Literary London 2009—Are you making the most of May?
Are you making the most of May? Put a flourish on the end of the Spring semester by spending Maymester in London. Literary London will put you in the midst of the world's greatest theatre district, the grandeur of centuries-old palaces and cathedrals, stunning museums and libraries, English gardens in fill bloom, and the buzz of a vibrant metropolis with something for everyone.
Literary London offers the opportunity to earn three hours of humanities credit through a compact, two-week course format, studying English literature and culture in England. Participants will reside in a classic Victorian neighborhood with easy access by foot, bus, and rail to the best of London and beyond. The trip schedule includes daily walks and tours within the city in addition to excursions by train to visit sites outside the city, including Windsor Castle, Salisbury Cathedral, and the great ancestral home, Wilton House.
It's the perfect combination: the value of group travel, the practicality of earning credit toward graduation at home while traveling abroad, and—most of all—the posh, heady, vibrant, brilliant, and simply smashing experience of spending two weeks in London! Consider it: have you really got your plans for May in proper order?
