Thanks to the internet, living abroad has become much easier than 20 years ago, on the other hand, it is less an adventure. It was definitely worthwhile. I loved being in London, exploring the city and the habits of its people! A student View Entire Review

It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Abigail Taylor - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review

I felt like I was able to really connect with the history of London through all of my museum visits, tours and my Shakespeare: Themes and Presentation class. I especially felt that connection in the Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey, where I stood among the names of the authors that made English literature what it is today and ...

I learned how to roll with the punches and how to survive living alone. Though I spend a lot of time working on class assignments and really put in a lot of effort in that area, I feel like I didn't really learn much. I learned how to budget my money and how to plan successful trips. I learned how to travel alone and to feel saf... Ilana - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I think that I gained confidence while abroad, so it was definitely worthwhile! A student - College of Charleston View Entire Review
I learned how to be confident in myself! Living in a new country on my own and not knowing anyone was a push outside my comfort zone, but I did it and had a blast.

I learned how to adapt to new living situations, how to interact best with people who came from different backgrounds and worldviews, it was definitely worth it! A student - Indiana Wesleyan University View Entire Review
My internship went really well and I gained a lot of practical life experiences such as budgeting/travel/independence/etc. In the long run it was worth it yes, but London is not a place I would ever live. Don't go for Spring semester, it rained and was freezing the ENTIRE time. Hailey - Virginia Commonwealth University / VCU View Entire Review
I matured a lot by living in a different continent and having to take care of food/money/etc. by myself. London is a diverse and exciting city with countless opportunities so I had many unforgettable experiences. The friendships and memories I made are irreplacable!

How to live in a foreign Country on my own. Dominic Potuzak - University of Westminster View Entire Review
I learned how to be a apart of a culture that is different than my own. I learned life skills and lessons that I could only learn by living in London. I think it was so much more than worthwhile. I am so happy that I chose to do this. amanda - Pace University View Entire Review
