Program Reviews:
Fall 2024 Participant
The University of Leeds has certain faculty that are leading experts in their fields and teach classes that only a handful of universities in the world teach. So it was really nice being able to learn from industry leaders and have direct access to them.

Fall 2023 Participant
An element of the program that I found most rewarding was being able to step out of my comfort zone of being in Kansas, where I am close to family and friends, and move to a whole new country to study for the semester! This forced me to make friends right away and now I have friends from so many countries to go and visit one day. Another element that was rewarding was being able to travel on the weekends, since England is just a short plane ride away from different European countries, I was able to explore Europe and see so many different cultures.

Fall 2024 Participant
The University of Leeds is a really diverse campus and I got to meet people from all over the world. My flat mates were from different countries, including South Africa, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Korea. Moreover, since the campus is really close to the city centre, it makes it even easier to spend time with friends and explore the city, or take a train to London and Manchester for a day trip.
