"It was more than I could have ever imagined. I gained a lot artistically and in my field of fashion design, but I think I gained more about myself. Living and becoming a part of a family was the key to making this experience so meaningful. I made real relationships and was truly integrated into the culture."

"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile, and I grew so much as a person. Academically, I would not say it was worthwhile, as the majority of my classes will not transfer. I would definitely do it again in a second, and I plan to go back to London after I graduate this May!"
Statia G Virginia Commonwealth University

You learn a new sense of independence and responsibility. The people you will meet with challenge and test your mind in the healthiest way possible. You will come back a changed person!"
