It is a lot of money to go on this program, but that's how it will be with every study abroad trip. It's still worth it!

The Shakespearience

I loved the Shakespeare program in Stratford and London! Professor Post was so entertaining and made learning about Shakespeare easy! The shows were fabulous! This is one of the easiest and most stimulating
classes at UCLA.
I became close with all of the students in my program and now when I take an English class I always have someone to study with!
You stay in two different hotels and both provide breakfast and on show nights you also get dinner! This really reduced the expenses of buying food.
We were able to take day trips to Oxford and Bath and I took a weekend trip to Brighton.
If you are an English major and looking to get finish your 1500-1700 requirement, DO THIS TRAVEL STUDY!

What would you improve about this program?
Our year, the Olympics were going on so we were in Stratford more than unusual and were only in London for a week. That was unfortunate because Stratford is adorable, but very small and got boring quickly. I would love it if we could spend more time in London, but I understand that the hotel is more expensive there.
