Overall Experience
I learned a lot about drafting and formatting and improved my writing style. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
In terms of what I learned, I think that my study abroad experience definitely helped me to become more independent and challenged me academically as well. I learned new methods of learning and developed important skills, so I would say that my experience was worthwhile. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Learned about English culture, traditions, how to write long papers effectively - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I gained a lot of academic research experience, friends, and generally speaking, incredible memories. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
February 04, 2022 Not Perfect But Worth It
A lot of independence. I think that it was worthwhile - Wellesley College View Entire Review
January 10, 2022 A Great Time
I traveled around the country, experienced a new university and city, and took interesting classes for my major - Wellesley College View Entire Review
January 04, 2022 Intense But Worth It
I learned how to navigate a foreign country alone, which is very worthwhile - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I grew so much as a writer and thinker and grew more over the course of a single term at Cambridge than I had in 2 full years at my home institution. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to deal with a sex offender abroad. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
While abroad I feel like I really got to know myself (cliche, I am aware), and I think that Cambridge's academic system is so individual that it really required me to leave my comfort zone and really get comfortable with the material and my thoughts on it. Because I joined a sports team, I got to see parts of the country I would... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review Semester Abroad
The program was worthwhile. I learned a lot, but I had to do so independently. I am grateful for the experience as the educational system operates differently from Wellesley's. It was an awesome opportunity to also travel through Europe. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about English Renaissance art and about British culture - Wellesley College View Entire Review

It's definitely the history of England and Cambridge. I love historical architecture, so the campus was a treasure for me to explore! - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to write a dissertation, how to work with academics one-on-one, and how to live more independently. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I prefer interaction between humans more than learning knowledge by myself. Also, I've realized the importance of self-learning on a topic that really interests me. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was very interesting to learn the different academic system in the UK. I made some close friends both in the program and in the university. I also came to know many things about myself which I had not noticed before. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
February 04, 2022 Great Experience
It is interesting to live in UK for 3 months. I might not have such an opportunity in the future. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It made me very seriously interested in graduate school - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a perspective into independent study and graduate school for my major. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
January 03, 2022 Worthwhile
Learned and grew the most not from my studies, but from the people I got to know, including both the other international students and the regular Cambridge students. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself socially and academically. I grew so much and 100% believe that it was a worthwhile experience. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Experienced different educational system. Overall pretty chill and had free time to explore the surrounding areas. It was worthwhile - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This program is incredibly rigorous, and as a result I grew as an academic scholar. The supervision system and close one-on-one interactions I experienced with my supervisors strengthened my writing and research skills, which will prove useful for my senior thesis. Although this program does not provide quite as much freedom to ... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
