Yes, I learned how to motivate myself academically. I learned a lot about Britain and also about the world from a British perspective. I feel that I am much more receptive to different opinions and appreciate them more. Elizabeth H - Harvard University View Entire Review
It was great but so were my other alternatives Yifan W - Harvard University View Entire Review
Definitely, but I think it was more worthwhile on a personal rather than intellectual or academic level. Serena B - Harvard University View Entire Review
I got to learn quite a bit about different cultural experiences within the UK. It was really fun. Brendan Q - Harvard University View Entire Review
Yes it was worthwhile! In some way, I feel like before the trip I was missing something about the world, and now I have a better handle on it. I truly am a changed person, and will draw from my experiences, friends, and classroom work from Cambridge for the rest of my life. Erin F - Harvard University View Entire Review
Absolutely! Socially and academically, this was the single most empowering experience of my life. Arthur B - Harvard University View Entire Review
I want to study abroad even more. Christina H - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile. Julie D - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes. Sarah H - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
It was worthwhile from an academic standpoint, I learned a lot about European economics and improved my independent study skills. The social aspects weren't as colorful as I expected. Siwen C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Absolutely! David M - Harvard University View Entire Review
My Supervison with Robin Kirkpatrick made me a Dante man -- important for my medieval academic interests. I am also more serious about going to grad school in the UK. Adam H - Harvard University View Entire Review

Yes, it was a different academic environment with different teaching styles and different students. It was also a lot of fun. Graham S - Harvard University View Entire Review

The program was not as immersed in the British culture, which was somewhat upsetting given my intentions for studying abroad. Naveen M - Harvard University View Entire Review
Absolutely. Definitely want to apply to grad school at Cambridge. Greg J - Harvard University View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation for the subtleties of British culture, but the real benefit for me was the opportunity I had to explore a subject area unavailable to me at my home college. I'm actually looking to go back to Cambridge University for a graduate program in the field that I studied while in the program. Rebecca R - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Absolutely. I think I learned more about myself, just being at a University so different from Wellesley. I am so grateful for this privilege. I am interested in going back at some point to get an MPhil in English. Abigail M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned a significant amount from my courses and was able to develop and enhance my essay writing skills. Even more importantly, from this program I've realized what area within economics I'm most interested in pursuing. Lily Z - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes! I did not realize how much I would enjoy myself here. Academically, I am a better and more confident writer, analyzer, and speaker. Socially, the need to interact with unfamiliar people has enabled me to become more engaging in conversation and more aware of the many different types of people in the world. Above all, I ...
