Why I chose this program: So many people in my life have encouraged me to travel and study abroad, and I have always wanted to visit Europe, not only for the sights but also for its rich history. This program also directly relates to my fine arts interest and major. Not only will we be able to see and study great and various types of theatre in London, but we will also have the opportunity to supplement that with what we learn about renaissance and culture and other parts of art history.
What I'm most excited about: This will be my first time outside of the country and, although I will be stretching my comfort zone considerably, I am excited to meet new people and just live in and experience two very new places... and the Italian food, of course!
Anything else? While speaking with someone who has recently studied in London, I was advised to "make plans, but be ready to let them go." Let's see how that goes and what adventures await us!
