In January of 2009, spring semester of my freshman year at Houghton College, I traveled to London along with 29 other Houghton students for the London track of the First-Year Honors Program.
"We had to pay for the privilege of living in London for three months by working incredibly hard: sitting through three-hour lectures, spending all afternoon at museums like the National Gallery and the Tate Britain, reading works of philosophy and literature by the likes of Plato and Dante in one evening, and writing a five-page paper every weekend. It was intense, and very often quite stressful. Yet now, I can look back on the experience and honestly say that I loved it." ("When Misery Has Company," paper written about my London experience, posted on my London blog)Read the blog, kept during and after the trip, here.
