Loved my study abroad experience!! April 16, 2021
By Muna Daud (George Washington University) - abroad from 09/24/2018 to 12/17/2018 with
Queen Mary University of London Study Abroad programme
It was worth it! Because of my London abroad experience, I have gained world-class education while meeting new people and living in a melting pot city. I am pursuing my masters' degree in London again this upcoming fall because I couldn't get enough of London!
