Study Abroad in London Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The workload was dependent on how much time you wanted to put into the course. Grades were completely dependent on final exams so a lot of work was not necessarily required throughout the term. This system requires a lot of discipline during the term so that you don't let all of the work pile up for the end.

On-site administration of your program

Everything was well organized and easy to figure out. They handle a lot of American students and are used to the American university system.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I applied for student housing which was easy to do. My only complaint was that I lived with all Americans which didn't contribute to my abroad experience. There was no meal plan so I had to buy cookware. I also had to buy sheets and towels.

I had to cook for myself. There are plenty of grocery stores around with great varieties of foods.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

The best way to learn about the culture is to make friends with people who live in the country and who can show you around and take you out to non touristy places.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I didn't need to use any of the health or safety services but they were well advertised and appeared to be easily accessible if needed

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
