Oxford leading us out..
It’s crazy to say that this is my last blog of my trip. I have had so much fun and learned so much. I spent my last learning day in Oxford. There were so many old medieval-like buildings, and tons of people on bikes and motorcycles. We were led again by Tim, who was our…
B C U later
My last class at BCU was filled with so much information that expanded my knowledge so much. I am so glad I had the opportunity to explore Birmingham City University and meet amazing faculty and students. Without this trip, I would still be blindsided in so many aspects of the world that were brought to…
Childhood > Uni
What I learned today made it the most rememberable day on this trip so far. We visited the Ladywood Family Center, which is a place where parents can drop off their children, along with their belongings and do whatever they need to do for the day. It is almost equivalent to a daycare-like setting, however…
A Peaky Blinder life
The Black Country Museum was filled with many old timey buildings, some with props and some you could actually shop in! The Black Country folks built the world’s first working steam engine, introduced minimum wage, produced the anchor for the Titanic, and basically built all of Crystal Palace!! Because the Black Country had coal mines,…

There were 10 beautiful British cats that wanted lots of love. After we left the cafe we explored many of the shopping centers and got souvenirs for our…
Not so different after all?
In today’s lecture, I learned so much about the healthcare system in the UK. The group got to talk to wonderful healthcare professionals about their role and how the healthcare system runs from the top of the hierarchy to the bottom. The beginning of the lecture was taught by David Waters who is an associate…
Birmingham beauty
So far being in the United Kingdom has been the best experience. Coming on the trip I was very nervous because it was my first time ever being on a plane. My first experience at the airport was very hectic, but I got to learn the beginner ropes on how to handle stressful situations there…
