I learned that I can live independently in a foreign country, and that I am more capable than I thought. I also fell in love with the city of London and it was the time of my life! A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Nearly every study abroad student I know has the time of their life while study abroad no matter where they go and that's no different for me. It was without a doubt worthwhile and I learned so much about London, England, Europe, and the world as well as a great deal about myself. Alex E - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile because I learned that I am capable of living on my own and navigating a new city. I basically started all over and it was super fun. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I ever made. After this semester I am confident that wherever I go in my life I will be able to handle myself in new situations, navigate new places, and befriend people from all over. London is an amazing city and I can see myself living there at some point in my life. Rebecca L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself from being abroad. It was a completely different culture, and QMUL was in a non-glitzy area of London. I loved traveling and it was worthwhile to have a new experience. Zina K - Santa Clara University View Entire Review

It was definitely worthwhile. It gave me a goal for what I want to do with my life, boosted my confidence, and broadened my global experience. A student - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent, and how it is to live in a big city. It was definitely a memorable 6 months. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I became more independent, more functional. I learned how to cook for myself and to navigate a strange city on my own, and it felt great. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent, and how to travel on a really small budget- it is so easy to get around Europe on their train systems once you figure out how to do it. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned I liked living abroad in a city. It was definitely worthwhile to meet new types of people. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I thought it was worthwhile Jessica L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was worth every minute of preparation and every cent plus more. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to be able to experience it. I have never felt more excited than I did everyday that I was abroad. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was my first time in Europe, so I was able to travel to places I've always wanted to go to, so I gained exposure to the culture and sights that I have always wanted to see. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
The whole world does not run the same way the US does. There is a deeper appreciation for the city, the food, culture, and for others. It was an amazing experience, one in which I learned so much about the world and about how I view it. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I definitely learned how to adapt to other areas of academics since I did not take a single class towards my major. I also gained insight into the culture in London. Probably the most important, I learned to be independent; London gave me the opportunity to just go out and do something whenever I wanted. Anything and everything ... Daniela C - Trinity University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much confidence from this past semester, and I really feel like I've grown from it. East London is also seriously my favorite place I have ever lived. It's lively, diverse, and full of options for people from every walk of life. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience abroad really exposed me to know what it is like to live in another country for a long period of time. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned what it is like to be a foreigner and how to both cope with and assimilate into another culture. It helped make me more independent and willing to get outside my comfort zone. I met all kinds of people and saw beautiful places. Definitely a worthwhile experience. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
