A Summer in London

Spending my summer in one of the best cities in the world is an opportunity I will always be grateful for and always remember. It was without a doubt one of the best summers of my life. I chose to study abroad for several reasons, however two of the most important reasons would have to be to find a sense of myself and to immerse myself into another culture. However, I did find comfort in England because there was no language barrier.

I believe that traveling the world is the best form of education one can receive. IES Abroad gave me so many opportunities to explore England, especially in the summer months. London has so much to offer such as music festivals, activities in Hyde Park, free museums, Wimbledon, and so much more. IES staff also takes several trips with students including Stonehenge, Bath and Brighton.

The academics in London definitely pushed me because it was more informal and discussion based compared to the lectures I receive on my home campus. I liked the challenge though.
