http://britain.randolphblogs.net Tales from Students at Randolph College's Study Abroad Program at the University of Reading Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:35:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.4 http://britain.randolphblogs.net/2008/09/28/london-the-globe/#comment-23 Julie McCoy Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:48:36 +0000 http://britain.randolphblogs.net/2008/09/28/london-the-globe/#comment-23 Dear Elysia and friends, I just want you to know that there are Reading Program alums who are thoroughly enjoying your blog posts. I was in the second group to go to Reading (1969–1970). It was probably the year that changed my life more than any other single year: so much to experience and learn. I feel so nostalgic when I read your posts; strangely enough, your words could have been written (and some probably were!) by the people in my group nearly 40 years ago. I had feared that today's students might be quite a bit more blasé than we were: when I went to Reading, I had never even ventured out of the Southeast! Everything was amazing to me—but it sounds as if that's true for you, too. Your group has different opportunities (holding a job, for example, and greater integration into the university) but also many of the same ones. Enjoy it all! And thank you for sharing with those who went before you. Dear Elysia and friends, I just want you to know that there are Reading Program alums who are thoroughly enjoying your blog posts.

RMWC class of 1981 students participated in the September 1979 group which gathered at Dulles and flew to England. The questions/concerns you have addressed today are the same questions my twin and I asked in 1979. Some things never change.... I pray that you and your fellow students have a GREAT year.
