The confidence to live in a city, a global perspective through my interactions with and studies in European politics and a newfound respect for diversity in experience. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to be much more independent and confident in the decisions I make. I learned better organizational skills as the courses entailed studying for a year’s worth of material with over 70% of the grsde being decided by one final exam. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
School and culture wise learned a lot from traveling -- one of the best years A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Take classes with very experienced professors. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Being International. Yuanhao Zhao - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned so much especially academic course related and life in general Chika Egbuzie - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I think that I gained a lot of confidence from my year abroad that I desperately needed. Living alone for the first time in a huge, kind of unforgiving city made me approach problems in a more confident and methodical way. Hannah Preble - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Different approach of education. It definitely worths all compliments. Tian Zhong - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, my subject, the world both in and out of the classroom in a year I will never forget. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
- Different schooling system, more independence, less rigorous but gets hard at the end - Great vibe, friendly General course body - Lovely city, can do so much: eat, drink, go out, party, walk around, go to museums, theatres... Aida El Kohen - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I realized how academically intensive Wellesley is and I was appreciative for its strong academic support programs. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Access to world class economists A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to operate effectively within the British higher education system. I expect this will be worthwhile because I hope to attend graduate school there. Isabelle Moore - Trinity College View Entire Review
I've gained a lot of perspective on the diversity that exists in the world in all aspects of life, and gave me a different educational experience that I had at my home institution. It helped me learn in new ways, and also allowed me to appreciate my institution at home more. But more than the academic experience, I gained the op...

I learned how to be independent and how to live in a big city. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I expanded my knowledge in my field of studies while being able to travel. It was great being able to explore Europe with LSE's low contact hours. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Experiencing and learning different cultures Zikun W - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I loved living in London. I loved exploring the city and meeting people from all around the world. Fiona Lau - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself in terms of handling money when it's tight and socializing with new people. And I really treasure learning the different style of "learning" in the UK - it was a transition but I found that it really worked for me, being SO personally responsible for my own study the way you're forced to be. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about how to live in a city (from a rural/suburban area). I gained some really close friends, although they are mostly American. I was able to travel a bit which I had not been able to do before studying abroad. I also learned how to take my education into my own hands. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to navigate one of the largest cities in the world! TFL is very comprehensive but still, i'm proud. This year taught me a lot about independence and adulthood and i'm grateful for that. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how UK universities work in comparison to US ones (students are much more independent). I also learned a lot about european healthcare systems through my internship. Isabelle Moore - Trinity College View Entire Review
Personal agency, a better work ethic, knowledge from world-class professors, experience with people from all over the world, a crush on Britain's public transportation, and the ability to play cricket. Worth it. Matthew K - Brandeis University View Entire Review
