Academic Environment in London

Coming into this semester, I didn’t know what to expect from studying marketing in London. Now that I’m about a month in, it’s been really interesting to see how the same field I’ve been studying back home operates differently in another country and culture. At Richmond American University London, I’m currently taking Introduction to Advertising,…

Farewell London

My time in London not only helped me grow as a person but also academically. One skill that was strengthened while in London was my presentation/public speaking skills. I have always struggled with my speaking skills, and I have not had many opportunities to work on them, although I was always thankful for that; in…

Until next time, London

Studying abroad was always something I dreamed of doing. I never pictured myself choosing London as my destination; I more so imagined the streets of Italy, eating pasta and gelato, or Australia, walking alongside the Koalas. Choosing Pitt’s GBI program was an easy decision. I decided to study in London at the last minute, just…
