I was enamored by KCL as a host university due to its centric location in the heart of London (the literature capital of the world, not to mention) and its world-class ranking as a literary institution. At KCL, I had the opportunity to study a range of diverse modules, all the way from Eighteenth-Century Travel Writing and Theory, Politics, and Culture after the 1960s to First World War Literature and Twentieth-Century American Fiction. In order to strengthen my concentration in creative writing, I also was involved in the KCL-focused societies of Book Club: A Thousand Splendid Crumbs and Creative Writing Society, one in which I found in my niche of fellow bookworms and the other in which I was able to publish my own writings.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  \n\n  <div class=\"quote-container\">\n\n    <div class=\"left\">\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description quote\">\n\n    \n  <p>KCL was a dream come true for this English nerd, so I hope it can be a home to those interested in pursuing the humanities, especially those with a penchant for all things literature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n              <div class=\"attribution\">\n          Melanie Romero\n\n        <\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"image-container\">\n            \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/overseas-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/03\/Melanie-Romero-768x768.png\"\n          data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/overseas-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2023\/03\/Melanie-Romero-768x768.png 768w\"          data-sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 50vw, (min-width:768px) 100vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n                  role=\"none\"\n        \n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":320,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-638","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
