Introduction

Amity London Business School has several different exchange programs with Amity
University New Dehli and this guide is tailored for Amity University students.

Amity London Business School is proud of its reputation. Many students choose to
join us for a semester (two months) and find that spending a period of study at a
highly regarded institution in one of the world’s most vibrant cities is not only a
great experience in and of itself, but also enhances their academic insights,
employability and life skills.

Improve your employability

Studying abroad is a great way to enhance your employability. Your experiences of

studying abroad and navigating cultural and academic challenges will give you an
edge in your future career. In addition to building your cross-cultural awareness,
you will acquire a range of transferable skills that are highly valued by employers.
In general, studying abroad develops your skills as a communicator, both verbally
and in writing. At Amity London Business School, we also help you develop skills
and personal qualities such as confidence, flexibility, analytical ability, problem-
solving, working in a team and the ability to adapt to new situations.

Enhance your degree

Studying abroad gives you an opportunity to specialise further in an area that
interests you. Studying at Amity London Business School will introduce you to new
and innovative ways of learning in a different academic environment.

Develop an international perspective

Studying in a culture different from your own will broaden your understanding of
the world and how other people study and socialise. You will return home with new
ideas and an informed perspective on the world around you.

Network and make friends from all over the world

As a visiting and exchange student you will be studying and living alongside
students from the UK and all over the world. Take advantage of the range of social
and networking opportunities on offer and make life-long friendships while you do.

Explore London
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education,
entertainment, fashion, finance, media, professional services, research and
development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the
world's leading financial centre alongside New York City.
London has been described as a world cultural capital. It is the world's most-visited
city. London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300
languages are spoken within its boundaries.

27
Once accepted:

This pre-arrival guide is designed to help you prepare for your journey and to
provide some basic information about immigration, travelling to the UK and what to
expect on arrival. It will also answer some of the questions you may have about
Amity London Business School. Please read all of the information carefully to help
you plan your trip.

We understand that travelling to a different country and studying in a new place can
be a daunting experience and, no doubt, you will have lots of questions. We are here
to help. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any queries or concerns
about anything.

We hope you have a safe journey and we look forward to welcoming you in London.

Now that you have accepted your offer to study with us, it is important to start
thinking about some of these things in advance of your travel to the UK...

Accommodation

If you have not started looking into this already, you should do so
immediately. You should arrange accommodation before arriving. You may
have issues with immigration unless you have proof of a stable address in the
UK.

Amity London Business School does not provide accommodation but has
strategic agreements with certified accommodation providers. Contact the
Student Support Officer as soon as possible for more details concerning this
accommodation. Amity will give you information regarding the method of
payment once the accommodation booking is confirmed.

London has an abundance of privately let accommodation that you can rent
by yourself or with other students. However, searching for accommodation is
a long process and you need to start searching at least 3 months before
arrival. Be very careful to ensure the accommodation you are renting is
legitimate. Amity staff are unable to find private rented accommodation on
your behalf however may be able to offer tips and general guidance when it
comes to house-hunting. You may have trouble arranging accommodation in
the private rental sector from abroad; you may need to consider arranging
temporary accommodation in a local Bed & Breakfast (B&B) or hotel for your
first few days in the UK.

Please contact the Student Support Officer if you need help or advice
regarding accommodation.

28
As your stay in London is for a relatively short amount of time you may have
trouble renting privately as it is likely that you will have to enter into a contract for
at least 6 months. Tenancy Agreements are legally binding documents and so if you
have any questions you should always seek advice before signing one. Contact the
Student Support Unit who can refer you for specialist help if required.

Homestay Accommodation

Homestay is where you live in the home of a host family and is one of the most
popular types of accommodation for international students enrolled on any short
courses at Amity London Business School. Amity does not provide Homestay
Accommodation but can help with your search and provide advice.

Declaration Form for Accommodation

We can provide advice regarding accommodation but it is ultimately your

responsibility.

You are obliged to sign a declaration form if we arrange your accommodation before
the booking is finalized. The form states that you will abide by UK Law, Amity
London Business School’s regulations and the landlords terms and conditions. You
will be held liable for any breach of these conditions and may be evicted if the
breach is deemed sufficiently serious.

Visa & Immigration Advice

Do make sure that your passport is valid and up-to-date! Normally your
passport needs to be valid till 6 months after the end of your exchange
program. If you need to have your passport renewed, do this well in advance
of your travels

It is not wise to book your flights until you receive your visa, just in case
anything goes wrong and you cannot get your flights refunded.

You can only apply for your visa within 3 months of your intended course start
date. However, you should make sure that you meet all of the requirements in
advance to prOddt any problems arising. You should contact your nearest
British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission to find out how early you can
submit your application, or check the UK visas website www.ukvisas.gov.uk

To apply for your visa you need to complete:

Application form VAF1D.
The form can be found at www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources.

Please check the visa applications centres overseas page for details of how to submit
your application in your country. www.ukvisas.gov/en/howtoapply/wheretoapply

Visa & Immigration Information

All non EEA nationals must apply for entry clearance before travelling to the UK.
Depending on your nationality you may be required to obtain “entry clearance”
before you will be allowed to enter the UK as a student. These pages will provide
you with guidance on all aspects of this part of your journey to Amity.vis

Applying for a visa can be one of the most confusing and challenging aspects of
studying in another country. We are here to help you with this process as much as
possible, and this page provides some useful information about the main types of
visas which students might need. Please remember that preparing in advance is the
most important thing you can do with any visa!

If you feel confused about anything you read in this document or are unsure of your
next steps remember we are here to help. Please contact us by email at
admission@london.amity.edue.

Students who come to the UK to study on exchange programs for less than six
months are required to apply for a student visitor visa:

Student Visitors may NOT work or volunteer while in the UK.

You cannot switch from a Student Visitor visa into any other visa category, you
would have to leave the UK and make a new application to return in a different
visa category.

Please www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk (Click Here) for more information about

Student Visitor visas.

If you already hold a UK visa for a different immigration category, you should check
the UKBA website to see if your visa permits you to study.

Contact the Student Adviser if you require any help or guidance completing the application
form or if you wish to clarify which supporting documents you need to submit.

Remember: it is important that you keep photocopies of the completed forms and all
your supporting documents.

Amity London Business School is required to inform the UK government if a student:

fails to enrol on their course

stops attending their course
is absent without consent
withdraws from the course or defers their
studies finishes their course earlier than expected
breaches the conditions of their visa

30
Students seeking advice about their applications can also contact the UKCISA
(UK Council for International Student Affairs) helpline. The helpline is open
Monday to Friday from 1pm to 4pm.

UKCISA Helpline number: if you are in the UK, call 020 7107 9922. If you are outside
the UK, call +44 207 107 9922. The UKCISA website also provides helpful and up-to-
date information for international students
:http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/student/index.php or you can find more information
on the UKBA website.

Medical, Dental, & Insurance Matters

Students in the UK for less than 6 months MUST purchase medical insurance
before travelling, as you will NOT be eligible for treatment under the NHS
(National Health Service).

Don't forget to purchase appropriate travel insurance, just in case anything

happens to your luggage or any delays occur during your journey.

Be sure to check the medical and immunisation requirements. Make sure you
have been immunised against the following diseases: diphtheria, tetanus,
whooping cough, haemophilus influenza type B, polio, meningitis C, MMR
(Measles, Mumps, Rubella), and tuberculosis. You should bring a printed
record of your immunisation history as well as any recent medical check-ups.
Please check the UKBA website for country specific medical requirement.

31
Cost of Living

From the moment you accept your offer to study with us it is important to start
thinking about money and how you will support yourself whilst in the UK. The
earlier you start saving money for your studies, the better! On this page we will try
to provide a bit of information about money and finances, so hopefully there will not
be any unpleasant surprises once you arrive at Amity.

The International Student Calculator is a free online tool which is really useful for
managing your money and can help you work out how to build a budget for living
in the UK. http://international.studentcalculator.org.uk/ (Click here) to go to the
Calculator, enter the money you have coming in and what you spend to see your
budget.
Can I work while studying?

If you are on a student visitor visa the UKBA regulations state that you can not work
in the UK while studying.

Can my family members come with me?

Your dependants can accompany you to the UK if:

• you are studying at postgraduate level on a course lasting at least 12 months

• you are a government-sponsored student on a course lasting at least 6 months

Therefore, as a student on our Study Abroad Program you can NOT be accompanied
by dependants.

Your finances

The UKBA has specified the amount of money that you will need to show to enter
the UK as a student. Students must have proof that they have their course fees and
£1000 for each month of the course in their bank account.

Students on our Study Abroad Program you will, therefore, need to provide proof
that they can support themselves for a two month module (£2000).

The UKBA will ask to see proof of the above in the form of bank statements, a letter
from your bank or a passbook showing amounts held on your bank account. This
account must be in your name or your parents/ legal guardian’s name and funds
must have been in your account for 28 days. If using your parents/legal guardians
account, you need to show evidence that you are related to them and that you have
permission to use their money. This is usually by showing an original birth
certificate and signed letter confirming your parents are willing to sponsor you and
that you are their son or daughter.

32
The statement or letter should be dated no more than 28 days before the date of
application.

Please refer to the UKBA website for more detailed information.

Calculating Overseas Money:

If you are using overseas currency, you will be expected to show the closing balance
in pounds sterling. The UKBA use the official exchange rate on the OANDA website,
which can be found at www.oanda.com/currency/converter; we recommend you
print and enclose the currency conversion with your application.

Overseas Banks

The UKBA have now issued information about Banks from which they will not
accept proof of funds. These can be found on the UKBA website
www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk. Please make sure that you have your funds in a bank
accepted by the UK Border Agency.

If you do not have your own bank account the funds in your parents account may be
accepted but the bank accounts of other family members will NOT be accepted.

In order for the funds in your parents account to be accepted as proof you will need
to provide the following documents:

A copy of your parents bank statement

Your birth certificate (and the translation of your birth certificate if it is not in
English)

An Affidavit signed by your parents stating they are willing to sponsor you
during your studies.

If you are being sponsored by your parents unless you provide these documents a
visa letter will not be issued.

If you have any questions please contact Amity London Business School.

Before Travelling to the UK

Travel tips

Luggage

Check with your airline to find out your baggage limit. Use good strong luggage, well-
secured and with your name and your UK address clearly marked on them. It will be
your responsibility to carry your luggage, so only pack as much as you can carry.

What to bring to the UK

clothes
a warm waterproof winter coat or
jacket two jumpers/sweaters
strong waterproof shoes or boots
warm gloves/hat/scarf
toiletries
personal
medicine laptop
computer towels

We strongly recommend that you pack essential items such as medicine, travel
documents, maps, contact numbers and this booklet in your hand luggage. You
must carry a doctor’s note for any medicine that you bring with you. You must not
bring foodstuff in your luggage or any illegal drugs.

Cost of Living

London is a tourist city, so there is a huge variety of choice when it comes to

things to see and do and especially with places to eat and drink! There is
everything from coffee shops and fast food to many sit-down, restaurants, so
it's always a good idea to read menus before you go into a restaurant.

Cinema tickets cost around £9 per person. Theatre tickets can cost from £15-
£50, depending on where you sit.

Train travel can be very expensive for longer trips, but you can get cheaper
tickets if you purchase them as far in advance as possible.

Commuting to School on a train or bus every day can get VERY expensive, so
it is important to find accommodation near school.

London has a good bus network which can take you to places like shopping
centres outside the city. There are weekly and month passes and student
discounts, all of which can save you money on bus travel.

34
 You will need to cover the cost of contacting home, which can vary greatly
depending on your phone/internet package and where you are contacting.
Comparison sites such as Cable.co.uk offer information on the best student
internet deals and guidance on making cheap international calls.

You should plan to spend at least £50 per week on food and groceries,
depending on where you shop. Sainsburys, Morrisons, Asda, or Tesco are 4 of
the largest supermarket chains in London.

Remember that there are student discounts available for many things. You can apply
for an NUS card, plus many tourist locations and restaurants offer student discounts.

Travelling to London

Airports

When travelling to the UK, the major airports are London Heathrow, London
Gatwick, Stansted and London City Airport

Arrival in the UK

Immigration

You should have no problems going through the immigration controls, but if you do
it is your right to speak to the office of the UKIAS (United Kingdom Immigration
Advisory Service), where you can get advice and help.

Passport Control

1. Ensure you complete your Landing Card before you meet the Border Force
Officer in the UK (non EEA students)

2. Have your passport ready with you, and if you carry your passport in a protective
wallet make sure you remove it before you present it to the Border Force Officer

3. Select the correct queue – EU or non-EU.

4. The immigration officer will check all your documents – carry all your school
papers ( visa letter) in your hand luggage.

5. The immigration officer will stamp the visa page of your passport. The visa sticker
(‘vignette’) tells you how long you can stay.

6. The immigration officer will ask you questions related to the course and purpose
for travel to establish you are genuinely studying in the UK. The immigration officer
will also question you to check the standard of your English. Do not challenge the

35
immigration officer’s decision or give any false information but make a note of what
they say.

7. Make sure you are familiar with the conditions of your visa and that you are not
allowed to work in the UK (non EEA students).

Remember: you should be sure to have your documents relating to your studies at
Amity London Business School and finances in your hand baggage.

Damaged luggage

Report any damaged luggage to the appropriate authorities in the airport terminal. If
you have insurance you will be able to claim for this. Once you have reported any
damage, leave the baggage hall.

Lost luggage

Wait until the entire luggage load has been taken off the plane. If your luggage is not
there, do not panic but report this to the authorities in the baggage hall. Do not stay
in the baggage hall once you have reported your lost luggage. Come out and
continue your journey.

European Union currency controls

If you are entering the UK from a non-European Union (EU) country and are
carrying 10,000 Euros or more (or the equivalent in other currencies) you must
declare the cash to HM ROddue and Customs (HMRC) at the place of your arrival in
the UK. If you fail to declare any cash, travellers’ cheques or bank drafts that you are
carrying, or if you provide incorrect or incomplete information, you could receive a
fine of up to £5000. You must use the C9011 form to make the cash declaration.
Forms are available at ports and airports and also from the HMRC website.
Visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/allforms and go to ‘Travel Forms’ to download a copy. If
you are travelling between another EU country and the UK, you do not have to
make a declaration.

Travelling to London from the airport

Once you have completed your journey through immigration control and customs, you
will want to make your way to the place you will be staying. Travelling in London is
very easy as London has a very good bus, train and underground train system

We recommend that you study the tube map carefully, working out where you are
going to and then plan your route, using the information provided.

Don't worry about asking people for information or for directions - look for signs at
the airport. You may have to take a black cab (taxi) for part of the journey.

36
Travelling to central London from Heathrow Airport

If you are coming in to central London from Heathrow you have the option of
travelling by underground train, bus or rail links. By underground, take the
Piccadilly line (blue) into central London. By bus take an Air-bus to either Victoria
train station, Russell Square or Kings Cross. By rail link, you can catch the Heathrow
express into Paddington train Station.

The cost and ease of travel is variable but the rail link takes 15 minutes and costs about
£10. The bus and tube take longer but cost less. The airport website provides lots of
useful information.
www.heathrow-airport-guide.co.uk
To get a black cab (taxi) from Heathrow to central London, takes 45 minutes-60
minutes and costs over £35.

Travelling to central London from Gatwick Airport

If you are coming to central London via Gatwick airport, you can take the Gatwick
Express train or the coach/bus. By train a single cost around £10 and takes 30 minutes
to reach Victoria Coach Station. The airport website provides lots of useful
information.
www.gatwick-airport-guide.co.uk

costs around £65.

Trains

Trains run at regular intervals .To look up train times and prices in advance, please
visit:http://www.nationalexpress.com/ or www.nationalrail.co.uk

Take care with valuables, jewellery and cash andalways carry immigration
documents and any other important papers on your person. This is especially
important when travelling on the London Underground.

Student Support

There will be lots happening during your first few weeks in the UK and it is not
uncommon for students to feel overwhelmed at times. Remember that Amity
London Business School offers a great deal of support to students – please contact
the Student Support Officer if you have any problem, large or small.

Induction Day

An orientation programme takes place at the beginning of each semester, prior to the
start of your course. The programme is compulsory for all international students and
will include workshops and information sessions; the extensive services we provide,

37
and about studying in the UK and life in London. You will have the chance to meet
staff and make friends with other international students.

Amity London Business School Information & Facilities

Students are allowed to use Birkbeck college facilities, all lectures and seminars are
held at the University of London’s Birkbeck College, on Maletstreet.

Arriving at Amity London Business School: what you can expect in your first few

Once your long journey is over and you are finally in London, you can make your
way to school and start settling into your new student life. Remember, to plan on
arriving to London earlier to your induction day so not to miss out on any of the
sessions and Oddts.

Here are a few things you should do during your first few days in London

When you first arrive, you should be able to move into your accommodation
which you have booked.

You should come to school to complete your enrolment

to have your passport and visa scanned (this is mandatory for all international
students) and your passport is needed for various registration sessions.

be studying.

There will be campus tours and city excursions during your stay.

Life at Amity London Business School

90%.

38

Facts about the UK

Climate and clothing

British weather can be changeable throughout the year. During the summer months
(June to August) temperatures can reach 25°C – 30°C, whilst in the winter it can drop
to around 5°C during the day, and there is usually some snowfall in January or
February. You will need to make sure that you have adequate clothing to cope with
the changes in British weather. It would be wise to bring the following:
• a warm waterproof winter coat or jacket
• two jumpers/sweaters
• strong waterproof shoes or boots

39
• warm gloves/hat/scarf

It may be cheaper to buy some of this clothing when you arrive in Britain. You will
be warmer wearing several thin layers of clothing rather than one single thick layer
of clothing. Dress in Britain is mostly very informal. You can wear your own style of
clothes but you will probably need extra warm clothes and a winter coat as well.

Cost of living in London

You will need at least £1000 per month to cover basic living expenses, depending on
your personal lifestyle. Please ensure that you have sound, reliable funding from a
sponsor or your family before you leave. Make sure that you have enough funds to
cover the cost of living. Most students need around £2000 to cover all living
expenses. Please note this does not include the cost of your tuition fees. When
agreeing an accommodation contract, a landlord may expect you to pay a month’s
rent in advance. If you are renting privately you will have to budget for bills – for
example light, heat, water, telephone and internet rental. You may also have to pay
for temporary accommodation on arrival. This will cost approximately £40- £70 per
night. Below are examples of the costs of some essential items you will need whilst
you are in the UK:

• Books and equipment (per semester)£200

• Coat £20-£100
• Boots £30-£60
• Jeans £20-£60
• Warm jumper £10-£30
• Trainers £20-£80
• Accommodation (per week) £90-£190
• Food (per week) £50
• Travel for a week £15-£20
• TV Licence £139.50

The prices given are an approximate guide to costs. You might find it useful to use
the Education UK online budget planner at www.educationuk.org/budgetplanner
to help you organise your finances. We would recommend that, if possible, you
open a bank account with one of the multinational banks (eg HSBC) before leaving
your country. This account can then be transferred to London and you should be
able to use any cash machine (ATM) as soon as you arrive.

£50 notes – please note that although £50 notes are legal tender in the UK they are
not in common circulation and you might therefore have difficulties using them.

SINGAPORE PRE-ARRIVAL GUIDE

DO'S AND DON'T'S

There are several do's and don't's that a visitor should remember while in Singapore.

❖
Handshaking is a warm way of greeting others regardless of racial background. Once invited to
a home remove your shoes and also while entering a temple or a mosque.

❖
Laws relating to littering are strictly enforced in urban areas, so don't litter while in
Singapore. Other don'ts in Singapore include no smoking in public areas including
restaurants. Dropping a cigarette end in the street would lead to fine of minimum S$ 350+
7% GST.

❖
Be punctual for the appointments. Exchange of cards is quite common and while giving
hold it with both hands. It is considered proper to address by using Mr., Mrs. or Miss and
not first names.

❖
Don't touch opposite sex as it may not be received in a good light. On the other hand don't
point with your finger this is considered rude and you may use entire hand with the palm
to draw attention.

❖
There are strict penalties for possession and use of drugs as well as for trafficking in illegal
drugs. Trafficking charges may be brought based on the quantity of illegal drugs in a
subject's possession, regardless of whether there is any proven or demonstrated intent to
distribute the drugs. Convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines.
Singapore has a mandatory death penalty for many narcotics offenses. Singapore police
have the authority to compel both residents and non-residents to submit to random drug
analysis and do not distinguish between drugs consumed before or after entering
Singapore in applying local laws.

❖
Visitors should be aware of Singapore's strict laws and penalties for a variety of actions that
might not be illegal or might be considered minor offenses in the United States. These include
jaywalking, littering and spitting. Singapore has a mandatory caning sentence for vandalism
offenses. Caning may also be imposed for immigration violations and other offenses.

❖
There are strict penalties for those who possess or carry arms, or who commit crimes with
arms. Singaporean authorities define "arm" as any firearm, air-gun, air-pistol, automatic
gun, automatic pistol and any other kind of gun or pistol from which any shot, bullet or
other projectiles can be discharged or from which noxious liquid, flame or fumes can be
emitted, and any component part thereof. This definition also includes any bomb or
grenade and any component part thereof. The unlawful possession of any arm or
ammunition could result in imprisonment and caning. Any person convicted of committing
a crime with an arm could receive punishment which could result in the maximum penalty
of imprisonment for life and caning.

47
❖
Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a
foreign country is a crime, prosecutable in the United States. In Singapore, local law
prohibits causing or encouraging prostitution of, or engaging in sexual relations with, a
female below the age of 18. An indecent assault against anyone, male or female, regardless
of age, is also prohibited. Those convicted of facilitating or abetting the prostitution of any
woman or girl could be sentenced to imprisonment of up to five years and a fine or both. If
the crime involves a female below the age of 16, the offender faces an additional charge
carrying a possible sentence of imprisonment of up to three years and a fine or both.

❖
Singapore enforces strict laws pertaining to the propriety of behavior between people and
the modesty of individuals. The Singaporean law "Outrage of Modesty" is defined as an
assault or use of criminal force on any person intended to, or knowing it to be likely to,
outrage the modesty of that person. Penalties may include imprisonment for up to two
years, a fine, caning, or a combination thereof. Men are sometimes accused of
inappropriately touching other people, often women, resulting in their prosecution and
punishment under this Singaporean law.

❖
ANY POSSESSION OF CIGERATTE OR LIQOUR IS SUBJECT TO CUSTOMS CLEARANCE
AND FINE.

❖
Special Circumstances: Singapore customs authorities enforce strict regulations concerning
temporary import and export of items such as weapons, illegal drugs, certain religious
materials, pornographic material, videotapes, CDs, DVDs and software. Singapore customs
authorities' definition of "weapon" is very broad, and, in addition to firearms, includes
many items which are not necessarily seen as weapons in the United States, such as dive
knives, kitchen knives, handcuffs and expended shell casings. Carrying any of these items
without permission may result in immediate arrest. All baggage is x-rayed at every port of
entry, so checked baggage will also be inspected for regulated items.

53
 ➢
Do’s and Don’ts for Visitors Happy Holidays. Instead of "Merry Christmas" or any other
religion specific greeting, it is best to say "Happy Holidays" in
case you want to wish someone

➢
Do not ask personal income, assets, or other financial info. Do not ask
women’s marital status, age, or price of clothing
➢
Do not give white lilies as gifts

➢
Do not forget to greet children. American children are treated equal to
adults
➢
Do take off hat, coat, and sunglasses indoors
➢
Do hold doors for people

➢
Timing. Americans are pretty punctual. If you agree a time to
meet, get there at that time. If it’s a business appointment (for
example, an interview) you will be expected to arrive early.

➢
Rules of the road. Traffic laws are strictly enforced. If you are
renting a vehicle to get around, familiarize yourself with the do’s
and don’ts of driving in the U.S.

➢
Jaywalking refers to recklessly crossing the road – on foot. In some
cities and states, pedestrians must cross the road at designated
points (i.e. traffic lights or pedestrian crossings) or you will risk a
fine. If you do it by accident and are caught, best thing to do is
apologize.

➢
Race is a very sensitive issue in the USA, as there are people from
many different countries often living in close proximity. As a result,
avoid making any comments relating to someone’s racial identity
(skin color, dress etc.). In addition, you may not realize what
someone’s background is (i.e. their parents may be from another
country, not the USA) and so refrain from making remarks about
other countries.

➢
Smoking is not allowed in many public places. Odd if you’re
someone where it is allowed, it’s polite to check with those
around you before you light up.

54
 Do’s and Don’ts for New York
➢
City
DON’T Block the subway doors

➢
New York City subways can get crowded! Respect the other travelers
and move into the center of a subway car when you board a train.
Don't cluster near the doors, making it hard for other people to get on
and off the train.

➢
DON’T lean on the subway pole with your whole body. You block it for
everyone else. Just hold on with your hands.

➢
New Yorkers are speed-walking pros—they have places to be, and
walking is the best way to get there fast. It's understandable that
tourists want to walk slowly and take in the scenery, but please don't
block the entire sidewalk doing it. Walk on the right side in small
groups—and don't hold hands doing so..

➢
The majority of city residents don't drive, so the sidewalks are like
streets, with the same type of "traffic" laws. Respect them and don't
stop dead in the middle of the street to take a picture or to consult
your map. Instead, "pull over" to the side so that pedestrian traffic
won't run into you.
➢
DON’T get on an empty subway car. ODDs are, that train car is empty for a
reason, be it broken air-conditioning or a spilled bodily fluid.

➢
DON’T be afraid to ask for directions. Just don’t stop traffic while
doing so. DON’T go around staring at everyone you meet on the
street or in the subway though.

➢
DON’T bring large backpacks. Large, bulky backpacks not only take up
valuable space in the subway or on the sidewalks, you might also hit
someone with them when you're not paying attention.

➢
DO be careful when you stare up. Tourists are easily spotted because
they walk around staring up at the tall buildings in Manhattan. This
can cause you to be a target for theft because you're not paying
attention, or you will walk into things and people on the sidewalk.

Things to do on Long Island
Artie’s South Shore Fish & Grill: Want your seafood straight from the
sea? Locals swear by this restaurant and market which offers clams ($7
per dozen), a lobster roll or the catch of the day, pulled in by owner Artie
Hoerning himself. We like it Odd more for its no-frills plastic cutlery, picnic
tables and super casual atmosphere. 4257 Austin Blvd,
Island Park (516-889-0692)
Long Beach: Long Beach is Nassau County’s self-proclaimed City by the
Sea. Mandatory beach passes ($12 per day) make sure things never get
too crowded, and vendors are on hand to rent out umbrellas, chairs and
other essentials. Work up an appetite with a jaunt along the two-plus mile
boardwalk—it dates back to 1914 and was recently refurbished after
Superstorm Sandy—before heading to the charming Diner by the
Sea for a stack of pancakes. It’s right across the road from the LIRR
station.
Old Westbury Gardens : Channel your inner Daisy Buchanan at this
mansion and gardens owned by steel heir John Shaffer Phipps and his
family—a site so iconic that it inspired the set for Baz Luhrmann’s The
Great Gatsby. Since 1959, the 100-plus-year-old estate has been open
to the public, who come to smell the roses (and daffodils and poppies

D’Angelico guitar played in the wedding scene of The Godfather, one of
Les Paul’s original Gibson guitars and an 1840 La Cote guitar.
The African American Museum of Nassau County in Hempstead
highlights the many cultural contributions of the African American
community. The permanent collection features Eubie Blake’s piano,
and there are special Oddts and changing exhibits.
Parks and Gardens: Long Island is home to a number of hiking trails like
the ones in Garvies Point Preserve, which lead down to a quiet beach,
and some wonderful wildlife refuges like the Oyster Bay National
Wildlife Refuge. The Nature Conservancy’s Uplands Farm features a
double-loop trail surrounded by red cedar, oak, hickory and other tall
trees. Butterflies and birds, as well as wood frogs and salamanders
frolic in the area’s pools in season.
Art Galleries: It’s free to browse through many art galleries. Some colleges
here also have art galleries that are free and open to the public. Adelphi
University has its Adele and Herbert J. Klapper Center for Fine Arts Gallery,
the University Center Gallery and the Swirbul Library

Gallery in Garden City. Suffolk County Community College’s Lyceum

Gallery at the Eastern Campus in Riverhead and the Gallery East on the
