Anna Ramsook- St Mary’s University-London
My name is Anna Ramsook, and I’m a junior at the U of A! I am majoring in biochemistry and minoring in human health and values. I am also a CBC ambassador and peer mentor! This past summer, I studied abroad in London through UA’s partner, St Mary’s University. I spent 6 weeks in London and took a class called Renaissance London. I loved this class because I got to learn about the history of London while exploring the city on my daily adventures. Over the course of 6 weeks, I did all of the classic tourist activities such as visiting Buckingham Palace
and riding the London Eye. I also explored some local favorites such as Green Park and the Wimbledon Championships. My weekends consisted of traveling to see the White Cliffs of Dover, the beach in Brighton, Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France! My time abroad allowed me to see so many new things and learn about British culture and customs. I also gained confidence in navigating a new place through boats, trains, planes, and, of course, the underground. “Mind the Gap” became my favorite phrase! This was the best way I could have spent my summer, and I cannot wait to study abroad again next summer!
