September trip to London with Professor Shaw was amazing! Play at the Globe Theatre was a great experience. Individual trips to London afterwards were also fantastic. West End theatre a must. |

* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
Nice having the NHS. I got tonsillitus near the end of my trip and went to two NHS clinics-one in York and one in London. Hamline needs to include how to get to the NHS clinics in their orientation. Little difficult in finding. |

Yes
