Talk to recent Syracuse London students!

The best way to understand what to expect in London is to talk to someone who has already participated in the program. Our London global ambassadors took part in London road races, interned at multinational organizations, and took advantage of Syracuse London field trips – ask them about London!

“The biggest focus for me while abroad in London was the culture. Seeing the sights (and tons of soccer games) and snacking my way through the country was how I was able to learn about the culture, and it proved to be an incredibly valuable experience.”
