I went to London this summer. How does this have anything to do with the here and now? Well, USD is ranked 6th in the nation for sending students abroad! I am only in my second year at school here and have already traveled and studied abroad! It is one of the most thrilling experiences I have ever had, and I hope that I can do this more than once more in my life! In fact, I am now looking into being an au pair while working in film in London for a while! The possibilities are endless, and it's all because of one 3 week experience overseas.
I took the class "British Media Systems". We had class for about 2 hours a day Monday-Thursday with field trips in the afternoon. We had 3 day weekends, chances to travel to even more countries, and experiences that will last a lifetime. I sound so cheesy, it's insane, but it makes me so happy to think about! I did not have one bad experience, and it included schooling! Believe you me, class is not my favorite thing in the world, but our teacher made this trip amazing. We toured film studios, the BBC, the Guardian newspaper, a film museum, and more! My weekend trips included Oxford, Wimbledon, and SCOTLAND. I saw Jenna Fischer from the Office (RIGHT before she got engaged!), saw Andy Murray play at Wimbledon, saw the castle from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and stood front row at the red carpet premiere of the new Harry Potter!!!!!! It was overwhelmingly BEAUTIFUL!
If anyone ever has questions about the International Abroad programs, I can help you! Also, make sure to visit that portion of the site, and ask about it on your tour here on campus! You never know what could come of it...the possibilities are endless!

I have more pictures on Facebook! Look me up and make sure you message me that you are looking at USD so I will accept! I tend to befriend people I know, haha.
If you have any questions or comments at all, let me know! I love feedback!
And boy do I love life and USD
