Hallmark analyzes the experiences students from Brigham Young University have while on Study Abroad in London. She focuses on the unique cultural experiences provided by the portion of the Study Abroad known as the live-in, in which students are separated from each other and sent for week-long stays with British families. Hallmark sees the live-in experience as providing the cultural immersion that is lacking in a study abroad program that houses its students in dorms rather than with families. She suggests that the experience of live-ins allows students to appreciate the everyday aspects of the culture that they would miss otherwise. She also suggests that the live-in experience reveals the exoteric and esoteric identities that both cultures believe about themselves and each other. Hallmark feels that an increased understanding of esoteric and exoteric world views allows the study abroad students to appreciate and understand other cultures while better identifying, understanding, and appreciating the features of their own culture.
