Harlaxton Univeristy

  As my departure Date of August 26th is quickly approaching I find myself trying to squeeze in as much as I can in the next few days. I do not believe it has truly hit me that all if this is just around the corner.
   
I will be studying at Harlaxton which is located in the town of Grantham just about an hour north of London. Harlaxton Manor was built in the 1830s for Gregory Gregory, a wealthy Nottinghamshire businessman, to replace the original Elizabethan Manor House in Harlaxton Village. A straight mile long drive across a bridge, under a gatehouse, past 'the pyrotechnic display of the forecourt gates whether by day or night when the building is floodlit, is in itself a memorable, experience.




     While there I will be studying communications and marketing as well as taking a British Studies class in which I will learn of Britian's history and culture. On various weekends I will be traveling London, Paris,Germanry, Greece, and Italy to name a few. My trip will come to an end on Decemeber 18th.
