I made my dream a reality.

As someone who has always wanted to go away for college, I made a promise to myself I would one day study abroad. This year I made my dream a reality. I had the privilege to study at the University of Roehampton in London during this summer semester! This is one of my biggest accomplishments/blessings, and I am so happy that I am able to fulfill not just a goal of mine, but my dream to study in one of the greatest cities of the world!

The best summer ever

Studying at the University of Roehampton was the best 6 weeks ever. I made friends with people from all over the world and got to enjoy not only London but also the areas surrounding the university. The school is 20 minutes away from Putney Bridge station that can bring you straight to the city center. My tutors were interactive with the content taught which helped me enjoy the courses. I love learning and studying so being able to do so during the summer in my favorite country ever, made this the best summer ever.

10/10!

I had the most mazing experience at the University of Roehampton! It really grew me as a person and was such a great opportunity to travel and learn at the same time. The whole experience was a 10 out of 10!

Roehampton was amazing!

Roehampton was amazing! Since it is in the heart of a cute, cozy greater london community and only a short tube ride to many of london’s most popular locations, I got to do everything I wanted to and more. My class was interesting and my tutors were kind and funny. The staff were very supportive and available for questions. And most of all, I loved London culture and the friends I met along the way!

True "London" experience

The University of Roehampton is an inclusive campus that encompasses beautiful grounds, a new, quite resourceful library, and wonderful students- both international and local who are friendly and helpful. The professors were easy to reach out to and very accommodating, as were the module tutors (TA's). I was very impressed with the Roehampton Abroad team, the pre and post orientations gave a lot of information, and when I had an issue with my flat, they immediately moved me to another and even gave me the choice of rooms within my college. The transportation system in London is great (although expensive) and there are almost always several ways to get to your destination. One of the things I liked best about the University of Roehampton is the Social Programme, I definitely would not have made a separate trip out to some places such as York or Oxford and the Cotswolds. Overall I made a bunch of new friends and would 110% do it all over again if I could. Full disclosure however, this was my own experience and you may have another but I am very happy with how studying abroad was for me.
