I gained new friendships and independence! This program was worthwhile. I learned more from my individual tutorial than a typical class at my home institution. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile and I am so glad I chose to do so. I became a more independent person who trusts themselves even when traveling or doing things alone, and I also branched out socially and met with lots of new people! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a unique perspective on my class topics by studying them in the location that they pertained to. The conversations, trips, and projects that I experienced will stick with me forever. Ardelia D - Brandeis University View Entire Review
This program made me realize how much I can do in 5 weeks! Super worthwhile. Yijia Y - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned that I am significantly more independent than I originally thought. I was also able to see some cultural differences in Education that were really interesting. Laurel D - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Academically, it was a great experience to learn from British faculty and experience a different culture of learning. Also, with such a writing-intensive nature to both my courses, I think that I became a better, faster writer. I made so many amazing friends and felt very connected to the community; I can see myself returning to... A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned to have autonomy, and to navigate a foreign country with my own wits and judgment. I made sure to exit my comfort zone and undertake things I wouldn't have previously believed I could do, and after which I could think back with pride. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned so much about art and living in the moment it was truly the most beautiful experience of my life. Marcela Hernandez - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I feel like I gained a very deep love and understanding of British culture. Many of the people on the program, myself included, are already talking about our plans to revisit Bath and England whether it be for graduate school or beyond, because we had a very special connection to the city and the country. The courses were all gr... Julia Vinyard - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was an amazing way to travel and see countries I’d never seen before. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Simply learning the eccentricities of how another country worked by living as a relatively independent citizen in one of its cities, alone, was a worthwhile experience. The sheer amount of cultural and historical experiences embedded in the program from seeing plays at Shakespeare's birthplace to exploring the ruins of a castle ...

I got to live in one of my favorite countries and really experience British life. I saw the greater part of Southern England and went on trips that were academically-interesting, culturally-enriching, entertaining, and even sometimes athletically-challenging (in a good way). I tried many new things, including traveling alone, ta... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned more about England and English culture that I had always wanted to know. It was worth every second. My only regret was that I had to leave. Sebrina Stickney Morris - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Bath was an incredible experience! The courses offered are connected to the city we were in, making them purposeful and important beyond simply engaging. Being in Bath also exposed me to a different environment. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
The most valuable thing I gained from my time abroad was the friends I made along the way and the memories of experiencing some amazing historical and cultural areas of the United Kingdom. The program did an excellent job of making it easy to get to know people. Additionally, the classes were deeply interesting and engaging, and... Connor B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience with ASE was the most worthwhile experience of my life thus far. I cannot imagine my life if I did not choose, as I gained learning how to achieve a balance of social and academic endeavors and how to be independent. This was my first experience living on my own in a completely new place, and I am honored that I ha... Leah G - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile, I became a much better writer and made good friends. Nora H - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. Although the UK is similar to the US in many aspects, I felt I was able to experience a different side of the world. An example- I would never take public buses in the US, but in Bath, that was my main mode of transportation. Additionally, I was able to study and immerse myself in the local culture,...

I learned how to be independent in a different country. Faith C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Not all learning can be done in a classroom. Your surroundings, the people you see on your daily walks, the landmarks you visit can all teach you so much if you are willing to open your eyes and take it all in. Paige M - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Yes, this was very worthwhile. This was the first time I had travelled alone to a foreign country, and I learned a lot of lessons about how to travel solo. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes it was worthwhile. I learned how to cook for myself as well as navigate a new city, and I improved my public speaking skills for my internship. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Independence and a renewed joy for being an English major. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained close friends with whom I have/will stay in contact and incredible memories of the best experiences.England has to offer. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My writing, in particular, improved a lot with the instruction and feedback I got here. Sarah White - Wellesley College View Entire Review
