.
• The most misbehaving team of the last decade in a single season: last year's UCLA squad, which racked up a remarkable 45 personal fouls and eight unsportsmanlike conducts over the course of 14 games.
• The West Coast is definitely NOT mellow when it comes to football. Seven of these squads — UCLA, Utah, Oregon State, Oregon, Arizona State, USC, and Washington State — are members of the Pac-12. SoCal and the Portland area getting testy!
• In less surprising stereotype news, Texas is all ABOUT violent fouls and trash-talking. Texas Tech, Texas State, Texas, and the aforementioned UTSA all crack the top 20, with Baylor (22), UTEP (28), Texas A&M (29), and TCU (32) just outside the chart. Only 10% of FBS teams are from Texas, but a quarter of the dirtiest 32 teams play there. Meanwhile, only one Texas team (Rice) is on the cleanest-teams chart below.
The first promo for Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills promises more drama, drinking, and dreck. Here’s why I’m looking forward to the November 4 premiere.
At last season's reunion, Yolanda established herself as giving the least fucks out of any Housewife next to Brandi. She's fiercely opinionated, but she isn't sloppy, which makes her perhaps the most important Housewife to watch. Also, she can survive on lemons and cayenne pepper alone. Scary!
From misunderstood villain to misunderstood ally to... misunderstood villain again? If the promo is to be believed, Brandi will be drunker and meaner this season. And while it's harder to sympathize with her that way, it definitely makes for better television. Slur away, Brandi!
If Lisa is truly off of Team Brandi, we're in for an explosive season. While this showdown feels almost inevitable, it's actually kind of surprising — for awhile, it looked like these BFFs would never turn on each other. Thank the Bravo gods for public feuding.
Lisa is manipulating everyone like puppets! Puppets who play chess! Honestly, none of this makes any sense, but Brandi does have the best line in the promo — and it's chess-related: "I know you're the chess player of all time, but I just fucking checkmated you, bitch."
