Arcadia Study Abroad: University of Winchester

I loved the uni of Winchester. The whole campus and the people are wonderful. Everyone is so warm and welcoming wanting you to have the best experience. The town of Winchester is a short 10 min walk from campus with everything you can need. Also a close walk to the train station if you need to go farther. Only an hour train ride to London if you want to see the city. Overall I had the best time ever and loved every minute of it.

I truly loved my time studying at the University of Winchester! I know it might seem more exciting to go to London or Oxford or one of the bigger, more touristy cities, but if you looking for a traditional English town experience, Winchester is the place to be. Every time I walked into town to get groceries or pop out for a drink, I felt like I was walking through a scene in a Jane Austen movie. This might have also been because Jane Austen did, in fact, live in Winchester at one point! I also was very grateful that I went through Arcadia! Every step of my journey from before I left the U.S. to even after I got back they were great! They communicated well and often and always responded to emails in a timely matter. My Advisor was also a huge help in settling me in and checking in on me throughout the semester and I still email her now after the completion of my program. I highly recommend Arcadia!
