Show news 11.02.2009 London London JEFF MATHEWSON _ j News writer Have you had a recent hankering for some bangers and mash? Well now is your chance to fill that appetite. The London Literature and Cinema program is set to begin in May 2010. The program, designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore global cultures, will offer both English and film courses to participating students while they live in the Kensington area of London - near Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. "The London program is a fantastic opportunity for students to get international travel experience and explore global cultures while traveling in a country whose native language is English," said Rick McDonald, London program director and professor of English. Having played host to many of William Shakespeare's plays, as well as being the long-time residence of author Charles Dickens and other notable writers, London immerses students in an in-depth experience of English, media and theatrical history. If theatre isn't your cup of tea, a quick, double-decker bus ride will leave you standing in front of famous sites like Westminster Abbey, the Globe Theater and Buckingham Palace. "There is so much to do and experience there," McDonald said. "London is my favorite city." Participating students will also have the unique opportunity to visit museums, castles, and attend London theatre during their stay. Combine London's rich and prestigious history with the city's excitement and preparation of hosting the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, and students can expect a memorable semester abroad. courtesy of Meggie Woodfleld Four countries in four weeks MEGGIE W00DFIELD Tvlews editor From musicals to comedies, dramas, cutting-edge works, classical and contemporary pieces, students attending the theater study abroad can look forward to four exciting weeks in four countries.
