It was really worthwhile and I was glad I got the chance to live at university as it was a lot of fun. The courses were interesting but not too hard so travelling etc. was possible when uni was on. A student - The Australian National University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I got to travel both in the UK and in mainland Europe. I really felt like I was a part of UEA even though I was only there for a semester. The university is a lot of fun, but it was definitely a break from the academic rigor I am used to. I did not like the academic system very much, but the social ...

UEA was the perfect place for my art history exchange. Although the UK and Australia aren't that different linguistically or culturally, there was always something to talk about or be mocked about. As cliché as it sounds, I made some friends for life and created some amazing, fun, sometimes blurred memories that can never be rep... Alexandra P - Curtin University View Entire Review
I was essentially on my own for long periods of time (ex: Easter Break) so I pretty much learned How To Be An Adult. On a lighter note, I got much better at public transportation. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes! Studying abroad is always worthwhile, especially for me. The number one thing I gain from being abroad id Confidence in me, my academic ability, being able to deal with living on my own with other people in another country, etc. I will never forget this experience. Crystal C - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I gained the perspective of a person who has travelled and lived in a different culture. It was completely worthwhile as I was able to experience things I would never normally been given the opportunity to at home. A student - Western University View Entire Review
My exchange to UEA was one of the best decisions I've ever made, both academically and personally. I met so many amazing people, got the opportunity to travel to so many different places and very much enjoyed all of the courses in which I was enrolled. I learned to become a lot more independent and what it means to be a global ... Stephanie L - University of Western Ontario View Entire Review
Incredible teachers that gave me a whole new out look to my studies who were very supportive and knowledgable A student - Curtin University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile moving to Norwich to attend UEA. I loved the cohesiveness and comprehensiveness of the campus and its services, I thought the town was really sweet and I made lots of really good friends. I also gained an appreciation for some aspects of my own uni, and gained independence and confidence in my organi... Wei-Wei N - Victoria University of Wellington View Entire Review
I gained both academic and social/personal experience. I learned to adapt to new academic situations and new social ones as well. I made some amazing friends in a short time period and it was worth all the money and effort it took to go on exchange. A student - University of British Columbia View Entire Review
I went to learn, not make friends so in that sense it was a success. A student - University of Technology - Sydney / UTS View Entire Review
I learned how to relax and adapt. It was very valuable. Kamela B - University of Oregon View Entire Review
I gained lifelong friends and it was worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I took one of the most challenging and rewarding classes at my time at the UEA and truly learned what I was capable of academically. Because studies are much more independent, I now feel more equipped in my abilities as a student and worker. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
Studying abroad at UEA was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about different cultures and experienced different types of people. I made a lot of great friends, saw some really cool sites, and completely fell in love with England. When can I move there? Laura D - Framingham State College View Entire Review
Learnt all sorts of things about myself, how other people live, think and act. Made so many amazing friends. And saw so much of the world travelling around that will definitely make me a different person for life. Definitely, definitely worthwhile. A student - University of Sydney View Entire Review
I learnt so much from my experience abroad. I would definitely do it again and it was very worthwhile. A student - Griffith University View Entire Review
Independence and accountability, two virtues that studying abroad gave me Sam B - Macquarie University View Entire Review
I learned about a new system of education, differences in culture, and made a lot of friends. amy.carr.752 - University of Oregon View Entire Review
I could be independent and maintain a really good balance between social life and academic life. It helped me to loosen up and become less worried about organising life down to the final second. Claire R - University of Wollongong View Entire Review
It was challenging but really fun. UEA is a great uni, with great staff, great classes and great opportunities. I definitely recommend it :) A student - University of Tasmania View Entire Review
Taking advantage of school breaks to travel everywhere was the best part of my study abroad. I was able to actually see Britain, not just my dorm room. Those trips and the friends I made on them were life-changing. A student - Goucher College View Entire Review
Very worthwhile! Interesting classes and a great city. A student - Tulane University View Entire Review
Independence, and belief in my own choices. The drive to make the most of any chance you get, and also learning that sometimes you don;t have to say yes to everything. I have access to great new perspective on my course of study, very good staff, and amazing facilities. Being away from a big city gave me the chance to rest betwe...

My decision to study at UEA was definitely the best decision I have ever made. A student - Hobart and William Smith Colleges View Entire Review

The University of East Anglia (UEA) is an internationally renowned UK University that provides top quality academic, social and cultural facilities to students across a range of disciplines.
This uniquely-placed University is a leading member of the Norwich Research Park, one of Europe's biggest concentrations of researchers in the fields of environment, health and plant science. UEA encourages a 'thinking without borders' approach to innovation in both teaching and research. This focus on interdisciplinary collaboration across the University - and with UEA's partner institutes across Norwich Research Park - is one of UEA's strengths and provides an incredibly stimulating environment for students.
UEA also has a long established reputation for innovation and brilliance across the Arts and Humanities. Situated in England's first UNESCO City of Literature, UEA offers a vibrant and supportive environment with year-round literary events, including UEA Live, the Noirwich Crime Writing Festival, and the hugely successful International Literary Festival (with talks from Ian McEwan, Anne Enright, and Noble Prize winner, Kazuo Ishiguro, all alumni of UEA).
UEA is based in the UK's most complete medieval city, Norwich. Recently having been named one of the 'best places to live in the UK' by the Times. With a plethora of quirky shops, independent cafes and one of the largest open-air markets in the UK, Norwich is a city that combines community and culture.
