London: Expensive, but a Rich experience! Past Review
By Kathryn H (Psychology, Eckerd College) for
Eckerd College: London Study Center
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Study abroad is amazing! It completely opened my eyes to new culture, and even though it was shocking at first, and slightly scary, it was definitely worthwhile! People around the world do NOT live like Americans, even in England, where the language and many customs are similar.
