Why Study Abroad in the UK?

"In London, I truly got a sense of cultural awareness and realized how cultures can influence your choice in food, clothing, neighborhood, religion, language... I had to problem-solve on numerous occasions in London, whether that was navigating myself in a new city without GPS or having to brainstorm ideas for a policy-briefing at my internship." - Rollins Study Abroad Alum
