"And those in England…." ~ Shakespeare, Henry V Past Review
By A student (Theater Studies, Wellesley College) - abroad from 09/09/2013 to 12/13/2013 with
London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art: London - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained a new level of self-sufficiency living alone in a major city by myself. Studying at a conservatory helped me grow as a performer while the many adventures I enjoyed have left me changed as a person. Absolutely worthwhile!
