Southwest Tennessee Community College: London - Theatre in London

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
My study abroad experience was so worth it. Unless you lived in New York you couldn't really experience the intire fullfillment of diversity London has to offer, i mean taking public transportation, may i add is amazing double decker bus, from one destination to another and hearing 4 diffent languages at one time. What makes London so uniqe is you don't have to go far to speak or get to know someone from another country.
