My study tour in London Past Review

By Lillian S (Social Work., Florida Atlantic University) for

Study Abroad Programs in London

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

This is a great way to learn why we do some of the things we do, socially, culturally, and legally. Since so many of our cultural norms, laws, and traditions are based in on the English system, it is a good way to see it first hand - with no language requirement. It is also a good way to learn about one's own self in terms of travelability, adaptation, and so much more. It's only a week. Not nearly long enough but long enough if one finds they are not such a good traveler.
