As soon as I came back to the US, I immediately wanted to go back. I got to go straight to the beach with my family, but I was missing my friends and the city I had grown to love. London was absolutely amazing, the transportation is really something I will miss the...

Studying abroad was an AMAZING experience. I learned so many great things. There are definitely many things I would’ve changed before going abroad. For example, do not pack a lot of clothes. You will find so many amazing boutiques and stores to buy new clothes...
