London School of Economics Summer Program: Short but Sweet Past Review
By Nicholas B (Advertising., The University of Texas at Austin) for
IFSA: London - London School of Economics
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was easily one of the best decisions in my life to study abroad. I wish I would have had a bit more free time when it came to class work outside of school, but being in London made it worth while.
