Would you recommend this program? |
While London was amazing and a fun city to study in and live in for a semester, the Kings College London study abroad program was unorganized. U of M was on top of most things, but I had a lot of problems with the actual office in London. The classes were interesting, and I met some great people. I would just recommend studying at a different University through a different school or study abroad program if London is where you want to be. |
Advice: |
If you choose London, study abroad through CEA, IES, or the Syracuse program. I knew people that enjoyed those programs a lot more than I enjoyed mine. |
Fluency required? |
Did not matter (English spoken). |
Will this help you in your profession? |
While this experience didn't directly help with my college career, it was a valuable life experience. I traveled all over Europe and became much more cultured and independent. |
Comments: |
Don't pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. It was the best five months of my life, and I don't know anyone who wouldn't agree with me. |
