I Learned...

Going abroad made me grow as a person and learn how to be independent in another country. I was nervous doing a program without my friends but wanted to experience being a solo traveler and making new friends from other cultures. 

Best Part...

The best part of going abroad was finally getting to see all these amazing things I’ve heard about and learning the history about the city. I also made a bunch of new friends who I still talk to today. 

Program Details...

I studied at the University of Roehampton where I took one 4 hour class every day. Most of our classes were field trips where we got to explore the city and go to historical sites to learn more. This was one of the best classes I’ve taken because I was constantly exposed to different art and history, and I was able to see everything I wanted just taking the class. 

My Tips...

For anyone interested in studying abroad in London, I would say absolutely go for it! It was one of the best experiences I've ever had, and I’m so grateful for this program for making my dreams come true. 

One of the cool things about London is it’s only a 2 hour train ride to Paris! I took a weekend trip with my friends, and it was amazing to experience other cities during the trip.
