Reflecting on My Study Abroad Experience, Back in Charleston by Peyton Baxley

Now that I am back in the summer heat of Charleston, I believe that I have a clearer idea of what my study abroad trip to London really meant to me. I have been surprisingly sentimental about it, especially because I went into the experience not expecting to make any “real” friends. However, the people I met on this trip were the most valuable part … Continue reading Reflecting on My Study Abroad Experience, Back in Charleston by Peyton Baxley

On to Scotland (July 4, 2022) by Reese Dickerhoff

Hey y’all! I arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland yesterday and it is beautiful! From the mountains to the sea, the city is filled with amazingly beautiful old architecture. The pace of things is so much slower here, but the tourist element of where we are staying cannot be avoided. I am loving the food, especially the haggis pies, and the scotch whisky here is unlike anything … Continue reading On to Scotland (July 4, 2022) by Reese Dickerhoff

Initial Impressions and Week One (June 27, 2022) by Reese Dickerhoff

Hey y’all! I have been in the United Kingdom for over a week now and the pace of life and the culture have surprised me in a number of ways. It may be a blind spot for me as I am a country boy, but everyone walks quickly down the street and starts their day with a purpose I am unaccustomed to. That may be … Continue reading Initial Impressions and Week One (June 27, 2022) by Reese Dickerhoff

Live Performances Abroad by Peyton Baxley

While reflecting on this past month in London, England, I find myself most affected by the live performances that I was able to view. Since being here, I have seen The Phantom of the Opera, King Lear, and My Fair Lady with my class. Too, I also saw Mad House with some friends. All of these performances were amazing, two of them causing me to … Continue reading Live Performances Abroad by Peyton Baxley

London by Nora Gore

I have been in London for over a week and I can already feel myself forming a routine and becoming more comfortable living here. Even though the UK is a predominantly English-speaking country, there are still many differences in culture and lifestyle. There is an abundance of cultural diversity everywhere you go and it is exciting to hear multiple different languages a day as you … Continue reading London by Nora Gore

Living Like a Local: Food in a Global City by Peyton Baxley

One of the most exciting aspects of studying abroad is the food. Despite the fact that I am in London, England, an English-speaking country, there are many cultural differences that are coming to light as I conclude my first week here. In just a short period of time, I have traveled all across the country and walked countless miles, all while learning. Food is a … Continue reading Living Like a Local: Food in a Global City by Peyton Baxley

Study Abroad Reflection by Olivia Yalden

As my time in London is quickly (and sadly) coming to an end, I have had time to reflect on my amazing experience and can provide advice/information on how other future study abroad students may feel when they are in the same situation I am in now. With having such a finite amount of time in a new place, it is normal to strive to … Continue reading Study Abroad Reflection by Olivia Yalden

Global Classroom- Exploring the City of London by Olivia Yalden

After being in London for about 2 months now, I can confidently say the academics of my program have been very different but also very exciting and enriching compared to courses and schoolwork at the College of Charleston. From a technical standpoint, there are less tiny assignments due more frequently, but rather 2 or 3 major assignments for the course that are weighted heavily in … Continue reading Global Classroom- Exploring the City of London by Olivia Yalden
