Dear Global Education Office:
Interestingly, I'm a Biology Major and I plan to study medicine after Duke, and before this summer, I had never really been exposed much to the world of theater. Needless to say, my experience was amazing. Since being back on campus, I now frequently attend plays and…

Dear Global Education Office:
My first day in Oxford was a busy one. After about a day's worth of travelling, I arrived on campus in desperate need of sleep and food. After getting relatively lost in the city, my friends and I stumbled upon a pub. While they were excited to…

Dear Global Education Office:
As a lover of the arts, I applied to the Duke in London Drama theater program with the supposition that my days would consist of European adventures, while my nights would be filled with "Broadway-style" shenanigans. My time reflected this postulation, but I did not consider strongly…

Dear Global Education Office:
Duke in London took us from Sophocles to Laura Wade, through the Royal Opera House, out into the Globe Theatre, and eventually into the fish-n-chip shop outside the Roundhouse. Any artist will tell you that the best way to learn is to immerse oneself in as many…

Dear Global Education Office:
My friend and I got the chance to experience the MTV EMAs in Belfast, Northern Ireland. We saw free concerts from Snow Patrol and Jason Derulo, as well as having our picture taken on red carpet. It was INCREDIBLE!

Dear Global Education Office:
The 2012 Duke in London-Drama program attended 28 productions including operas, modern dance shows, plays, monologue collections, musicals, and verbatim theatre. Our class paid special attention to Shakespeare, however, as a prolific playwright, particularly in Britain. We saw Richard III at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and as "groundlings"…

Dear Global Education Office:
Although the best I could muster in the languages department after a semester abroad was a half-decent imitation of an Englishman, studying in London for the fall was one of the defining decisions of my Duke experience.
As many who live and study away attest, often the…

Dear Global Education Office:
When people ask how my semester in London was, I can only say that it was an eye-opening experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me things I could never have learned had I stayed in the United States. Many sides of my…

Dear Global Education Office:
My semester abroad in England has changed the way I think about America. Living in Brighton was an amazing eye-opener to just how limited the typical American's line of vision is. Because it has the highest concentration of gay people in the United Kingdom, Brighton offered a…

Dear Global Education Office:
Seeing Big Ben, the London Eye, and Trafalgar Square are experiences that people never forget. However, living on a college campus in England -- hearing my flatmates' thoughts on everything from college tuition to McDonald's to politics, debating the difference between jell-o and jelly, exploring East London…

Dear Global Education Office:
Queen Mary, University London, a direct enrollment option, provided a great opportunity to learn about British culture. Because the Duke relationship with Queen Mary is so well-established, I received direct transfer credit for the biology and economics courses I took. I shared a flat with amazing British…

Dear Global Education Office,:
My decision to spend the summer in the United Kingdom through the Duke in Oxford program was probably the best decision I've ever made. From the moment I took the bus from Heathrow airport to the city of Oxford, I was overwhelmed with excitement for the next…
