Overall Experience
I gained the incite on what it would be like working abroad. I also learned about the importance of culture integration in the work place. I also gained a unique sense of independence. The program was absolutely worthwhile! - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned of many different types of customs and cultures while living in London. It was amazing living in such a cultural hub where you could walk down the street and hear 3 different languages. - Providence College View Entire Review
This program helped me to narrow down my career path and it allowed me to fully immerse myself in British culture. I had an absolute blast and I don't regret one second of my time abroad. I wish I could do it all over again! - Providence College View Entire Review

I gained insight into life in a foreign country. Not only did I learn about the city I lived in but I learned about all the countries I traveled to. I also learned a lot about myself and how I want to live my life out of school. The experience was absolutely worthwhile and I would go back in a heartbeat! - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned so much about London/ the UK in terms of culture, politics etc. I loved having the opportunity to live independently in a new city, navigate the tube and explore the various neighborhoods, market places museums and historical sites. I also learned a lot about myself. I now trust my ability to make travel plans/itinerar... - Brandeis University View Entire Review

I gained great work experience and knowledge about England and London specifically. I learned how to get along in a foreign country. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was definitely worth while. I felt more comfortable living with American students but also got to interact with locals through my internship. I also enjoyed my classes, and learned things about the British culture through them as well. - Fordham University View Entire Review
Living abroad in London was an amazing experience and I wish I could do it all over again. London is such a diverse and exciting city. I learned a lot about myself and my interests. - Fordham University View Entire Review
Most of what I learned was due to my internship at a small social media public relations company. My coworkers were fantastic and really made me feel like a part of the family. They took very good care of me, and going to work was one of the best experiences of my life. - Trinity University View Entire Review

Past Review Life Changing
It was definitely worthwhile. I just was able to learn about other cultures--their values, beliefs, and ideals. I also worked at a hospital while I was in London, so I was able to compare the similarities and differences between the health care systems. It was truly a "learn by experience." - Providence College View Entire Review

Overall my experience was worthwhile. I was exposed to a number of different cultures, and was also forced to be much more independent as an individual. - Providence College View Entire Review

Past Review Take Me Back!
I grew as a person and student, I learned so much more than could ever be taught in a classroom. Studying abroad forces you to challenge yourself in ways you didn't know were possible. It's a transformational experience, you come back a different person. - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about working in foreign countries through our internship. - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned a lot more about how to be independent and I learned to be flexible and enjoy my new environment rather than stressing about the changes it brought into my life. - Providence College View Entire Review
A whole new perspective on the world. It was incredible to experience first-hand cultural differences and the unique characteristics that make up each country. The sense of globalism was present in every direction and it was wonderful to live in such a multicultural city. The opportunity to travel was unforgettable and it was a ... - Fordham University View Entire Review

Past Review Educational
My time abroad was worth while. I gained a new understanding of different cultures. I also gained an appreciation for my own home and country. - Fordham University View Entire Review
I really enjoyed the experience - we must have been to every museum in London and we also managed to get to other places in England and to France and Italy The most valuable thing I got from my program was probably the internship experience at a law firm, which is hard for undergrad students to get in the US. - Trinity University View Entire Review
Past Review Take Me Back!!!!
I am so glad I chose to study abroad. I learned so much about myself and the world around me. This experience was easily the highlight of my college career and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was an incredibly worthwhile experience and I'd recommend it to every student. - Providence College View Entire Review
