Any tips or suggestions on where to live and how to settle in like a native?

Wife and I moved to East Twickenham from Indianapolis at the start of the year. We're about two miles from your son's Uni, near the Thames, by the Richmond bridge. We love the area, spend more time in Richmond since the high street area is closer than Twickenham's. I'm not sure if you're asking if your son should live outside the area, but if so, I can't see why. There's everything you could want from an activities standpoint, Richmond has the most green space of any of London's boroughs, tons of pubs, shops, sporting venues, etc. Plus, as others have mentioned, easy access to the tube from Richmond station or the overground from Twickenham or St Margaret's to get you to anywhere in Central London. Congrats to your son, wish I had been smart enough to do something like that at his age! Let me know if I can answer any questions with more specific info.
