" Studying abroad was one of the most important aspects that made up my mind about going to Fresno State. As part of the Smittcamp Family Honors College, I can actually AFFORD to go abroad. The only problem became Mock Trial. As part of the team, I can&amp;#039;t give up a full semester of tournaments and competitions to go to another country. So I started looking at my other options. Maybe I couldn&amp;#039;t go to another country for four or five months at a time, but my summers were still relatively free.  For the last few months I had worked on joining a summer study abroad in Barcelona, Spain. It was a program studying my favorite subject (international economy) in my favorite city in the world. I was beyond excited about the idea of spending a few weeks during the summer in Spain\u2014who wouldn&amp;#039;t be?  But, of course, the world isn&amp;#039;t perfect. Economics is a small department at my school, and not enough students signed up to actually put on the program. I was heartbroken beyond all belief. So instead I picked myself up and looked at my other options. Maybe I couldn&amp;#039;t go to Spain this time, but that didn&amp;#039;t mean I couldn&amp;#039;t head somewhere else! As it turns out, the arts and humanities department at Fresno State is offering a London mini-semester this summer. I&amp;#039;m not going to spend two weeks at La Sagrada Familia or in the Old City\u2014instead, I&amp;#039;ll be spending three weeks at the Tower of London and Stonehenge studying imperialism and art in London. And I&amp;#039;m incredibly excited. I&amp;#039;ll be sure to keep you all updated as my plans get nailed down\u2014getting through all of the paperwork is proving to be a huge nightmare\u2014but it&amp;#039;s going to be a great opportunity!
