Study Abroad Program

SCT sudents in London There’s a lot to recommend London as a study abroad destination: marvelous public transport and urban park systems, a diverse selection of ethnic foods, the world’s greatest supermarket (Sainsbury’s, if you’re keeping track), and the endearing tendency of the English to use the word ‘whilst.’ Add to that a few far-less important factors such as its status as one of the world’s three major financial hubs and as an established Mecca for the fine arts for longer than America’s been an independent nation, and it’s pretty hard to say ‘no.’ We didn’t. Studying in the former seat of the world’s last great (in terms of size, purely; we withhold our commentary on the moral implications of European colonialism) empire is truly a multicultural experience. Sure, we drank a lot of tea, but we also ate a lot of naan; and for all the time we spent in pubs, we made just as many trips to the Bengali restaurants of East London’s Brick Lane. London isn’t just the UK’s biggest city: it’s a true world city, where different cultures clash, collide and peacefully coexist on a daily basis. And studying at Temple London has an edge on even that: there’s a Sainsbury’s Superstore just around the corner.

photo of Kaitlyn Kurosky"My decision to attend Temple University was based on the variety of study abroad options I would have my junior year. London had always been my top destination and knowing that I could continue my major courses while experiencing a whole new media perspective cemented my choice. London is a city unlike any other, it is incredibly multi-cultural and its energetic pulse never subsided for the three months I was there. Having the opportunity to travel abroad and constantly be exposed to new things was the experience of a lifetime."

After each day of creating more treasured memories, I came home to South Kensington with my awesome roommates. The internship was also a rare treat. My co-workers made me part of the team while they taught me about their side of the film business. I will be forever thankful for my family and Temple University for making this opportunity possible for me. This was a precious gift."
