Introduction


Greetings!  This is a blog for those students taking U.S. and England Before 1865 course (HIST 2111) in London Summer 2010 (June 17 through July 23 2010) through the University System of Georgia's European Council . This blog will serve as an introduction to the course. Over the next few weeks, I will post images, links, and other information about the course.

First, some basic information...

The course runs five-weeks and is a three-credit course. For Georgia students, the course can be used as either a HIST course or as a STAB (Study Abroad) course, which can be substituted for COMM 1100: Human Communications. Students stay at the University College of London (UCL, pictured above) in the heart of London. The cost of the trip is $5,350, and includes round-trip airfare from Atlanta to London, transportation from the airport to UCL campus, lodging at UCL, a pre-paid Tesco grocery store card (£25 a week), a four-day Britrail pass, an excursion to Hampton Court the first weekend of the program, a health insurance policy providing coverage for medical expenses, and an Oyster card pass for unlimited travel on the London Underground and bus systems.
