A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • The group of students I studied with
  • The experience of living in London like a local
  • The sights outside of London that we traveled to
* What could be improved?
  • Advise the teachers about how hard they should make the courses- The history class I took wasn't realistic about how much work the students could balance with the study abroad experience
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? Go to as many plays/musicals as you can- the student prices can't be beat and you will never have another chance like this.
