Being able to spend this spring break studying abroad in London was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I made new friends and memories during our time spent in London. It was a great group of people and RD’s! Some of my favorite highlights of the trip were St Paul’s Cathedral, Greenwich, Stonehenge, and Salisbury Cathedral just to name a few. I also enjoyed the free time during the trip that we were given, so that way we could also see the city in our on way. The trip and class noticeably improved my sketching sills from the start of the class, up to the end of the trip. Having a sketch book throughout the trip is also a good way to look back and remember all the sites we saw throughout the trip. My favorite site that we saw on the trip was Westminster Abbey. Even though pictures could not be taken inside, it was nice to experience and take in Westminster without the distraction of your phone. Noticing the numerous graves of all the famous and well know people buried inside made me realize how import Westminster is to the history of the United Kingdom. What stood out to me the most was the westworks façade, with all its beautiful detail throughout the whole façade. What I enjoyed the most about the whole trip was that each day was a new experience. Each day of the trip we explored different parts of London and seeing different sites across the city. This made me realize how sprawling the city is, and that there is so many amazing things to do and see. Spending spring break abroad in London gave me a good sense on what daily life is like in the city, along with the United Kingdom compared to America. London is my favorite city, and I plan on visiting the city again very soon! The week we spent in the city just scratched the surface, I am looking forward to coming back and exploring more parts of London.
