Overall Experience
I learned a lot about myself as a traveler, I am a lot more independent than I thought. I did many things by myself, going to museums, concerts, shopping, and studying at cafes, it really was like a choose-your-own-adventure game. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile, but it also was not without its challenges. I found it difficult to meet people, especially to meet and stay in touch with local students. That being said, I improved my skills in doing things by myself and was able to explore the city and get to know London on my own. I was really... - Brandeis University View Entire Review

More independence, more confidence, got to know London and a bit of the British lifestyle and culture - Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich View Entire Review
I gain a lot from this experience. First of all it allowed me to get deep into a new culture, meeting new people and exploring the country. I obviously improved my English skill here and my studies bring me a lot of knowledges! I gained in autonomy and learned how to live by myself abroad. - Universite Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne / Pantheon-Sorbonne University Paris 1 View Entire Review
January 13, 2022 Lovely London
I learned how it is to live in a different country with a whole different system. I liked seeing how the university there worked. Also, the uni organised a lot of cool things which made it quite easy to meet new people. Although I was in a different country I never felt alone thanks to that! - Universität Zürich / University of Zurich / UZH View Entire Review

I definitely learned independence because this was my first time having to set up a phone plan or buy my own hotel when traveling. I also felt like being alone was really scary, but I'm proud that I overcame it. I liked learning about the English education system as well and comparing it to what I experience here at America. I f... - University of Southern California View Entire Review

January 13, 2022 Endless Opportunities
Immersing yourself in a different culture is a great opportunity to grow as a person. No, the UK isn't all that different from the US in many respects, but it was awesome to meet new faces, with new worldviews, and experience all that London had to offer. Of course, there were some restrictions with COVID, but by and large I was... - University of Puget Sound View Entire Review
