My experience was better than I expected. London is full of international people that want to study and have a good time. I learnt how to be more independent and how to plan my weeks so that I make the most out of it. I also learned how to do my laundry haha! Mariah Grima - University of Malta View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I learned about other cultures, met so many people from around the world, and enjoyed every minute. Caroline Gauss - Miami University View Entire Review
Independence Chau Yik Ling - University of Westminster View Entire Review
I gained and learned a lot. I think it was worthwhile. A student - University of Wisconsin - Madison View Entire Review
Independence. I put myself in some very testy situations but it taught me to keep calm. It was like the final transition into adulthood. Robert S - Trinity University View Entire Review
This program was so worthwhile! I definitely recommend 6 weeks! Melissa A - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
How to be independent and comfortable in my own skin. Which empowers me to see my own potential and turn that potential into great things. I learned how to listen more than I speak in order to learn more about new places. I learned how to use public transport which is not something we have in Texas. Bria W - Trinity University View Entire Review
It was most definitely worthwhile. I learned about different cultures and how to adapt to different kinds of people and different areas across the globe. I learned how to use different methods of transport very well also. kristin p - Roger Williams University / RWU View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself as a traveller, student, and friend. I was able to see different cultures and meet tons of new people. I'm able to look at America differently and appreciate what I have at home. It was definitely worthwhile, even for the amount of money I spent! Megan A - Emerson College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile - being in a different country and having the chance to travel was priceless and an experience I'll always remember. My particular bad experience with the program made me realize I need to research more into programs before I choose one, but I don't regret the whole trip (just the p...

YES! The ability to live somewhere out of America and see how people live is so important. Having the ability to travel is also something that I loved more than anything. Maddy - Emerson College View Entire Review
I learned about myself, most importantly that I cannot control everything and that is okay. This was the most worthwhile thing that I could have done in my life so far. A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
I gained more knowledge on the world around me, met new lifelong friends, and learned more about myself and my independence. It was 100% worthwhile. A student - Arcadia University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and being on my own allowed me to truly evaluate what it is I want to do with my life and where I want to go. A student - University of Arizona View Entire Review
I go out with all of Americans and meet new friends everyday. I feel very comfortable in London. My friends were asking for gifts, but I couldn't find anything that is special. Finally, I sent them poster cards because I think what I can buy in England I can find it in China. Jessica F - Arizona State University View Entire Review
It was a very worthwhile experience, I learned a lot about myself and about a new culture - one that I like very much and loved being a part of. Sheila W - University of Wisconsin - Madison View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I wouldn't change one single aspect of my experience. From beginning to end it turned out to be THE best decision I ever made. I learned what it looks like to be a global citizen and how to be independent. I got to see other cultures and traditions up close and broadened my horizons across the boa...
