If you’ve ever wanted a more in depth look at the experience of students studying abroad with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) or the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU), you’ll get a chance to learn more this Spring as we follow student blogs.

This semester we have one student from each of our study abroad sites; Prague, London and Johannesburg blogging weekly about their experience studying abroad in a new country, as well as a look into their specific programs. Although students are unable to blog while in Cuba, we’ll also get a chance to learn more about the program in Havana at the end of the semester with a reflection essay from one of our students.

In her first post we follow SarahBrooke Vanaman, who is studying with RADA in London this Spring, as she checks in to her dorm, attends orientation and gets to know a little more about the London community.
