Can I go back to my favourite city now? Past Review
By A student (Marketing., Providence College) - abroad from 09/02/2012 to 12/15/2012 with
Boston University: London - London Internship Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I had never traveled to another country before going abroad. After visiting 11 countries while there, I have a new sense of what it is like in other places since seeing them first hand. It was definitely worthwhile, I loved London, it was definitely my favorite country. After traveling to different countries, I never doubted picking London as my city of choice to study abroad.

| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Expected to be living in an apartment, but it was dorms. It did not rain as much as I thought it was going to (did not need to bring 2 pairs of rain boots). There were places very nearby to buy things such as towels, hangers, toiletries, etc. We were provided with bed spreads/sheets/pillows. |
