A year in London, the rest of my life in England. Past Review
By Brian G (Economics., Tulane University) for
London School of Economics (LSE): London - General Course, Year-Long Study Abroad Programme
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I plan on returning to LSE for my masters. After that I hope to find a job in London, and plan on spending the rest of my years in England. It is just an amazing place with amazing people. Even though I was only there for a year, I could tell that is where I want to be when I graduate University.
