Program Reviews:
Spring 2024 Participant
It's so difficult to choose my favorite part of the program as I loved almost every part of it. I made some of the best friends I've ever made, discovered a new interest in my major, and traveled all over the UK and Europe as a whole. Having the opportunity to take classes that aren't available at KU was fantastic as I opened my eyes to a whole new branch of my major that's helping drive my life plans after I graduate.

Spring 2024 Participant
I think that being able to meet people from all over the world was the most rewarding part. I've grown up and spent my entire life in a Midwest bubble, so being able to expand that by meeting people from so many corners of the planet was fantastic.

Fall 2021 Participant
I learned that sometimes you can't let education stop you from being educated. Traveling to a different country and throwing yourself into the culture can sometimes, if not always, be more educational than the classroom.
