The intricacies of UK social and business culture. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I became more independent A student - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned a lot from my courses and internship but the most valuable things I took away from my experience was from traveling and learning how to navigate in unfamiliar cities. I came home with a sense of independence and greater appreciation for other cultures. A student - Providence College View Entire Review
I learned how to be self-reliant while traveling around a foreign country. I learned about other cultures I hadn't experienced before. It was definitely worthwhile! Jennifer B - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the difference in culture even though there was no significant language barrier. It was really eye opening to immerse myself into the culture through my internship and studies. A student - Providence College View Entire Review
It was absolutely worth while. I learned that I want to work in the UK if ever I'm given the opportunity. I also learned a lot within the department of finance through my internship. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I feel like I have seen the world from a whole new pair of eyes. Very inspiring and educating. A student - The Catholic University of America View Entire Review
I definitely gained more independence. The combination of a fairly hands-off program with the long commute to work and a constant eye on the budget made for a very grown-up experience. I kind of feel like I've graduated already now that I'm so used to city livin' A student - Providence College View Entire Review
Extremely. Although I had many complaints about the program that I chose (not the internship aspect, but Arcadia), I got out of the trip exactly what I wanted to. Sometimes you have to move passed the inconveniences and make the trip what you want it to be. Lillie F - Austin College View Entire Review
Being obsessed with advertising, working in marketing in a different country was astounding. The insight I was able to gain into my passion was unbelievable and I believe that I am a different person for it. Collin K - Providence College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile, if only because I had to deal with awful staff. But the four days a week I didn't have to deal with Arcadia were always fantastic. Kat M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I would have picked a different program, but at the same time, I am very glad that I studied abroad. Even if I didn't gain as much as I wanted out of Arcadia, I learned a lot about myself, and that made the experience worthwhile. Miranda C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I sought work experience, and I got it. As a bonus, I enjoyed what I did and the people I worked with. Participating in this program made me consider working and/or going to graduate school in the UK. I had never considered the idea of grad school in a foreign country before. Sarah T - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
How to adapt and love in a foreign country! Definitely worthwhile, I was able to have a blast all over Europe with American students from all over. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
A sense of independence. A student - Providence College View Entire Review
It was the most worthwhile experience of my life thus far. I gained an international working experience along with confidence to understand and take on life's greatest challenges. I have a global perspective on life after traveling throughout Europe and experiencing the many different cultures. A student - Providence College View Entire Review
I gained more independence during my time abroad. Going abroad was definitely worthwhile. However, I was not particularly satisfied by the program. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I gained confidence in myself. If I can find my way through the busy streets of London, I can do anything! A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Good friends (even if mostly American), great experiences in a great city, and a fantastic job reference. It was absolutely a worthwhile experience. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about a culture I had no knowledge on. I learned independence and confidence. I am more comfortable with doing things by myself now. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Regardless of how I felt about my study abroad program, the experience was without a doubt worthwhile. These have been the best and most exciting four months of my life. Taking a step outside of the United States really makes you put everything into perspective and you realize how much is really out there to see and explore. ...

Internship was worthwhile. Living in a different country awesome. School, was fine. Tyler B - Austin College View Entire Review
Devin K - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I loved my study abroad experience. Made friends and felt like I was an independent adult in a city for the first time. Jamie G - Tufts University View Entire Review
