The best decision I have ever made. Past Review
By Jack P (Sarah Lawrence College) - abroad from 09/02/2011 to 04/13/2012 with
Sarah Lawrence College: London - London Theatre Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained more confidence in myself and my abilities as a theater maker, the knowledge to help me continue improving, and the absolute time of my life. It was certainly, without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made.

Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Shop at Tesco. It's right around the corner from the Landward, the apartment building where we all stay, and it's so much cheaper. Also, don't go out too often. If you want to drink and party, start the night in your flat and then go out, otherwise you spend way too much money on drinks. |
