There is nothing quite like experiencing studying abroad for yourself. You hear stories and see photos and try to imagine yourself in that position, but once you get there, nothing is how you imagined. At first, you have to learn how to get information and orientate yourself. Then, you begin to meet people and it hits you how di... janka.d44 - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I met knew people, and discovered a new city A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
To be honest, the quality of education is much higher at Brandeis University. The workload and academic pressure is stronger at Brandeis. Also, you are losing 25% of your opportunity to raise your GPA. If you are a student who wants to academically learn and do well in your school work to pursue higher education, I strongly reco...

I made a lot of new friends. The UK education is very different from US, its a little more strict and requires a lot more writing. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
If you're doing a whole year abroad, it might be helpful to visit the school(s) just as how high school students would visit colleges. London was a great city and a great experience, but I felt the particular institution wasn't necessarily the right fit. And fit is one of the most important factors - and that comes in two compon...

I think the most rewarding thing I have learned is to be independent and self-taught in my courses because people in London and Britain in general are quite independent academically. Xinxin Y - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Learned how to cope with stress and deal with personal issues. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I got a real sense for the feel of living in the UK, which will definitely inform my decision going forward whether to consider working in that country. Raya - Brandeis University View Entire Review
organzing skill. setting goals early. work dilligently semi.sheng - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
Essentially, I got a fairer education outside the classroom than I did inside it. The format of General Course (finals = 100% of final grade) was an extremely difficult pill to swallow -- and one I'm still not satisfied with -- but the overall experience was worth it because now I have friends from three different continents tha...

EXPERIENCE, EXPLORE Tian L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
This program was incredibly worth it. Not only did I get to experience education in a non-American system, I studied at one of the top-ranking schools world-wide and was successfully pushed up to and past the academic limits I had set on myself and now have access to a large alumni network. Allie B - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I felt that I learned to be more independent, and I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. I also think that I learned to appreciate other cultures, and most importantly that there is no one best way of doing things. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I made many friends, some who I didn't know from Bentley and many from all over the world. Learning with and about people from different countries and backgrounds on a whole new level than Bentley was incredible. I would do the program again in a heartbeat A student - Bentley University View Entire Review

I love London. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. xiaozismile - Bentley University View Entire Review
London is a very international metropolitan. At first I was a little disappointed with this feature because I was expecting to meet more British friends. But later I began to take advantage of the unique environment and learned a lot of interesting things from people all over the world. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned to study with more self discipline since there are only final exams at LSE. I also learned to party harder. Balancing those two is a skill that is definitely worth while to have. Shekeyla C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Yes, it was worthwile A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I was challenged academically to the point where I now better understand what interests me and what doesn't. I also learned to live in a large city, which brings many positive and negative learning experiences with it! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I learnt more about British culture. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
