Would not trade my London experience for anything!! Past Review
By Rudy R (Journalism, University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa) for
Regent’s University London: Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Going abroad with ASA was the best decision I could have made. I gained amazing experiences and fell in love with London! The majority of my best friends now are people that I met on my ASA program in London over 2 years ago.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | ASA does a great job of providing you with everything you will need to go abroad so you can spend more time enjoying your experience there. Added things like health insurance, cell phone, and excursions really make ASA the best choice. |
