BU London Internship Program was ideal Past Review
By Amanda M (ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE/LETTERS., Providence College) for
Boston University: London - London Internship Program
If I had to do it all over again I would do it in just the same way. The BU London Internship Program has allowed me to experience things that I never would have had the opportunity to do in the US. The experiences that I had in London have helped me to better focus my future plans and understand what is important to me in my future academic pursuits.
