I gained independence, maturity, cultural values, and an interest in traveling the world! Definitely worthwhile. My only regret is I didn't get to be there longer! Ashley J - University of Massachusetts - Lowell View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and definitely grew up a little bit. I loved it, and I wish I didn't have to leave. It was definitely worth while. I made amazing friends and got to travel around Europe.

The ability to discover things about yourself that you didn't know about and discovering the world outside of the United States. Also discovering the different career options for the future A student - Pittsburg State University View Entire Review
Yes! I would reccommend studying abroad to any college student, it is truly a once in a lifetime oppourtunity. Jaclyn H - Columbia College Chicago View Entire Review
absolutely. its made me a better person and its opened up a lot of new doors for me. A student View Entire Review
It was definitely worth it. I've considered archaeology and paleontology due to my class with Gustav Milne. This trip to London was my first out of the country, and it sparked a huge wanderlust in me - since this program, I've revisited London, lived in Italy, backpacked in Aruba, took a ferry to Greece, and slept outside in Ire... Michelle K - University of Michigan - Dearborn View Entire Review
My experience was absolutely amazing. I was able to be a tourist and see all the sites ,as well as meet with numerous businesses to learn how they conduct business and how similar/different it may be from businesses in America. Besides seeing all the sites, our guided tours enabled us to gain a perspective of the culture that ... Greg O - Quinnipiac University View Entire Review
I have gained a broader perspective on different cultures and even our own. I've become much more culturally aware. Laura V - Montclair State University View Entire Review
I in no way regret my decision to study abroad for a year. It was an incredible experience and I had the opportunity to travel extensively and make great friends both American and British. Living in the city was an educational and rewarding experience, and one I am anxious to repeat. Interstudy was a great program to help me ... Lucy L - University of Virginia View Entire Review
I gained a perspective on international cultures as well as a new perspective of my own culture back home. The academic structure is very different in England and may be difficult to get used to but I can picture myself going back to study further. Caroline M - Gordon College View Entire Review
I learned to finally have fun and take it easy. The only reason why I would not do this program again is because I felt that I was not academically challenged, and although people say they don't go abroad for the education part of it, I think it was still important to me to have good classes.

Lock your door. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
So much has been given to me in five short months away from my home, that I never thought was possible. I've learned the beauty of spontaneity. I've learned how much more there is to this world, beyond what I've known for so long. I have learned how much I am capable of - living in a completely new environment, exploring a ci...

Since I have studied in London I have realized that my future prospects are not limited to the US. I can easily see myself moving to London in the future. Brittany Y - Western Washington University View Entire Review
My experience abroad allowed me a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures. My time with Interstudy and at Goldsmiths changed my academic interest and future plans, as the result of my amazing time with Interstudy and Goldsmiths I transferred universities and am currently finishing up my BA degree in England a... Alexandra B - Washington State University - Pullman campus View Entire Review
It as impacted my awareness so much more. To be over in England really helps to understand the people better and what they do, you learn history. I became more interactive with the world. Traveling around Europe you have to research the country before you go, learn what is polite and what not to do, and better blend in. I have b... Nichelle R - St. Cloud State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, and got to experience more culture than I ever have. It reinforced my previous academic and career goals. I find myself missing London now, and would go back in a heartbeat. Rachael G - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
I learned a lot about being independent and got a good glimpse of reality mixed in with the absolute fantasy. Many of my friends who went to places like Costa Rica and South Africa expected a lot of cultural differences, but said they were disappointed. I went to London, a place where they speak the same language and seem simila... Mary C - Marietta College View Entire Review
