London: Surprisingly Worldly Past Review
By Nicole W (Theater, Roger Williams University) for
Roger Williams University: London Theater Program
Surprisingly worth it, helped my major and let me be abroad at the same time. I thought I was not going to enjoy myself as much as I did but also I was able to get this great feel for this once large empire and how it has prospered since. I would choose this trip if you want to go someplace new but are a little skeptical about something really out of your element. It was a nice starter for me for the study abroad I am currently on, which is in India.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Best student for this trip has to be someone who has the initiative to go out on their own, knows how to navigate by themselves, works well in close living situations, LIKES TO WALK, knows how to budget, wants to be abroad but doesn't want something that will completely overwhelm them |
