The biggest things I learned were to be more independent (taking care of money, food, etc.) and to adapt to the new system of education. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Studying abroad was the best college experience I had and I wish every student is able to go. Especially if you can go for an academic year, it is so worth it to fully immerse yourself because one semester will go by so quickly! I travelled to 20 countries in Europe and made some lifelong friends. I took some great classes and e... Amy W - Brandeis University View Entire Review

Friends. Confidence. Yes Qinyi C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile. I absolutely loved living in such a culturally diverse city and have made great friends from around the world. I was definitely pushed out of my comfort zone (in a good way) and learned a lot about myself and about Europe as a whole. It was a truly amazing experience.

That I am much more capable than I ever thought. That great friends make a great experience. That I love traveling and I love London. I would do it again and again if I could. taylor.kainer - Southern Methodist University View Entire Review
personal growth experience. Really got a chance to experience a big busy city and found that it was exactly what I needed. Easy to travel to other places in Europe. definitely worth while, but personally would have been better suited with a different academic programme. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review

I learned how to live on my own and in a big city from my experience abroad. I also realized there is such a big world out there for me to conquer and explore. There are so many different cultures and people to meet. London is a multicultural city with a amazing identity and people. Not to mention my classes as well. I was abl...

It was very worthwhile, because I got a chance to see what life was like outside of the United Sates, which was an invaluable experience A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience was extremely worthwhile. Mostly I learned how to be completely independent while at the same time interact and travel well with others. I also learned that there are different ways to study and learn. I had to completely adjust my study habits when it came to taking London classes especially at such an esteemed ... A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the ability to go on adventures by myself because I was in control of what I wanted to gain from my experience abroad. It was worthwhile because by the end I had a better understanding of London from living in the city and explored it instead of attempting to jetting off to a new place every weekend. I also...

I met a lot of new people, saw a lot of new places, and gained more independence. It was very worthwhile. Jeremy K - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about British and European Archaeology, and how it differs procedurally and theoretically from American archaeology. I also learned a lot about British culture that I would not have learned in the US. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Aside from obviously taking interesting classes, I learned a lot about the daily life in London and a bunch of other European countries I traveled to. Even though I live off campus at school, this was another great way to learn to really live on your own, in a brand new place with your own freedom. There are some really great pu...
