Amazing experience! So worthwhile! A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Going to the UK, I wasn't expecting there to be a huge difference in culture. I was very wrong! Their lifestyle is very different. It was also great to travel to other countries during breaks and weekends. It's just a really cool experience to meet people the first week and travel to another country with them in week 2! I grew c... A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot from getting to travel all over Europe. It was a great experience but I would have picked a different university to do this through if I were to go again. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Studying abroad was probably the best decision I made my entire college career. blairpark223 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I gained independence more than anything abroad. I definitely think it was worthwhile to get that experience. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Definitely a worthwhile experience, it was difficult in the beginning because there was about three days of orientation and then you are completely on your own, but I would definitely do it again. While it does not sound like the typical study abroad experience, I had a great time at in Brighton, there is so much to between pub... Lina K - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I really enjoyed my time during exchange. Brighton is a beautiful city and plenty to do! I have made friends from all over Europe, which I was not expected! There are at least 40% of international students in the UK at their universities so it is very hard to just "hang" with locals. I have learned the different teach styles and...

being there, yes A student - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
Most definitely. I feel like I grew as a person in more ways than one. Lasting friendships memories and life lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life Jordan G - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
Being at Sussex did not really change my outlook on the world. After the first week it just seemed like I was at my home University only that it was England. Not much was different to me. I thought my study experience had changed my interest in my major but when I think abut it, it clouded my mind rather then enlightened it. I...

I definitely think studying abroad was worth while. I mean even with the hard parts you learn about yourself and what you want from your school and your education, you will grow despite everything. Meghan H - Clark University View Entire Review
Going abroad had made me grow as a person and become more independent. Traveling to a different country without knowing anybody was extremely intimidating. I never thought I could go somewhere for a month by myself to an international university, and now I am going away to Japan in May for another amazing experience! Samantha F - Rutgers University - New Brunswick/Piscataway View Entire Review
I gained a deeper understanding of many cultural backgrounds. Emily M - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I learned not to be afraid to travel alone (especially as a female traveler). This was the perfect time for me to learn about myself, what I like, and that I can offer myself the best company. The opportunities and experienced I from traveling around the UK and to different European countries if imperative in my belief that the ...

I learned more about being independent and street-smart. Caroline M - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I made international friends. I learned how much work goes into making a documentary. I would say in the end, I did enough to make it worthwhile. Caileigh B - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I understand more about myself and have grown up. I know I want to travel more and find a career path in England. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was completely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and I was able to make a lot of friends and have fun in the process. I was able to learn about the different teaching styles that Sussex offers and I explored England and Europe as much as I could. If I had the opportunity again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Patricia B - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned how to communicate better with people whose beliefs and values are different from my own in a positive manner (and I even became friends with some of them!) I also learned more about what I value in other people and what I like to see when I travel and/or live somewhere. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned so much about the british, about slang, and just making really close friends. I gained so much from this experience it is so hard to put into words. traveling around europe as a student is a once in a lifetime experience. It's not to be missed! A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
Yes, looking to go back for grad school. Kawin C - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. Experienced many different cultures. Friendly staff. Respectable professors. Shao M - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
yes, I really loved my experience abroad. I feel like I learned so much and I got what I wanted from this trip. However, I feel like my academic adviser did not prepare me too well. Academic advisers should be more prepared to assist students in choosing which classes to take. Lisa Y - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
Yes. I've met people that I now consider my best friends. I've traveled all over Europe and ventured into Africa. I've pursued academic and personal dreams. Ask yourself when you will ever have an opportunity again in your life to spend the better part of a year away from your work, school, and family. Don't waste that oppo...
