What’s on offer?

• Study Abroad is a rejuvenating life-changing experience, giving students a new perspective on the world beyond borders, people of other nations, and their own life in the USA. As Proust wisely put it: “the real voyage of discovery consists not just in being in new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.”
• The London 05 academic program proudly presents:
  Theatre Arts 101: An introduction to London theatre, encompassing contemporary & Shakespeare, presented in lecture-discussion and theatre visits. Taught by a London-based Theatre Arts professor.
  History 135: British History since the late medieval age, with a London focus, presented in lecture-discussion and “hands-on history” field trips. Taught by CCCD faculty and program leader Professor Moore (more details see below).
  Both courses are UC/CSU transferable and worth 3 units each (total = 6 credits). You may take one or the other or both. No classes on Fridays!
• The program price includes:
  • Shared occupancy room in a central London student apartment with kitchen, bathroom, living area, television (it’s in English!!), and telephone.
  • Four theatre performances and a backstage tour of the Globe Theatre (all program students whether you take Theatre Arts 101 or not).
  • Two out-of-town one-day excursions to Hampton Court (Henry VIII’s palace) and one other to be decided – Bath, Oxford, Stonehenge or Dover.
    International Student Identity Card with limited overseas travel and accident insurance.
  • A Zone 1 London transit pass (tube and bus).
  • Transfers from and to the airport for group flight participants.
  • Orientation program and welcome reception. The travel contractor (Accent) makes available its London center for information services. There is a lending library and shared use of a computer with Internet access.

TEN very good reasons why you should study abroad in London:

• You will learn a new language – British English – without ever having to sit in a classroom.
• You will live in the heart of a world capital with an energy and excitement that other cities only dream about. “When a man is tired of London” Dr. Samuel Johnson famously observed “he is tired of life”.
• You can listen to the most famous free speech hang out on earth at Speakers Corner every Sunday morning at Marble Arch (and contribute?).
• You can travel back thousands of years and see ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Greece all in one day at the British Museum.
• You can feed the pigeons and get wet from the fountain spray of Trafalgar Square beneath Lord Nelson’s column and before the mighty National Gallery, one of the world’s greatest art collections. Admission is Free!
• You can buy a copy of Time Out, shop till you drop down Oxford Street (busiest shopping street in Europe), amble through outdoor markets, get poor in Harrods Department Store, eat a burger in the world’s first Hard Rock Café, and finish off the evening listening or dancing to live music of every kind on earth. It didn’t earn the handle “Swinging London” for nothing!
• You could sit in on a session at the House of Commons and learn how to be verbally confrontational and remain civil at the same time. Free entry but get in line. Across the street is Westminster Abbey, sepulcher of royalty for a thousand years.
• You can people-watch on the underground tube or the top deck of a double-decker bus, stroll down the Strand to a free street entertainment in Covent Garden, or listen to a free concert at the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields (lunch in the crypt!) or…
• You could take the Jack-the-Ripper walking tour, see the world’s largest cut diamond (350-carat Great Star of Africa) in the Tower of London’ Crown Jewels, climb to the top of St. Paul’s Cathedral’s dome, or if you can afford it, ride the London Eye.
• Feeling tired? Central London has more open green and wooded spaces than any other cities of comparable size in the world – St. James’s Park, Regents’ Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Check out the circumference: Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest, Greenwich, Kew Gardens, Richmond. London has rail tracks the way LA has freeways.

And remember – it will all look good on your resume. Graduate Schools and employers look favorably on those with that special perspective earned by living and studying overseas.

The International Student I.D. is included. The card includes a very basic sickness and accident insurance policy.
