As anything in life does, the London Program had its ups and downs. Fortunately, there were more ups than downs. The city of London was both comfortable and enjoyable, and the country's rich history really showed through in both its architecture and its museums. Interactions with others in the program gave me a greater understan... Alexandra B - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I strongly believe my study abroad experience was worth while. Not only was I able to immerse myself in British culture, but I also gained new insight into my own culture. Dawn E - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review

My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I became more independent and confident in myself and my abilities. I was able to indulge my passion for theater while reading great works of literature written by people who once lived in the area in which I was staying. I gained a sense of the bigger picture and grew to app... Maeve M - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
My study abroad experince was for sure worthwhile in many ways. The chance to live independently in another country was definently a learning experience that many people do not get. Learning about another part of the world was an experience that will stay with me for a long time.Exploring London and meeting some new people also ... Kelsey A - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I would definitely chose a program that is run through a University that is non-American. Not that this one was not life-changing and great, but it didn't allow for a complete submersion into the life of the British culture like I was hoping for. the laid-back classes did allow for more free time, but I guess I feel as though co...

I found it worthwhile. I learned all about other cultures and countries and I gained a better understanding of the world. Leigh C - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I think I really learned some insight not only into the international system we are in, but also a personal insight. I think I have grown and am more mature than before. Aaron A - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
This program was definitely worthwhile. I know I grew as a person, and I think I learned a lot about London, the United Kingdom and Europe in general through this program. Whatever difficulties I dealt with paled in comparison to whatever I learned and the wonderful people I had the good fortune to experience this with. I'd do i...

Yes, it most certainly was. I think I gained a lot of growth as an individual that can be applied in the real world, and in my future learning as College student. Going abroad was the best thing that could have ever happened to me and I am forever indebted to those that made it possible. The faculty was sublime and the students ...

Definitely worthwhile! I learned so much about myself and was able to see and experience so many things that wouldn't have been possible without this programs. The memories and friends i made will last a lifetime Kelly P - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I learned that I enjoy living in a city and I can make good friends with the people who live in a neighborhood, I thought I would just be on my own, but i ended up becoming very good friends with the people who work at the board game store down the street. Alex E - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Yes this experience was very worthwhile. I learned so much about myself. I was taught by great professors and learned about so many cultural things that I wouldn't have learned without this program. I can finally say "Yes! I've been there" when I see a picture of Big Ben or Greenwich Park. I loved living in a city that only ... Alyssa A - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile and I recommend that any who has the opportunity to study abroad to do it. I have gained a new sense of what it means to be independent. I also had the opportunity to step outside of the sheltered life I live here in America and was able to experience many different cultures. I think th...

The study abroad experience was incredible. I feel that I have seen so many different cultures now. I feel like I was able to gain insight to myself. Laura R - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I was worthwhile. The trip altered my academic interests a bit- I may decide to live in London for a while in the furture. Also, due to the faculty and the books that I had to read for my classes, I am considering a career in writing. I dont know what it is, but there is something about London that makes me want to write! Oulimata B - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
It was incredible I just wish we had more time. The program should go to the middle of may at least. Its such an awkward time to go home, and London is finally getting nice right at the end of april, right when we are leaving. Maura K - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
About
Binghamton University's Semester in London has been a part of the spring curriculum of the English Department of Binghamton University for over 30 years. It is open to all students, regardless of major, and is designed particularly for those with a strong interest in literature and theatre. Two English Department faculty members will present the core of the educational program in London: four courses especially designed to take advantage of the London setting and the accessibility of the English countryside. There will also be two additional courses offered by adjunct professors.
The London Program courses are designed for the program and are taught by a combination of Binghamton faculty and program faculty based in London. Each course carries four units of credit unless otherwise noted. Course approval for non-SUNY students must be granted by the student's home institution. We recommend that Binghamton students speak to an academic advisor in their school about any study abroad plans.
