The University of Sussex gave me the opportunity to make great friends through an abroad meet-and-greet at the beginning. Through the class set up it was easy to travel and still make good grades. I felt like it was very lax and allowed me to immerse myself in exploring. The housing setup was a bit rough for me since my roomates were disgusting and made shared spaces difficult to go into. Brighton is a quick train ride away and a great city.

Coming to Sussex was not only academically enriching, but it also gave me the opportunity to meet students from all over the world as well as local British students. The University of Sussex and the city of Brighton offer so many exciting activities and things to do, making it easy to get involved and make the most of your time here! I would highly recommend joining a society. Whether it's the Walking Society, where you can explore the beautiful South Downs and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings, or Pilates to unwind and stay active, there is something for everyone. In addition, I really enjoyed the content of my modules. The lecturers were fantastic, and the seminars were engaging! Overall, my time at Sussex has been an incredibly rewarding academic and personal experience!

What I enjoyed most about this program was the homestay element. I believe that it gave me insight into how Chinese people live on a day to day basis and it also gave me a very authentic environment to put my Chinese to the test. I also really liked how the hosts spoke Chinese the entire time, something I would have liked the staff/teachers to try to do a tiny bit more of. Overall, the lessons were very organized and the activities very structured, which was great! Overall, a fantastic first exposure to Chinese language and culture.

This year at Sussex University was a great opportunity for me to get out of my confort zone, better my English and meet great people! I had an amazing time discovering new teaching methods and topics! Thank you Sussex I will not forget you !

Studying at the University of Sussex was one of the best experiences of my life. The welcoming campus community, various student events, and language cafés made it easy to meet friends from around the world. I also enjoyed the beautiful natural surroundings and the convenient location near London, which made traveling around the UK and Europe easy. Living independently, cooking for myself, and studying in an international environment helped me grow both personally and academically. I highly recommend Sussex to anyone looking for a supportive, diverse, and unforgettable exchange experience.

During my last semester at Uni, I had the chance to do an exchange at the university of Sussex. At first, I was scared I wouldn't manage to make friends but I was proved wrong very quickly. The uni organises a lot of events for international students to meet eachother and more generally there is always something to do on campus! Moreover, the classes I got to choose as a film student were really interesting and the staff was always there to answer my questions as well as the professors. And finally, the broad selection of societies is great to explore new hobbies so I would really recommend going to Sussex if you want to live this unique experience too!!

I have had an incredible experience in Barcelona, and much of that comes from the comfort Absolute Internship provided. Their Orientations gave me a clear idea of workplace customs and helped me better prepare for the internship with that knowledge in mind. The Program Coordinators were kind, and I grew comfortable with them to ask for advice and recommendations; I know that I could go to them whenever I have an issue or concern. The activities they set out for us allowed me to meet people who I soon became close friends with, and they reached out to make sure that I was comfortable throughout my time there!

Studying abroad in Buenos Aires was one of the best decisions I've made. I learned so much through my classes, internship, and day to day life in the city. Being able to see public health from a different perspective helped me grow both academically and personally. The program staff were incredibly supportive, my host family made me feel at home, and I made great friends along the way. Of course there were adjustments, like getting used to the late dinners and navigating a new city, but those experiences became part of what made the semester so memorable. I came home more confident, more independent, and even more excited about pursuing a career in public health. I would definitely choose this program again and recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful study abroad experience.

An unforgettable experience! Well-planned, educational, and inspiring, Bethel University’s Study Abroad program exceeded every expectation. The memories and friendships will last a lifetime. A special thank you to Stacie Freeman, whose exceptional planning, organization, and attention to every detail made this trip seamless and stress-free. Her dedication, leadership, and genuine care for every traveler truly made this an experience we will never forget. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering studying abroad!

I had a great experience studying abroad at the University of Sussex. The campus is beautiful, surrounded by green space, and located just outside Brighton, which is an amazing city with plenty of restaurants, nightlife, and things to do. The academics were engaging, and the professors were approachable and supportive. I also appreciated how easy it was to meet students from around the world through orientation events and student societies, making the experience both academically and personally rewarding. The university offers good support for international students, and the location provides easy access to London and the rest of Europe for weekend trips. One area that could be improved is the number of organized programs and events specifically for study abroad and exchange students throughout the semester. While there are great activities during Welcome Week, having more excursions, social events, and opportunities to connect with local students and other international students would make the experience even better. Overall, I would highly recommend the University of Sussex to anyone considering studying abroad. It is a fantastic place to learn, meet people from around the world, and experience life in the UK.
