Overall Experience
I learned about adaptability and communication. I learned how to appreciate things as how they are and not how I might want them to be. I learned spontaneity and how to appreciate the little things in life like walking past Big Ben and acting calm even though I'm excited inside but not wanting to look like the tourist. - Florida Gulf Coast University View Entire Review
Past Review Life Changing
It's difficult to put into words. I gained a much bigger world view and while there were many things that were different about London than my hometown. It was great to find common ground with people. It was a fantastic experience and so worth it. - University of Louisville View Entire Review
The most worthwhile experience I have ever had. I gained friends, experiences, and knowledge. - University of Houston View Entire Review

Past Review Lifechanging
Confidence and learned how to be a real adult. Absolutely worthwhile. - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
I grew into myself while I was abroad. I learned how to be more social and not to hold back on a lot of things I wanted to do. This trip was completely worth while and provided me with so many adventures and memories. - Kennesaw State University View Entire Review
I gained a greater sense of self-confidence and an awareness of our global society. It was absolutely worthwhile. - Marist College View Entire Review
Past Review Almost Unreal
I learned to never ever give up on something that I want. It was so hard to study in London and I almost gave up a few times, but it was the most amazing time of my life, and even now, two months after it ended, I wish I was still there. I grew into that life so easily that London is now my home and I would never give that up. ] - University of Central Florida View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Knowledge Exchange Institute: London - London South Bank University
I gained and learned more than I could even imagine while I was abroad. However, I think the most important thing that I gained was a better sense of independence. Living in a foreign city completely on my own really forced me to learn about myself, and I have become a more independent person. It was absolutely worthwhile, and... - Marist College View Entire Review
I learned so much about the different countries I traveled too, but I mostly learned more about myself. I learned what I want in life, what I able capable of, and who I am. I wish I could it all over again! - Eastern Kentucky University View Entire Review
I learn how to be more independent and its ok to not always have a plan. - Marist College View Entire Review
I learned that there is so much to explore when I step outside my comfort zone. I live in a small town, and travelling the world never seemed like something I would get to experience. Not only did I get to travel, but I got to make lifelong connections, and learn from other cultures, all while working towards my degree. I am alr... - Central Washington University View Entire Review

Past Review Life Changing
I gained an enormous appreciation for the world, a less ethnocentric view of life, and a ton of memories that I will never ever forget. It impacts me daily, in the most positive of ways. I'd do it again in a heartbeat--entirely worthwhile. - Marist College View Entire Review
KEI's program in London allowed me complete cultural immersion and independence to create my own experience. I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone!!! - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
Past Review Viva La London!
How to dialogue with multicultural groups, and how to live in a different country. It was definitely worth it because the experience matures you as a whole. - Xavier University of Louisiana View Entire Review
I learnt so much about time management. Of course I wanted to explore and have fun, but I also wanted to get firsts on all my exams, so I learnt how to manage my time really well and I can use that skill in the future too. I gained so much confidence while being abroad and I opened up from the shy girl I used to be into someone ... - University of Illinois - Chicago View Entire Review
