Life changing and priceless Past Review
By jennifer h (communications, Plymouth State University) for
University of Winchester: Winchester - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I would go back and relive those four months over and over again if possible. I loved every minute of it, never once felt home sick. I had the world at my finger tips; I saw Rome, Edinburgh, countless castles, and the country side of England. While over there I was laughing nonstop, having the time of my life.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | The University of Winchester, was about the same size as my home uni so I could adjust easily. For any student wanting to study abroad, travel to a place you know in your heart you will feel comfortable. I had always wanted to visit England so I had no doubt in my mind that I'd feel weird being there. |
