After months of preparation, it is finally time for me to leave for London. To be completely frank, I am very nervous; I’ve never been out the country, but it has always been a dream of mine to travel to Europe’s biggest cities–especially London.<\/p>\n
I am confident that I have made the right decisions in preparing myself. I reached out to other Rollins students who have participated in the program in the past for tips (shoutout to Hannah Sneden and Erin Cover), I contacted the Global Opportunities office at the school with any questions I had, and I connected with one of my flat mates who assisted me in anyway she could. Taking these measures has definitely eased my reservations. The only worries I have pressing my mind at this time are learning how to navigate the tube and finding the right cell phone plan for while I am over there. I wish I was going to London with a SIM card that would allow me to communicate with my family back home and that would help me navigate the city right away. I will try to touch on these two topics in future blog posts to help anyone in the future.<\/p>\n
While I am at QMUL, I hope that I do well in my studies, meet new people, and explore as much of London as possible. In the end, however, I really just want to be able to look back and be thrilled with my decision to go abroad like so many other Rollins students have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
