Day 12: Our Last Day in the UK
Today was our first and last full day in London, and honestly, it feels unreal saying that. We started the morning very early, hopping off the train and stepping right into the city, and the second we turned the corner, Big Ben was just there, sparkling and so iconic. I swear my jaw actually dropped….
Big Ben Saw Me Lose My Wallet and Did Nothing
Today was our final full day in London, and it truly felt like the perfect way to end such an unforgettable trip. We started the day by visiting the Florence Nightingale Museum, where I learned so much more about Florence Nightingale’s life and legacy. Although I already knew she was considered the founder of modern…

Just like that, we are at the end of the trip! It really is insane how much we have done on this trip, how many new people have become friends, and how much I have gained from this trip. I am so happy I got to experience this and I had an amazing time! For…
Day 11: Exploring London
We started our day with the Florence Nightingale museum. We were able to enter the museum before it opened, so we had it all to ourselves. At the museum, we learned lots about her life. Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 on May 12. She was born in Florence Italy and has a older sister…
A Day in London!
Today was our last day, and there was no better way to spend it than in London!

The best day
Today was one of the most exciting and memorable days of our trip to London. From exploring famous landmarks to ending the night with an incredible theater performance, every part of the day was memorable.

West End, Best End!
Today was one of those days that perfectly combined everything I have loved about studying abroad. Great weather, exploring a new city, spending time with friends, and experiencing things I never imagined I would get to do.

Goodbye London!
Today we are in london!!! We started our day with a quick trip on the tube to downtown to check out the Florence Nightingale museum. We learned about her a lot in school, but seeing it from this new perspective was cool because it talked not only about her impact to nursing, but her whole…
Day 11: Birmingham to London
Our last day in Birmingham started with going to our last lectures at Birmingham City University. I know we have been in the building a lot this past week and a half for many lectures, but time has truly flown by. I have enjoyed listening to the multiple health lectures that we received during our…
Time Is Muscle, and So Is Packing
Today was definitely one of the longer and busiest days, unexpectedly. It was our last day in Birmingham before heading to London, which felt exciting since we could visit more places, but that also meant it was nearing the end our our trip. Birmingham had already started to feel comfortable and familiar, so it was…
Day 10: Welcome to London
Today was our last day in Birmingham before heading to London. It honestly felt like such a mix of lectures, goodbyes, and excitement for what was next in London. We started the morning with our first lecture of the day. The lecture focused on cardiovascular disease in adults. The woman teaching us was so nice…
Birmingham —> London
The day began at BCU where we were learning about the growing increase in cardiovascular diseases and why they continue to be one of the leading causes of death around the world. During the session, we discussed how lifestyle factors such as poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, stress, and obesity all contribute to the…
Last Day at BCU!
Today was another really interesting day at Birmingham City University and I honestly learned so much more than I expected. This morning we had a lecture about ECGs, and although I knew they were related to the heart, I never realized how much detail and knowledge actually goes into reading and understanding them. The lecture…
Day 11: Heart Rhythms and Our Trip to London
This morning started earlier than I would’ve liked, but once we got to BCU’s South Campus, the day picked up quickly. We had two final lectures before officially wrapping up our time in Birmingham. The first one focused on cardiovascular diseases, especially how common they are in older adults. It turned into a really thoughtful…
Day 11: Goodbye BCU :(
Today was our last day in Birmingham and our final day of lectures at BCU. It felt very bittersweet.

It’s so hard to believe that it’s our last day in Birmingham! It has been such a great experience, and I was thankful to have the opportunity to participate in an educational session this morning. It was really neat seeing the similarities between the school systems in the UK and the US. Both places have…
Day 10: Sonnets, Shakespeare, and Storms
Today was our trip to Stratford upon Avon, it was a one hour trip to the small town if we took the tube. The tube is another word for the train in the United Kingdom, and I personally like it better because it has a certain vibe to it. We walked to the station and…
