AIFS Abroad in London, England (Shakespeare's Globe): Summer

Shall I compare this program to a summers day…what a wonderful time I had in London. Not only was it a remarkable academic experience, but it also provided an opportunity to forge lasting friendships. The faculty and staff of the Globe higher education program were made up of a brilliant array of scholars and artists that provided a diverse selection of lessons from historic dances to stage combat. As students we were given the opportunity to see multiple globe theater productions in person, which we then reflected on and analyzed to develop and perform scenes of our own. The location of the theater itself was ideal for exploring central London, I often found myself inspired by the rich history of the city. I recommend this program to anglophiles and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike!

I had always knew I wanted to study abroad and when I found the AIFS Shakespeares Globe program I knew it was the perfect fit for me. I was nervous to go even having a situation with my passport right before going, but AIFS was supportive the entire way through. I had the time of my life in London and learned more about Shakespeare than I ever have. AIFS helped me fall in love with London and the UK and it completely changed my view of the world. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
