My name is Jenny Maughan and I’m a junior at Penn State. I major in Advertising and minor in Theatre and International Studies. My study abroad program (IES: London, Theatre Studies) begins in exactly one month and I cannot believe it’s finally here.

London is the perfect place to learn about and pursue theatre. Being the home to Shakespeare’s Globe and the West End, London is the Mecca for all that is theatre and drama.

I believe this experience will impact my life vastly. Being immersed in London culture and European cultures I’ll experience through travel will broaden my understanding of how the world works. Although I consider Penn State my home, I am so excited to see what’s beyond Happy Valley.

In 30 days, I will be living in London. I will be living what so many people dream of. I have no doubt that studying abroad will complete my college experience.
