THREE REASONS why you should study abroad in LONDON :

  1. It’s overseas YET they speak your language (with different accents!)
  2. Centrally located student apartments puts you right in the heart of the action
  3. Earn UC/CSU transfer units with a world city of culture as your classroom  

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.
