Museums and castles theatre and royalty all in a short time
Shane Kucera, a senior Journalism major, participated in the 2005 British Summer Institute.
I visited more museums, castles, theatres and pubs than I can count. I marched with 250,000 people through the capital of Scotland.I stared at artwork firsthand that I thought I would only study in books. These are just a few of my study abroad experiences that changed my life, and they are experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I learned more in England and Scotland during the 2005 British Summer Institute than I have in any semester of college. I was in a constant state of awe, waking up every morning in another country to see so many things new and different.
to put in words how much I every minute I was overseas. words won't allow me to describe my experience, so we a short list of a few more had the chance to do: I watched ht play at Shakespeare's Globe saw the Queen and Prince took a boat across Loch Ness, th of July picnic in the mountains northern Scotland, stood at the top Paul's Cathedral, walked across bey Road and drank pints of dark beer th a Scot while singing Beatles songs the top of our lungs.The only thing I didn't like about studying abroad is that it didn't last long enough.
