Currency: Great Britain Pound



The pound sterling (pound) is the official currency of Great Britain. In single denominations 100 pence = 1 pound. During my time abroad it was very important to keep track of the exchange rate especially considering the inferiority of the U.S. dollar versus the pound.

During my time in London this is the college where my dorm was located. In addition to the requirements that our Professor Dr. Sgarlata had, we also attended classes three times a week at Regent's College. The classes covered subjects such as; Cultural Diversity, International Business and Team Building exercises.
