- If you are even considering studying abroad in London, go for it!01/18/19
I wouldn't trade my study abroad experience for anything! Not only was the summer program in London a great fit for me, but API was as well. It was my first time abroad and my mom appreciated the support API provided. I was able to be independent but
know someone was still there in case I needed something. I also really enjoyed our API group. We had some arranged outings like the London Eye, which gave us a chance to get to know each other so you never felt alone. 8 years later and I still talk to many of them. The London summer program at the University of Westminster was a lot of fun because they designed an international summer school, so I also was able to meet students from all over the world. A cool part of the program is that they also arranged trips, which made it easy to see a ton of stuff without having to plan it myself. Plus, there was plenty of time after class to explore London. Some of my favorite memories were my trip to Wimbledon, Globe Theatre, Tower of London, and the numerous walking tours you could take. There is so much to do and see in London, you will never be bored. If you are even considering studying abroad in London, go for it! You won't regret it. And API helped provide an amazing experience and I would highly recommend them if you plan to study abroad in London or anywhere.
