My Travel Story

by: Pamela Nestor Start Date: Dec 15, 2017 - End Date: Jul 7, 2018
I'm a junior Honors English major attending West Virginia University. This summer I have been presented with the opportunity to travel to London on a faculty led trip. The trip, WVU at Oxford, will last three weeks and students will live in and study at Brasenose College, Oxford University. The total cost of the trip is $6,500 and will include earning 6 credit hours towards my degree.

I have loved reading and writing my entire life and decided to make it a career. I will be the first person in my family to graduate from college, and I honestly never imagined leaving my hometown, let alone going to a large university with the chance to read and study Wordsworth in the very town where he first lived or walking the very streets in Bath that Anne Elliot walks in Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I know this trip will grant me a deeper understanding of literature by allowing me to experience part of these author's lives.
