Program Reviews:
Victoria R Calderon, Spring 2016 Participant
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.

Emily P Barton, Spring 2017 Participant
I found that gaining confidence and independence were the most rewarding elements of the program. Studying abroad gives you the ability to think in your own way and prove to yourself that you can handle things on your own in a completely different place.
