Latest Program Reviews
A Strong Foundation for Medical Training
September 18, 2026by: Mahira Barakat - United KingdomThe MD Pre-Clinical programme at New Anglia University has been a very valuable part of my medical education so far. They do whatever is necessary to build a proper understanding of the basic medical sciences before moving further into clinical training. What I like is that the subjects are not treated as completely separate areas of study. As you progress it becomes easier to see how the different topics relate to each other and how they contribute to understanding the human body and disease. Another aspect I have found useful is the introduction to clinical reasoning and medical concepts at an early stage. It gives more context to the scientific material and makes studying it feel more relevant. Instead of only focusing on remembering information for exams, there is more emphasis on understanding the concepts and being able to apply what you have learned to medical situations. The programme has also required me to become much more organised with my studying. Keeping up with the material takes consistency and independent work, which I think is good preparation for the demands of the later stages of medical school. Although there have been difficult topics and periods where the workload felt quite intense, I have noticed a real improvement in both my understanding and confidence since starting. Overall, I feel that the MD Pre-Clinical programme is giving me a solid academic base and a better idea of what to expect as I continue my medical training.
Trusting New Anglia with my whole studies has been my best choice so far!!
September 18, 2026by: Nayla Safadi - AnguillaI’ve been enjoying the MD Pre-Clinical programme at New Anglia University so far. The workload can be a lot sometimes, but I feel like I am getting a much better understanding of the subjects rather than just memorising everything. I also like that we are introduced to clinical topics early on because it makes the science more interesting and easier to relate to medicine.
my experience has been great so far
September 18, 2026by: Aydin Azami - United KingdomMy experience with the Premed programme at New Anglia University has been very positive. The programme has provided me with a strong foundation in the core subjects I will need for my future medical studies, while also helping me develop better academic habits and a more structured approach to learning. I found the transition into the programme challenging at first, but with time I became much more comfortable with the workload and expectations. I also appreciate that the programme is focused on preparing students for the next stage rather than simply covering academic content. Overall, Premed has given me greater confidence in my abilities and made me feel much better prepared to continue towards medical school.
I am very confident to continue my studies here
September 18, 2026by: Inaya Qadri - AnguillaStarting the MD Pre-Clinical programme at NAU has made me feel much more confident about continuing into medicine. The workload is definitely demanding, but I feel like I am learning a lot from it. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to have a thorough knowledge of medicine and wants to become a certified doctor.
An Unforgettable European Adventure
September 18, 2026by: Carolina H - United StatesProgram: Nursing, Pre-Med, and Biomed Summer Program in Europe
Forum-Nexus was a wonderful experience, and I would rate it 9/10. I loved traveling to so many places, meeting new people, and learning through the classes and professional visits. The program was well balanced, and the staff were supportive and helpful. I especially enjoyed the independent cultural visits and the opportunity to experience different cities. Some professional visits, such as Heineken, felt a little long, and the Paris hotel was not ideal. Overall, I learned a lot, made great memories, and would definitely recommend Forum-Nexus to others.
An Amazing Experience

El clima En la clase siempre era más familiar o como con amigos buenos.
September 15, 2026by: Horst Von-Eiff - GermanyProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Hola a todos, estuve una estancia muy bonita aquí en Arequipa y en las clases de Máximo Nivel. Sobre todo la clases de Dyana. Antes, tenía muchos profesores de español, pero, como ella da sus clases . . . ¡Era la mejorar de todas! Siempre alegre y sonriendo. El clima En la clase siempre era más familiar o como con amigos buenos. Así, nunca me senti como en una clase de escuela. Hacer las conversaciones y la gramatica no era trabajo . Pero tambien muy detallado Y muy bien explicado. Eran tres semanas que ya me hacen falta. Y tambien las clases de cocina con Nora. No solo la comida me gustó mucho. Ella lo hace de una manera. muy buena. Quizá, se podría dar a las estudiante estudiantes de cocina tambien dar un pequeño certificado que dice, que ahora tienen experiencias en la cocina peruana :-)
Best Spanish teacher ever!
September 15, 2026by: Jean Fleschute - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
Dayana made learning Spanish fun. We laughed a lot and learned a lot. She was always encouraging and supportive. Dayana did a good job focusing on our errors with supplementary materials. Our group was very cohesive, in large part because Dayana brought us together. Best Spanish teacher ever!
My only regret is not staying longer!
September 15, 2026by: Emily Sherrick - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I was pleasantly surprised with this whole experience! You all have been incredible. Maximo's culture is very welcoming + easy to connect with other people. I so so appreciate all of the support you've provided. Also, Pamela is fantastic!! I wish I could learn from her for longer. She is warm and a great, relatable teacher who has made me feel proud + confident in my Spanish level. My only regret is not staying longer!

Enjoying the Learning
September 10, 2026by: Adnan Qadri - AnguillaThe classes have been really enjoyable and engaging. Doing my MD pre-clinical now! The content is interesting, and the way everything is presented makes it much easier to stay focused and involved throughout the programme.
This university made me decide that I want to pusue a career as a doctor!
September 07, 2026by: Omar Saleh - United KingdomChoosing what to study wasn’t an easy decision at first. The online learning experience at New Anglia University really helped make things clearer. The classes are interactive, engaging, and give you the opportunity to be involved rather than simply watching and listening. That experience made the subjects much more interesting and helped build a genuine interest in medicine. It gave me the confidence to commit to this path, and I’m now looking forward to continuing my studies and working towards becoming a doctor.

I have also found the academic content engaging and appropriately structured, which has made it easier to stay focused and motivated. The communication from the university has been professional and timely, and I have always felt that support is available when I need it.

An Amazing Experience!
September 03, 2026by: Aidan Hochstetler - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin America
I've been with Maximo a little over two months into my 6 month stay doing Spanish immersion. The locals, staff, and friends I have met here have been nothing short of incredible! Learning Spanish from native speakers and immersing yourself in the culture is the best way to do it. Cusco, Peru is such an amazing city full of history and wonderful nature. I cannot recommend it enough!

Life Changing Experience!
September 02, 2026by: Samuel Acosta - United StatesMy time in Italy was one of the most amazing, life-changing, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to visit Italy for the first time, especially since it was also my first time flying on an airplane. I loved how affordable the program was for everything that was included. We traveled throughout Central Italy, enjoyed amazing food and accommodations, and were guided by caring faculty and tour guides who truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. This trip gave me unforgettable memories, new friendships, and experiences that I will always be grateful for.
Amazing experience with an extremely smooth, well-ran program.
September 02, 2026by: Jay Robertson - United StatesI had an unforgettable time in Italy with Molise Italian Studies. It was my first time visiting a country outside of the United States, so I was a little worried at first. However, the program was so well run and smooth that I soon had no worries whatsoever. Our guide, Andrea, was excellent and our trip would not have been what it was without him. I would highly recommend Molise Italian Studies to any one who is interested in Italian culture, history, or exploring another country.
