Nanette (Azusa Pacific University) spent a semester abroad in Ecuador in 2021 and took an Experiential tour to Amsterdam in 2022.

After considering what she might have to “give up” to leave the APU campus for a semester, she ended up having the time of her life. From scuba diving in the Galapagos to growing through the challenges of navigating a new culture, Nanette came home changed.

Then, her internship experience in Ecuador encouraged her to take another service opportunity by traveling to Amsterdam with L&LI Experiential Tours!

Students will have access to the massive course catalog at the historic campus of University of Roehampton in Southwest London.

Like our other programs, students will live with intentional community in L&LI housing. They will study in and explore the beautiful city of London and have amazing opportunities to immerse themselves into the diverse culture of the city.

Living & Learning International, in collaboration with Baltimore Urban Studies (BUS), is proud to introduce Living & Learning East Coast, a programmatic expansion for our students to engage Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington, D.C. through internships and experiential learning. Since December 2020, the BUS has welcomed students from over 10 universities, representing a wide array of academic majors. This success fuels our ongoing commitment to providing transformative educational experiences that bridge classroom theory with real-world application.

Students participating in Living & Learning East Coast will be based at our Baltimore Urban Study (BUS) Center, perfectly situated to facilitate engagement with these four historic and dynamic East Coast cities. This expansion underscores our dedication to preparing students for leadership and success in their respective fields through immersive, hands-on experiences.

This growth is made possible by our strong local partnerships and the invaluable addition of Peter Baker, PhD, former director of the CCCU’s American Studies Program (Washington, D.C.), to our team. Dr. Baker’s expertise will enable us to introduce new curriculum tracks that serve students majoring in Business, Communication, History, Political Science, Pre-Law, and Public Policy, as well as cultivate new internship partners in our expanded locations. We are excited about what the future holds for Living & Learning East Coast’s unique and innovative approach to experiential learning, the continued support of our school-of-record, Messiah University, and our sharpened focus on helping students build a bridge from campus to career.
