Experience of a Lifetime Past Review
By Erin M (Yale University) - abroad from 06/30/2013 to 08/23/2013 with
University of Cambridge, Pembroke College: Cambridge - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I learned so much from my classes. I traveled to 5 different countries. I met such an array of people. I truly had the best summer of my life. And I would give anything to do it again. And I am certainly not the only one saying that.

Review Your Program
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The courses were the perfect level of difficulty. I had a decent amount of work, but not enough to impede my travel. I learned so much. The true worth of the program (besides its amazing location, people, ease of travel) was how amazing the courses were. I truly learned so much. |
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
The Program Assistants were amazing. British students same age as us, who were always there to talk about courses, or activities in the area, or travel plans. |
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I don't think I will ever in my life live somewhere as beautiful as King's College. Especially Bodley's Court. Living on the river was unreal. |

Finances

You spend as much money as you want. The money I spent was all on travel. But even so, travel is not very expensive there. It's what you make it. |

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
