London - The best four months of my life! Past Review
By A student () for
Boston University: London - London Internship Program

A Look Back
| * 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! |
