I can tell you from experience that blockbuster movies (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Chronicle of Narnia) are mentioned to me daily by students starting the process of study abroad in specific destinations like England or New Zealand. They always lead into it with "this may seem silly but...". <br /><br />That's not to say the movie was the only reason they wanted to go abroad to a given country or city, but it is commonly stated as at least one factors that has influenced their desire to go to a specific destination. I will also be interested to see the impact of today's wedding on future study abroad students!Melissahttp://www.twitter.com/MelissaColonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056075368630933905.post-81892995855462047732011-04-29T12:56:20.979-05:002011-04-29T12:56:20.979-05:00Sort of a duh type of question but I wanted to ask...Sort of a duh type of question but I wanted to ask! Based off of my quick review (copy and paste from Twitter) the answer is yes but the wedding was today. I'm interested in knowing the long term impact of the wedding on study abroad interest in London/UK.David Comphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788164980038166924noreply@blogger.com
