PROGRAM OVERVIEW :
This trip will allow students to become completely familiar with the city of London and comfortable with the public transportation system. The tour will be guided by two Valencia professors and not a travel agent, allowing for experiences not normally provided by tour companies. Sites have been carefully chosen to provide a unique learning and travel experience. These sites (tentatively) include Windsor Castle, the Globe Theater, the Tower of London, multiple museums, Houses of Parliament, and a day trip to Bath and Stonehenge. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
An in-depth, one city based, learning experience of the many cultural aspects of the city of London, England. This will be an opportunity to become familiarized with the transportation system, museums, cultural events, and major historical districts of the city of London. There will be an emphasis on the humanities including art, history and culture.
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU APPLY:
- The weather
in London during March can be somewhat chilly, with temperatures hovering at around 48-60 degrees F on average. It is a good idea to pack clothes that you can layer.
- Bring an umbrella that can withstand strong rain and wind.
- Bring along a pair of shoes that are comfortable to walk in. London is a city where going by foot is often the best option.
- If you have special dietary needs, bring extra money for meals and snacks.
- Valencia’s Student Development Office does not allow drinking alcohol on this trip.
- It is understood that students will be acting as cultural ambassadors from the U.S. and representing Valencia positively to our foreign hosts.
