Study
in England
England is one of the single
most popular destinations for
semesters abroad. With beautiful
natural geography, famously
friendly countrymen, and the
glittering city of London, plus
the glorious benefit of English
being the official language,
it is many students' first instinct
when they consider leaving the
country.
Any consideration of study
in England should begin -- where
else? -- in London. The City
on the Thames, Old Foggy London
Town, whatever you call it,
one thing remains constant:
So much of what we are familiar
with today, from the books we
read to the music we listen
to on our iPods to the very
language we speak, owes its
very existence to London. For
centuries, London has been both
the pillar and the centerpiece
of Western civilization, and
that history is omnipresent
at every charming twist of the
road in this city.
But London's charm is not limited
to its past. Today, the city
is as exciting as it has ever
been, as is the rest of this
surprisingly small island-nation
in the North Atlantic. From
the White Cliffs of Dover in
the north to the rolling greenery
of the border with Wales in
the west, England has more to
offer both tourists and study
abroad students alike than can
ever be seen in a lifetime.
Great civilizations have repeatedly
made their home here, and the
evidence of their influence
can be seen in the famously
ordered pillars of Stonehenge,
the Roman ruins at Bath, and
the undeniable Celtic influence
throughout the countryside.
Studying in England, even more
than merely visiting, is an
experience that will change
your life in ways you may never
have thought possible. After
all, some of the most well know
authors of all time - William
Shakespeare, Charles Dickens,
and Jane Austin, to name a few
-- are from this glorious country.
And some of the greatest and
most influential minds in the
history of the world were educated
in England's world-renowned
colleges and universities. Like
Oprah and Britney and, in deference
to England's very own big-time
celebrity, Beckham, the universities
of Oxford and Cambridge are
known by only one name. They
have set the standard for higher
education throughout the world
for centuries, and if you have
the opportunity to either enroll
in one of them or even simply
audit a class or two, your life
will be enriched more than you
could even imagine, or I could
illuminate in this article.
But these two formidable temples
of learning are far from the
only universities offering stellar
educations in England. Indeed,
from the halls of the University
of Leeds to the august classrooms
of the London School of Economics,
the options are limitless when
it comes to your choices for
a world-class British education.
Finally, then, there is the
issue of the location itself.
Attending school in England
is not only exciting and enriching
in an educational sense, but
England today is at the heart
of so much that affects the
world. Not European and not
American, England is a wonderfully
unique country whose culture
is as exciting and as rich today
as it has ever been. So no matter
what you study, and regardless
of where you decide to attend
school in this magical country,
the bottom line is this: You
will be hard pressed to find
a better, more enriching and
exciting place for your study
abroad experience than England.
It is, in the words of that
more famous British guy, "This
royal throne of kings, this
sceptred isle, This earth of
majesty, This seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature
for herself Against infection
and the hand of war, This happy
breed of men, This little world,
This precious stone set in the
silver sea, Which serves it
in the office of a wall Or as
a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier
lands,- This blessed plot, this
earth, this realm, this England"
