Neuroscience & Behavior Study Abroad Programs in England

My time at Richmond has been the best 3 weeks of my life. I've never felt freer and happier. I have made so many friends along the way that I will never forget, friends that I laughed with until we were all out of breath and crying. The history that London has is almost unreal, walking by churches that are older than America. Everyone was unbelievably kind, at concerts we were upgraded to front row seats, and in class we were given opportunities to see Oxford and York - both of which were some of the best moments I had with the friends I made. Our professor was always willing to answer two million questions, before Richmond I had never had fun learning. I'll never forget my time in London with Richmond and every opportunity it's given me.

I would 100% recommend CIEE Study Abroad. I stayed in London for all 3 of my blocks, and the staff could not have been more helpful and supportive throughout my time here. They have helped me grow as a student, and as a person in the last 4 months, and I have found a city that I have fallen in love with. The planned events were always perfectly timed with the seasons and had a variety to choose from every block. I plan on returning in spring of 2027 through CIEE again!

The CIEE staff clearly really care about us and how we do. Ashlyn is very organized, and really tries her hardest to fix any issue we have with courses. The teachers at Villanova University are also all AMAZING and so kind.

I think it is a great program, obviously. It's super cool to just spend a really potent six weeks in a country, develop some passionate friendships, and then move on to the next place. I think I have learned a lot so far, and it's only the end of the first block

It’s an amazing opportunity to see the world and isn’t as expensive as some other programs! They’re super hands on, which I personally like because it’s nice to know you have a support system that cares about you when you’re thousands of miles away from your family or friends. The people that work here are so nice and genuinely want to get to know you and make you feel cared about. I was so scared to study abroad, but the second I got here, I knew I was in the right hands and felt cared about. It's nice to know you have a whole team of people who have your back when doing something super out of your comfort zone. I also like that they conduct excursions within our classes but also for the program as a whole.

Deciding to attend the Bristol Summer School in Medieval Studies was one of the happiest decisions I've made. I really enjoyed my time there: the university building and dormitory were really comfortable, the academic program was so rich that I couldn't imagine one richer, and the professors and staff were so kind and helpful. During the summer school, we were given the opportunity to visit numerous medieval towns, castles, cathedrals and manuscripts. At the end of this summer school, we, the students, can navigate the world of medieval studies: we learned how to approach a manuscript, how to analyse churches and literary works. In addition to the specific medieval teachings, the staff had always organised different and funny activities to do in the extra time, to meet and get to know the other students there in Bristol.

I wish I could go back to Bristol again. To sit in the Royal Fort Gardens with an iced latte in hand, feeling the breeze against my skin. To wander down to the harbourside and let the summer vibes soak into my bones. To walk alone up Brandon Hill and take in the city from Cabot Tower, the kind of view that makes you breathe a little deeper and think a little clearer. And to relive those late Friday nights on King Street, where the laughter, the music, and the warmth of the crowd made me feel alive in a way I can’t quite put into words. Bristol wasn’t just a place I visited, it became a feeling I carry with me.

I had such a great time at Lite Regal Education Summer School 2025 The Intensive English course really helped my English improve a lot in such a short time. I also met so many new friends from different countries everyone was super kind and friendly.

the staff is wonderful and very accommodating to different situations. I would specifically like to add that with the London program Ashlyn is AMAZING. made the whole experience a million times easier. I especially loved the eventbrite excursions we can sign up for to explore more

I think the entire staff is very supportive and genuinely cares about each and every student. The program is organized in such a way that each student gets not only the best experiences, but also education, support, and knowledge of their new temporary home.

I chose AIFS Abroad because I wanted a program that combined strong academic support with cultural experiences. I joined the London program, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The pre-departure team guided me through each step, answering questions quickly and making me feel prepared before leaving. In London, the staff were welcoming and approachable, always checking in to make sure we were doing well. The housing was safe and well-located, which made daily life so much easier. I especially loved the excursions and cultural activities—they helped me explore London and other parts of the UK in ways I wouldn’t have managed on my own. What stood out most was the community I built. I met people who became close friends, and the experience gave me more independence and confidence. Professionally, I gained skills in adaptability and communication that I know will help me in the future. I’d recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking for a program that balances academics, culture, and support in a truly meaningful way.

Studying at the Univeristy of Roehampton for a semester was an unforgettable experience! I built lasting friendships there and there were new adventures everyday. I will forever cherish my time at Roehampton!

This was an eye-opening experience for me, and I learned more about myself this semester than I ever have before. The University of Roehampton gave me the freedom I needed to grow as a dancer and global citizen.

My time at Roehampton was definitely one of the best years of my life, and much needed after almost two years of lockdown. I am so thankful for the people I met and the memories we made. Adjusting to a new culture and speaking a different language was challenging at times, but it made me more confident, and I really learned to step out of the comfort zone. The possibilities in London are never-ending, and it was so incredible to be able to explore such a vibrant and exciting city while living and studying at the most beautiful parkland campus.

I had a good time at Roehampton. Initially, there were some bumps in the road with arrival (rooming, food, courses), but the Study Abroad team was very helpful in navigating it all. My classes have allowed me to progress significantly with my degree, which is the whole reason I chose to study abroad! I appreciated the constant communication and what was offered to us through Roehampton for exploring London.

My time at Roehampton was fun but went by way too quickly! There have been so many exciting events like Freshers Week or the field trip at Kew Gardens that I know I will miss it when I come back to the United States.

Traveling half way around the world to study at Roehampton has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone. Growing up I never lived in a city and never visited one, so experiencing London as both a foreign land and a city was a big culture shock for me. I have had to learn how to adapt to my surroundings and how to be more independent while studying here. As my time here comes to an end I am sad to go, but also excited to see my family again after so long. When I get back home, if anyone asks me if they should study abroad too, I will not hesitate to tell them yes. This experience is one of a kind, and one that I think more students should take advantage of.

Studying abroad at Roehampton has been the best time of my education experience. The university is very close to many famous sites in London and I have crossed so many things off my bucket list. The school has everything you need and makes it easy to make friends by organizing events and allowing you to participate in many clubs. My time here has been amazing and I’ve met some great friends, I would definitely recommend Roehampton.

Amazing program every which way. Consistent schedule and routine. Free Friday’s to be able to travel on weekends. Class Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and Wednesday student life & involvement events. Met great people and went to amazing sites.

The London team offers so much assistance. The stunning study center structure is right next door to the British Museum. The housing is compact but adequate. I had a roommate situation where we didn't get along and I needed to transfer roommates. They were able to give me my own room until my family arrived to visit, at which point I could stay with them. When you require assistance or have inquiries, they are helpful. Although the city is fantastic, it is pricey to live there. Throughout the entire 6 weeks, they put on fantastic day trips and excursions. The city also has amazing food and is very diverse!
