Fall 2013 Participant
The most rewarding part of the program was proving to myself that I could live and function by myself in a different country. I was able to acclimate to a completely different diet, method of transportation, and cultural system. It was empowering, and I feel a lot more confident in my ability to live on my own and be an independent individual.

I loved being integrated with the full-time students studying at the University of Birmingham, but also having the opportunity to meet so many exchange students from around the world.

I met some of my best friends in this program, so getting the chance to travel with them around Europe (which is especially easy and cheap to do Birmingham, as they have an international airport) was the best part. Every aspect of the program, from the academic to the cultural, was wonderful; yet, my British flatmates and the other international students I met made the experience worthwhile.
