Stories from Abroad
Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.
It is cliche to say, but I had the most immersive, life-changing experience when studying abroad at the University of Westminster in London. The city is a melting pot of various languages, cultures, customs, history, etc. I learned so much just by walking through the streets of London and getting out of my comfort bubble.
Sydney Z.
Student; Georgia College and State University
I went on the excursion tour around London, Stonehenge, Brighton, Bath, the Shakespeare World Theatre, and Borough Market – all wonderful experiences. I am very grateful for my study abroad experience and would recommend it to everyone.
