International Experience

While in London, England I visited historical sights such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. In Bath, England I had the pleasure of visiting the Roman Bath Spas and the Jane Austen Centre. I attended the University of Westminster where I was an international student enrolled in a communications course. I sat in the audience of Britain’s number one reality television show (‘Big Brother’s Big Mouth’). I lived in a dormitory where I had the opportunity to mingle with individuals from all over Europe. I met a group of American peers who too traveled through the Global Student Experience study abroad program with whom I still speak to today.
