Studying abroad in London was really fun, I learned a lot about living in another city and met some great people. Strongly recommended. Daniella P View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I learned how to be more independent and deal with challenges Clare K - Barnard College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience gave me a new perspective on my studies at Wellesley and deepened my academic interests, mainly because of the regional focus of the program. I gained a fuller appreciation not only of my host country but also of my Wellesley experience and developed a clearer idea about my postgrad plans which might i...

It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself during my time abroad. Dilruba P - Barnard College View Entire Review
I would choose a different program within this university. My overall study abroad experience was worthwhile because of the people I met and the traveling I got to do. The academic experience was poor and hardly an experience at all. I gained a much broader cultural experience from people who I met from other European countrie...

Going into the experience, I knew that academics were important but really I found that the overall experience was the most valuable. I learned a lot from my classes but I learned more from learning about another culture, meeting people, traveling, being away from home, etc. Melissa H - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I can hardly begin to write about everything I experienced in my nine months in London. Every day was extraordinary, even the bad ones. It's ineffable. I didn't come home for Christmas. I didn't want to come home in June. I met people who have changed my life and my perspective on the world. I made friends I will never... KatherineKing - Tulane University View Entire Review

You have a chance to travel and see things many adults get to see their w... Nathan D - Columbia University View Entire Review
This was the greatest experience of my life and I feel bad for students that do not do it. If finances are an issue, do an exchange program! London is my favorite city and so living there for nearly 6 months was a dream come true. Bari S - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Past Review
I Loved Being At Ucl, But It Does Require You To Be Independent And Pretty Self Motivated.
It was absolutely worthwhile. I love the independence I gained by being abroad for nine months, and it made me much more confident about living entirely on my own. I also feel really lucky to have had access to so many cultural and arts activities, and for all the traveling I got to do. Megan G - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was great and helped me feel confident that I can live far from home and survive in a foreign country. Elena B - Barnard College View Entire Review
