What are you most excited for during your study abroad semester?
I am so excited to experience everything London has to offer! My internship is located in a really exciting area of London; Buckingham Palace is a 20-minute walk away and there are so many shops and cool things to see in an area that I know I will be spending a lot of time in. I look forward to exploring the city and experiencing the art culture in London, too!
