Grace E Carlson, Spring 2017 Participant
Canterbury is a very picturesque town and I loved it, but to travel anywhere you really have to go to London. I traveled every weekend, mostly internationally, and the 3 hour trip to the airport twice a week got old pretty fast. I am glad that I did this program, but the travel time to get anywhere is something I wish I would have known before going.

My favorite part of my learning abroad program was making friends at my school abroad, learning about their culture and lifestyle, and traveling with them.

Grace E Carlson, Spring 2017 Participant
I found the academics to be most rewarding. I studied art history and my classes took field trips to the National Gallery in London to see paintings and works of art that I had only read about in textbooks. The professors were all great, and I really valued what I learned this semester.
