I learned so much about my particular areas of study (economics and history) and got to learn from so many different perspectives on my subject, especially given how renowned LSE's faculty is and how international the study body is. If you're looking for a transformative academic experience that will challenge your perspective, ... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Academic experience outside of Brandeis, yes. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained independence, confidence, and maturity. These are all invaluable qualities that you really can't maximize without leaving your comfort zone like this in my opinion. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Got to live in one of the world's most famous cities and travel a ton Joya B - Wellesley College View Entire Review

My experience abroad was truly invaluable and worthwhile. It provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live independently and mature as an individual.

Gained independence and a global perspective Jacob S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to truly manage my own responsibilities and I traveled solo for the first time. Completely worth it. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile as I gained foreign experience in a country that I did not spend a huge amount of time in before. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Independence and accountability A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to make myself stand out when there are 300 people in a lecture hall, which is completely different than Wellesley. I took classes with students who are incredible in their subject, coming into LSE as first-years already so knowledgeable and only growing as they continue their studies. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely a worthwhile experience. Studying abroad helped me become more independent, confident, and adaptable. I had the opportunity to experience a different academic environment, meet people from diverse backgrounds, and explore new cultures. It also pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow both persona... Lika B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about geopolitics and geoeconomics. I also learned how truly different British culture was from American culture. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Something specific was that I got into the fashion industry while abroad which was completely different from my major of Economics. I became a photographer for multiple fashion shows during London Fashion Week, and did some modeling. This was my favorite experience from studying abroad.

I learned a great deal about London culture, as well as broader European culture. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I feel like a completely new person. I am more resilient, outgoing, and conscientious. I also learned so much from my program, inspiring me to thesis. Claire O - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I want to continue traveling and living abroad, if possible. The experience was extremely worthwhile. Karla R - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Surviving and thriving in a big city. Took challenging and unique courses not offered in many American universities. Learned how to take care of myself in the “real world.” A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
The experience was definitely worthwhile. There's nothing I wish I'd known before going that isn't just learning-while-doing, so I just suggest any prospective General Course students just go in ready to have a new experience, and be surprised by all the things they don't know. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I can say it was the best year of my life, making amazing friends, living in central London a city I fell in love with and studying in a prestigious university. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I did not attend in person at all or travel to the country, but the online support was there from LSE. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the branches of study I was interested in, which were the reasons I applied to the program in the first place. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
