I met a lot of different people and I learned a whole different academic system. Set in a unique environment, London provides a lot of opportunity to engage and learn from academics, societies, and cultural events. One of the KEY experiences at the LSE (different from small liberal arts college) is the significant amount of use... awells - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Europe and its cultural diversity. I also learned how to live and travel in a new country that was very different from the US. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Time management, increase in networking with professionals Sang Joon L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to take care of myself in a way I had never done before - managing my finances, cooking, ensuring that I studied sufficiently without the structure that Trinity provides. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I cannot begin to describe all that I gained from my time abroad. I learned how to be truly independent, to navigate strange places with little but a few words and a map, to experience new people and cultures, and really there is too much for a little blurb. I cannot every truly explain how incredible it was, but in short I thin... A student - Cornell University View Entire Review
a widen scope and broaden horizons. deeper understanding about the real business world. Yuxi C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a lot more personally and culturally than academically. I learned more from debating and listening to my European friends and their perspective on politics and free markets than from the often scripted and uncaring professors in lectures. By living in an urban city, I also became a lot more independent--it's completely ... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

London changed my life. With every fiber of my being I want to go back there and I am looking at anything that can take me back. Agnieszka N - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I feel that I gained a lot from having the new experience of living in London for a year (as opposed to a semester), which allowed me to interact with the people and the culture over a longer time period, and attending a UK institution, which is substantially different from those in the U.S. I also am happy about the intellectua...

I made amazing friends and had experiences I would never have living in a small college in Wellesley, MA. I was also able to attend career events that would not be available at Wellesley and interacted with potential employers. I was always happy and motivated because London is an amazing city with amazing people. gupta.nayni - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Adapting to a different university curriculum was very challenging and helped me grow as a writer and academic. I became more confidence in my independence and self. I reached out to organizations I wanted to be a part of based on my interests rather than career goals. I was on the LSE football team and strongly recommend joinin...

I improved my self-reliance skills and was forced out of my comfort zone continuously. Selman K - Trinity University View Entire Review
The experience was amazing. The academics were ideal and I learned more in one year at the LSE than had the past two years at my home university. If you love math and economics it's a great place to be because the two are integrated so seamlessly. I was also able to plan my schedule in a way that made it possible for me to tr...

Totally! I got to have a year worth of British/European experience and got the chance to know the other part of the world from a close distance. I also learnt so much more about myself, made great friends, and make great connections worldwide. Anran X - Trinity University View Entire Review
being to travel easily around Europe was amazing. Also being able to visit historical tourist attractions that I had heard of/ learned about was very interesting Victoria L - Wellesley College View Entire Review
