During July / August 2012 Helen Taylor attended the King’s College Summer School, here is her story.
Pre-departure preparation
“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.” This amusing piece of advice offered by Susan Heller is unfortunately the reality of overseas travel, particularly for a South African student like me traveling to the UK with a limited budget made even more limited by the current Rand/Pound exchange rate. I literally had to “save every penny” for my UK trip, but my London summer school experience would not have been possible without the generous travel bursary I received from the Postgraduate and International Office.
