A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? the london internship is a life rewarding experience. you understand the london culture to the fullest and live like a true brit if you allow yourself to. your internship will most probably not be what you expect, but try and make the most of it. the student that will benefit most from this program is someone who is open to a new environment and new methods of having fun.
