From my third home to my second – by Malina
Having recently got back to London for a few weeks now, a time in which I have relentlessly tried to find a place to live, running across town from lectures to viewings to seminars and so on, I can now say, once settled, that I have truly missed my second home. Living in Boston and … Continue reading From my third home to my second – by Malina
These are a few of the hardest things about studying abroad – by Miriam Frances Jaffe
As wonderful and amazing as my study abroad experience has been, it’s not all been peaches and cream. Adjusting to a new city, new people, and a new system of education have been some of the largest hurdles over which I have had to jump since I first arrived in September, and to be honest, … Continue reading These are a few of the hardest things about studying abroad – by Miriam Frances Jaffe

Returning Home – by Charlotte Jones
The two most FAQs I’ve had since returning to the UK are probably: 1. ‘How was America?!’ and 2. ‘Is it weird being back?’ My response to #1 always feels limited. ‘America was good! How was your New Years?’ – It just doesn’t feel suitable. I don’t know how to describe the last four … Continue reading Returning Home – by Charlotte Jones
72 hours in Paris – by Carly Ann Noah
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to visit Paris. The glamour of the city has always appealed to me, as has the rapid, unapologetic French language. Thus, when an opportunity to spend three days in Paris was presented during my first few weeks at Queen Mary, I couldn’t refuse. Here’s … Continue reading 72 hours in Paris – by Carly Ann Noah
An introvert’s survival guide to study abroad – by Elana Medlicott
Studying overseas is generally depicted as an adventure of a lifetime, an ongoing party (with some studying on the side), and what will undoubtedly be one of the greatest experiences of one’s life. I am not going to attempt to dispute these perceptions, because frankly, I believe them to be true. However, what is often … Continue reading An introvert’s survival guide to study abroad – by Elana Medlicott
Lessons from London – by Miriam Frances Jaffe
The other week I was asked to give some advice to incoming students about studying abroad in London. It’s bizarre to think I’ve been here for an entire semester, and yet, I feel like I only just arrived. At the moment, I’m in an awkward limbo between feeling like a tourist in this city, and … Continue reading Lessons from London – by Miriam Frances Jaffe
Tips for studying abroad in London – by Miriam Frances Jaffe
I have always known that at some point during my academic career, I would study abroad. In my sophomore year of college, I decided to come to Queen Mary University in London for my junior year, and I’ve never looked back. Staying for the year has (so far) proved to be the best decision I … Continue reading Tips for studying abroad in London – by Miriam Frances Jaffe
A weekend away – by Zac Turner
A year abroad in the south of France is not complete without frequent visits to Nice. And three visits in three months does it nicely, even if the second was only a brief stop on the way to Monaco, a mere stepping stone if you will. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve lived … Continue reading A weekend away – by Zac Turner
A Year at Aix-Marseille – by Zac Turner
Signing up for a language joint honours promises, above all, one thing: a year abroad. Unlike many courses which offer the opportunity, after undergoing a somewhat rigorous application process, because, of course, everyone wants to study at UCLA, for me, time spent abroad was guaranteed. Lacking the all-important “American Studies” in my degree title meant … Continue reading A Year at Aix-Marseille – by Zac Turner
An American in Paris – by Miriam
I struggled a lot this week thinking about what to write. I have a lot of ideas running around in my head, but nothing seemed good enough. I tried writing something about the election after it happened, but I couldn’t properly express my feelings about it (and being abroad gives the whole situation a … Continue reading An American in Paris – by Miriam
