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.
