Studying abroad in England changed my life and opened my eyes. Past Review
By Henry L (Business Administration, University of California - Riverside) for
University of Sussex: Brighton - International Summer School
Definitely worthwhile. I gained an understanding of cultural differences and made me think outside of the box as far as how we think as Americans and how we should be more open to differences.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
Workload was not bad at all, grading system was more than fair, teaching methods were great, classes were a lot smaller and more personal. Better experience than taking classes at UCR for sure. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Strengths were many, weaknesses were few. |

Discovery Tours in Brighton was amazing. But also take the time to find out about events happening within the country that are within reasonable distance and budget to make it to. The special events arranged by the program was also very good. Take advantage of those. |
