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? | A student who is outgoing and willing to venture outside their comfort zone will do well in London. One must be proactive in making friends and meeting natives. |
| * What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile? | I gained a perspective on international cultures as well as a new perspective of my own culture back home. The academic structure is very different in England and may be difficult to get used to but I can picture myself going back to study further. |
