What you make of it

The Arcadia program at the University of Westminster is really good. There are really great classes offered to study abroad students. If you are a media student and take two classes at the Harrow campus you are required to live there which is a bit out from the center of London but it isn't too bad if you have a monthly oyster card (student discount). Also, my best advice to meet people on this program... GET INVOLVED. Join a team or a club and your experience will be amazing and the friends and memories you make will be forever!
