Study Away Highlight: Felicia Quijano-Beck

Study Away Location: Kingston University, London, United Kingdom

Major: English Literature and History

Felicia Quijano-Beck is an English Literature and History major who will be studying away at Kingston University, London, United Kingdom for the 2021-2022 Academic Year! She is looking forward to visiting historic British sites that she has studied and learning from professors who have a different perspective than what she is used to. Huge congratulations to Felicia!!!

Why did you choose to study away?

“I chose to study abroad in London for many reasons, one being its rich literary history. I love classic literature, and I think it’s amazing that I could actually study in the city where people like William Shakespeare, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde lived and wrote!”
