At the end of this academic year, I would find myself with 10 of the 11 required economics courses. The study abroad program I chose to participate in, titled “IES Study London,” encompasses a comprehensive British experience that stands out greatly as a program covering topics from theater to finance. Although I would primarily take political science/sociology courses, I would have a huge opportunity to share space and interact with students from different academic and cultural backgrounds. Not only would I have the opportunity to make local British friends, but meeting other international students from other parts of the world would further help me improve my social relationships.
