Name: Sean Hamilton Major: Art - Studio Art Program: Art in London Traveled Abroad Before: No
Q: What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of your study abroad experience? A: Schnitzel, no one in the states makes schnitzel like the Dutch and Czech!
Q: Why did you choose this destination? A: It was specifically an art study abroad, and since I'm an art major that is what determined my choice.
Q: What are some things that surprised you about the campus, the classes, the culture, customs or traditions? A: Because of the redness in my beard i fit right in, in fact on several occasions I was asked to do surveys as a resident of Surbiton, and I didn't even live there. I thought that was really neat. Before I went over there I had no idea the food was going to be as good as it was! Also when you go to a restaurant you don't tip if your a student.
Q: What are some things you would like students to know about studying abroad in this destination or the program provider you studied with? A: Don't plan on packing because of how you heard how the weather was! London was supposed to be chilly and rainy, we ended up having record great days!
Q: What advice would you offer? A: Really research things and places that you may want to visit when you get there. When I got there I had an idea of where I wanted to go, but not so much how to get there and that, I think, is most of the fun finding out what directions and such to take.
Q: What was your academic goal while studying abroad? A: To really gain an understanding for the art atmosphere around the world, most specifically that of the street art variety. London was riddled with it, and I loved it! I can't wait to go back!
