Study Abroad in London

Considering study abroad? Consider study abroad in London. Whether your focus is literature, history, or current international affairs, London holds an honored place. London is also a seat for international finance, fashion, design, publishing, and soccer madness.

London is also one of the easiest destinations to get into. For starters, they speak English. Secondly, air fares to London are incredibly cheap. The costs of the Study Abroad London programs themselves (tuition, room & board) are neither the highest nor the lowest, and bargains can be found. Besides, there are many experienced and reputable programs competing for students.

Most colleges have links to study abroad programs or centers in London. If not, they can provide you with information. I recommend talking to an academic counselor. Get in touch with former participants and get their advice. A Web search is good for background information, but it turns up so much information that it's hard to decide which school to choose. Rather than forge your own program, lean toward programs that have known, solid offerings that transfer credits back to your major.

To liven up your study abroad experience in London, look for these add-ons:

• Renowned faculty. Studying with the masters in the field is always good.
• Tours and outings. Most programs will include day trips, shows, and tours. Your choice of programs may depend on your choice of side trips. Maybe you want to see Wales, or pop over to France. These may be included, or optional.
• Location and access. There is London, the metropolis, and London, the town. Look carefully at the location of a school and decide if you want to be downtown (for the nightlife) or out a bit (for the peace and quiet).
