Great Experiences in London Past Review
By Greg O (Finance, Quinnipiac University) for
ISA Study Abroad in London, England
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My experience was absolutely amazing. I was able to be a tourist and see all the sites ,as well as meet with numerous businesses to learn how they conduct business and how similar/different it may be from businesses in America. Besides seeing all the sites, our guided tours enabled us to gain a perspective of the culture that we would not have gained if we tried doing them ourselves.

Everything was perfect. Instructors were awesome, they were on time, very accessible, and very knowledgeable. We were able to see all of London the 10 days we were there, as well as make it to our meetings on time, as well as have free time for ourselves. |

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | My words of wisdom for a student considering this particular study abroad program would be just do it. It is better to do it as young as you can, and you would have no regrets when its over. The 10 day experience was the best trip of my life, and it made me regret not studying abroad for a semester when I was an undergraduate. I feel like the program would benefit any type of personality because it is set up to accommodate variety of people from various cultures and backgrounds. The best advice is just do it, and you'll never look back. |
