Are there any American law students who are getting an LLM in London and can answer some of my visa/housing/financial aid questions?

Here are some links which I found useful:

http://www.dfes.gov.uk/international-students/vaetuk.shtml (student visa information)
http://www.llm-guide.com/board/220 (housing situation in london)
http://london.craigslist.org/roo/ (as an American you will know craigslist...)

Hope this helps!
