Four great cities and some of the world’s
finest universities are the foundation of this program.
You will be surrounded by history and tradition as you
travel through England, Ireland, and Italy. Join us
for an enriching and exciting month in the hallowed
halls of these famous universities and cosmopolitan
cities.
London
Our journey through four cities will begin with four nights
in London,
where we will stay in central London a short distance from
Hyde
Park. From there, we will explore by foot or by chartered
bus all that London has to offer, including St.
Paul's and Westminster
Cathedral, the Tower
of London, the Houses of Parliament, and much more. Students
will also enjoy a night of Shakespeare at the Globe
Theatre, visits to the National
Portrait Gallery, and concerts in Hyde Park.
Oxford
Our next stop will be Oxford, where we will have the privilege
of staying at St.
Hilda’s College, Oxford University. From there,
we will be steps from the University’s galleries, museums
and libraries, as well as the River Cherwell and Christ Church
Meadows.
Dublin
A short flight across the Irish Sea will take us to Dublin
and the magnificent Trinity
College Dublin in the heart of the city. Trinity has a
history that goes back to the 15th century, with such famous
alumni as Burke, Locke and Yeats. After taking our morning
classes in the college, we will spend our afternoons exploring
the city, with free entry to over 30 of Dublin's attractions.
A night at the Abbey
Theatre will be among the highlights of our immersion
in Ireland as we fall in love with the country.
Rome
Our last stop on this program will be spent in the Eternal
City of Rome. We will visit major sights, including the Church
of Trinita dei Monti, the Spanish Steps, and the Piazza de
Spagna. We will explore the Colosseum, the Forum, the Vatican,
and even have the opportunity to attend an audience with the
Pope! Our last night will feature an unforgettable evening
banquet and awards ceremony to celebrate our amazing journey.
