My Study Abroad Experience
My university journey would never be complete without highlighting how undoubtedly amazing my study abroad experience was. It widened my horizon in all and every sector, and made possibilities truly endless. I remember the months of preparation and uncertainties that led to this amazing experience, where I found myself.
Visiting Richmond The American International University in London and living in the heart of the city filled my days with purposeful and exciting academic endeavours while learning across board the beauties of different cultures. Opportunities springing from every Sainsbury or M&S run very different from the typical cafeteria run. The train strikes and getting lost as a full initiation into being a Londoner, oh how little things spark such great joy.
My afternoons varied from plane spotting at Myrtle Avenue, visiting the many museums or just going around and enjoying the bliss that comes with a new city because one must not forget that while there’s study there’s also abroad
My flatmates, a pair of people from places I might never visit in my lifetime were my joy and my pain but our love for exploration of the city of London and beyond made things slightly bearable with late night/ early morning exploration and many discussions I half understood what they were saying but laughed all the same.
While my study abroad experience has heightened my opportunities, I cannot forget to mission how the instructions of learning was superb. I fell in love with a course I thought I’d never go back to. I came home at the end of my sojourn with many memories so much so I still feel like a part of me was left behind that I must surely go pick up in time
