My experience was extremely worthwhile. I had experiences and did things that gave me a new outlook on the world and helped me develop more confidence and awareness of myself. Maura G - Ithaca College View Entire Review
The study abroad experience is truly unique for everyone. You just have to go into with your eyes closed and do it. Some days are better than others but you will not regret a second of it when its all over. Mark F - Ithaca College View Entire Review
It was great! Rob E - Ithaca College View Entire Review
yes, i would do it all over again. I think I became a more independent person and I think i matured as well. Katie J - Ithaca College View Entire Review
The reason I said I would not choose this program again is because once is enough. This is not meant as a negative assessment, and it's not that I would mind doing the same program all over again, but I gained so much from the program the first time around, I want to move back and try life a little different in London. I think... Stacy S - Ithaca College View Entire Review

Yes, yes, yes. You have to know how to pack light and pack well when taking a long trip to England or a short trip around Europe. I think that was one of the things that will serve me well throughout my life. Know the difference between what you NEED to bring and what you WANT to bring. You need less then you think you do.

It was more than worthwhile. It was great to see the political/social climate of another country. In particular for theatre students on this program: there is more accessible and affordable theatre of high quality than you could ever imagine - it's an amazing opportunity that is almost too good to be true.

Definitely. I may end up living in Britain. Charles L - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Yes, it was amazing. It let me get a more expanded view of things. Its hard to comprehend going to another country for the weekend, because we don't really have that here. However, over there, it's not a problem to travel for the weekend. I got to experience different cultures and how people from other countries live their l...

I wish I could study abroad all the time. I love exploring different cultures and new places. You gain the most from experience. Shaina U - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I saw so many things that I never would have seen otherwise: art, sculpture, culture. I missed home and family and friends a lot, but it was definitely a great experience. Courtney W - Ithaca College View Entire Review
YES. I had a great time and learned a lot about the culture of London and other countries I visited. It also made me grow up...I was the only sophomore and the only business student to go when I went, but I used it as an opportunity to make new friends and make the most of the experience. Kristen M - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Everything about it was amazing. London is a great city to study. I gained a great understanding of student life, tourist life, leisure life, etc while I was there. Learning aspects of new cultures is fun and entertaining!! Amanda H - Ithaca College View Entire Review
it was totally worth while, but i wanted to meet more english people. i didn't meet any foreigners really other than my professors (one of which was American). Kelsey B - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Yes, absolutely. Everything that happened, even the bad things, all added to the experience because they helped me grow as a person, and that's what study abroad is all about. I saw amazing things, met wonderful people, and became more self-confident. Rebekah W - Ithaca College View Entire Review
Absolutely. I know much more about myself and how to live on a budget. I appreciate city life much more than I had before, and I am more confident in my abilities to be independent. Alicia R - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I miss it so much, and learned so much. It's really hard to put it into words though. I met amazing people I will be friends with for life, and had a wonderful time. I'm also already scheming to get back there! Kayla M - Ithaca College View Entire Review
About
In 1972 the first group of adventurous Ithaca College students journeyed to England. Today the Ithaca College London Center - among the longest-standing study abroad programs in London - welcomes students from colleges and universities throughout the United States and around the world. The London Center staff and faculty have years of experience helping students negotiate the ins and outs of life in Great Britain.
Ithaca's base in London is an elegant restored Victorian house in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The London Center houses classrooms, a small library, and a comfortable common lounge, as well as 2 computer labs with internet access and wireless internet access for laptop users. Our site is an ideal jumping-off point for exploring London, just a 3 minute walk to the nearest tube station. The Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and the famous department store Harrods are all within walking distance.
Whether your interest lies in medieval music or the European Union, Hamlet or BBC News 24, Oscar Wilde or Zadie Smith, London offers a wealth of opportunities. Classroom learning comes alive as you experience British life and culture firsthand. You will explore abbeys and cathedrals, visit the neighborhoods where John Keats and Virginia Woolf once lived, sample British economics while doing an internship at the London office of a mulitnational corporation. Or you may read Charles Dickens and prowl the back alleys where the "artful dodger" and Oliver Twist once roamed.
As a student at the London Center, you can combine an American course of undergraduate study with an array of exciting international experiences. Course offerings range from business and communications to the fine arts, humanities and social sciences. Internship placements are available to students seeking international work experience and a more comprehensive immersion into British culture. No matter what your personal and academic interests, the Ithaca College London Center delivers stimulating and rewarding opportunities.
