solid Past Review
By A student (Theater, Oberlin College) - abroad from 01/14/2014 to 04/18/2014 with
British American Drama Academy: London/ Oxford - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Opportunity for good ensemble experiences and to work with highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors and directors. Semester-long program helped me grow enormously as a performer in a way that was not possible at my home institution.
