My experience in London has unfortunately come to an end! It was the best four months of my life that I’m so fortunate to experience. I wouldn’t change anything about it and I’m so happy I chose London as my city to study. I think the lack of a language barrier made a huge difference…

London – April
My time in London has been rewarding in a magnitude of ways. I believe I grew personally, academically, and professionally. I was lucky enough to have 7 amazing roommates (it was entirely random) who positively contributed to my time abroad. I saw wonderful cities, tried amazing foods, and made some of the best memories of…
The Country of England
One of the plus sides of studying abroad in London is the accessibility to a global city. It is the most visited city in the world, and the home to a vast amount of diversity. I noticed this diversity in the people, the food, and the experiences. Another plus side of studying abroad in London…
The City of London
London has been the most amazing, enriching, diverse, and culturally-stimulating city I’ve ever been to! It’s the most visited city in the world and leads the global economy. My top 3 favorite places in London include: Brick Lane – the best Indian food I’ve ever had and the coolest vintage shops surrounding the area! Also, the…
Classes Abroad
I chose not to participate in an internship abroad, but I’m still taking classes towards my major and certificate while I’m in London. I’m working towards the certificate in International Business and will complete the program by the end of this semester. I find this experience enriching since my professors are all from England and…

London – February, Post 2
In London, the main transportation system is the tube, which is the subway. It’s super fast and efficient for most areas of London, and much cleaner compared to NYC subways (haven’t seen rats either so that’s a plus). We’re given an oyster card that gives us access to all of London (which is so nice…
London – Month 2
So I’m more than a month in on my abroad experience in London! It’s been an amazing, enriching month where I’ve already so much of the world. It’s definitely been a smoother transition from Pittsburgh to London due to the equivalent language; however, it is still hard to understand the Brits sometimes and their slang….
January in London – Post 3 (Paris)
Our learning network, CAPA, offered an optional program through Something New that took students to Paris for the weekend! Fortunately, they provided hotel accomodation, tours, transportation to and from Paris to England, and breakfast. We took the EuroStar from St. Pancras International Station and arrived in Paris early Friday morning. We started our tour at…
