Over the course of the past 3 months, I had the opportunity to participate in one of UGA’s most esteemed study abroad programs, UGA at Oxford. In pursuit of more rigorous coursework and exposure to new cultures, I took a semester off of my study of public relations to study at the University of Oxford through UGA’s School of Public and International Affairs.
This was a transformative experience, both academically and personally. I had the opportunity to take courses outside of my major, exploring subjects in history, psychology and politics. We also got to participate in unique Oxford traditions and spend the term delving into the university’s student culture.
During my first two weeks in Oxford, we acclimated to our new environment and workload with a two-week seminar in British Politics. We also had the opportunity to go on a trip to London and visit the British Houses of Parliament and the Churchill War Rooms. This was just one of many educational excursions that truly enhanced my experiences while learning abroad.
