A Look Back
| * If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same program? | Yes |
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | You have to be academically and professionally driven and ready for a very fast paced and expensive life style. But it will all be worth it if you are the type of person that thrives in a fast moving environment with like-minded people! |
| * What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile? | My study abroad was amazingly worthwhile. I feel like I just want to keep traveling and I eventually want to live in London again after I graduate from college. I wish I had gone abroad for a full year! |
