Why study in London with SDSU English and Comparative Literature Summer 2003
Up front, there are three great things about this summer study abroad opportunity: 1. ALL your units (up to 6) will be processed through the regular SDSU REGline system--meaning you get to study abroad without any of the headaches associated with getting SDSU to accept units from other institutions; AND, FIE offers summer internship opportunities all over LONDON, for students in ALL fields, so you get real-world international experience (that will NEVER look bad on a resumé) AND units toward graduation to boot. 2. London! One of the greatest cities on the face of the planet. 3. Kensington! FIE has its classrooms and residential life facilities in one of the swankest areas of London adjacent to cool museums, great art galleries, hot pubs and chic night spots. What's NOT so great?
Well, it is a tad expensive. While the final cost for the program
will depend on the number of students that travel with our group, you are
still looking at a little over $4700 + airfare + SDSU student fees for
our adventure. But, because you are registered as an SDSU student,
you are eligible for financial aid as you would be in a regular semester.
These fees INCLUDE:
