Central College Abroad - Study & Intern in London

I had so much fun during my semester in London through Central's Study Abroad program. I learned so much about myself, gained teaching experience through an internship, met lots of new friends, and learned a lot through my classes. I was able to travel all over Europe on the weekends and during spring break. These experiences are ones that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world!

Studying abroad in London changed my entire outlook on life. While abroad I learned independence, self-management, and spontaneity. I took part in an their internship program where I worked three days a week in a PR office. My internship really allowed me to be fully immersed in the culture of England. I also took 3 college courses while abroad. I had 3 day weekends ever weekend which allowed me to travel to over 7 different countries. To top it all off I met my husband to be! I couldn't be more pleased with CCA and would recommend the experience to anyone who asks!

CCA helped all of their students every step of the way! The staff in the office is friendly and the staff abroad were so knowledgeable!

I got to experience the culture while living in the center of London. The program paid for multiple excursions to different English cities (Liverpool, Chester, Canterbury) as well as to two theatre shows and a football match!

I also had the chance to watch greyhound racing with the program and go on city walks to get integrated into the city.

LOVED my experience with CCA and would recommend anyone give CCA a chance!

My experience in London has been exciting and new. Monday-Thursday I attend classes that actually take you places so you can get a first hand experience with what you are learning and the cost of it is included in tuition fees. For our long weekends I usually take that opportunity to explore the city by walking or finding events to attend. I shop in the markets, ride the tube (subway) like a native, and I can even feel myself understanding more of the British language. The highlights has been all of the festivals London offers and the fantastic countryside views. The only downfall is that the standard of living in such a popular city is quite high when looking at the exchange rate. Other than that I have been enjoying myself. Trying all of the delicious baked goods, meeting some amazing natives as well as foreigners, and becoming a much savvier traveler. The staff here are supportive and just excited as we are about the classes and our individual adventures. The most disappointing thing about my time in London is that it is flying by, but so far it is the trip of a lifetime.
