The campus provides a quiet setting for a very dynamic, international school. I have made friends from all over the world – a great way to create an international business network for my future career. Jason Sainz Bush / Mexico BA with major in Management with an emphasis in Marketing Graduate

The liberal arts curriculum is so beneficial – I’ve had the opportunity to learn a really wide set of skills. The General Education component provides you with additional learning opportunities outside of your Major, and gives you a chance to excel in other areas. London is your classroom: next semester I’ve chosen Art History and will visit the city’s galleries. Leona Ajoodanpour / UK BA with major in Public Relations Year 3

The location is perfect and the campus is beautiful. It’s a unique mix of students from all over the world. I love London and love being able to travel – I’m able to visit a different country every weekend, and am so grateful to have that opportunity. Because RACL is small it’s easy to get to know people. I’m really going to miss being here and all of the friends I’ve made. Becca Baier Study abroad student

I would recommend RACL to anyone interested in studying in a truly international environment. You’re given the opportunity to achieve goals you’ve never even thought of! I met students from many different countries and cultures, making the College a very interesting place to be, both in and out of the classroom. The lecturers also come from many different backgrounds, meaning we benefited from different points of view. Ricardo Pachon-Chaves / Colombia BA with major in International Relations Graduate

I’m American and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. When the opportunity to study in a different country came, I jumped at it! I feel blessed to be able to attend RACL. It’s in the heart of central London and gives me the opportunity to see all the sites with the comfort of being able to come home to a safe environment in beautiful Regent’s Park. I know that when I graduate in 2013 I’ll have a future full of opportunity. Katherine Wiley / USA BA with double major in Film Studies and Management with an emphasis in Marketing Year 4

RACL provided the ideal environment for personal and academic development – my horizons were broadened daily through interaction with so many different cultures. Classes involved a great deal of interaction between lecturers and students, encouraging us to generate new ideas and discuss things openly. I really learned to be more openminded about opinions differing from my own. Ya-Shu Chen / Taiwan BA with major in Psychology Graduate
