King’s College London

In the fall of 2019, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to study abroad in London, England at King’s College London. I chose this school so that I could finish my political science degree, but more importantly because the exciting pace of the city and wide range of new cultures to experience. One of the most exciting parts of my time in London was the chance to join the GKT women’s football club, the premiere soccer team for KCL. The team held practices once per week and had games twice per week. I am so grateful to this team for welcoming me as a friend, for showing me what life as a Londoner means, and for sharing in my love of soccer. I also greatly appreciated the ease of access to travel that London offered. With London as my base, I was able to travel to 17 new cities in 7 new countries. The freedom I experienced during my study abroad was unparalleled and I will be forever grateful for the memories I made.
