Student: Sheridan McGadden

Hiya everyone! My name is Sher, and I’m a junior abroad in London with Whitman. I’m majoring in Marketing and a dual with Newhouse, studying Television, Radio, and Film. I’ve been here in London for about a month, and I’ve been enjoying every second so far!

Before the start of the spring semester, I was able to participate in a ten-day Signature Seminar offered through the Syracuse London Center. We went to Sweden, Finland, and Norway, focusing on how these countries are trying to be more sustainable while also seeing the beauty of these countries. How cool is that!

The Whitman Core program was the perfect option for me because I transferred to Whitman my sophomore year. Without the program, I wouldn’t have been able to study abroad at all. I can take my Whitman core classes, with a UK twist, my Newhouse classes, and other fun A&S classes like ‘Borders in Flux,’ a travel course where we spend two weekends in Ireland. All of my classes are immersed in London’s culture and have many off-sites where I’m able to see all sorts of things around town that I probably wouldn’t have on my own. Don’t worry, despite taking 22 credits, there’s been plenty of time to explore the UK and Europe on my long weekends (a perk of having my classes end in the middle of the week)!

When I’m not in class, you can find me running around Regent’s Park, walking around London’s many markets, or grabbing a drink with my friends. I’ve really enjoyed the ease of the tube, which, no offense, beats SU’s trolley, making it easy to visit any part of the city and immensely improving my experience. The London Center also offers a lot of programming activities, like just last week, we got to see Cirque Du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall! I truly can’t wait for all the fun awaiting me for the rest of the semester!
