I wanted to fully immerse myself in British Culture and the Education System.  I opted to spend an entire year abroad to really understand what it feels like to live abroad, and LSE has been a dream of mine since I began college.  The community the General Course offers to bring together study abroad students is absolutely unprecedented and I had a great opportunity to build relationships with full-time LSE students as well!

I think that students who are truly open to taking risks should study on the General Course.  This course is about self-discovery and exposure beyond our university walls abroad.  One must work extremely hard, but it is so rewarding in the end.
