Had a really great experience

I enjoyed Roehampton because the campus is so beautiful. The campus is also about 30 minutes away from the city with a train station and tube stop nearby. Roehampton was easy to navigate, and everyone was very friendly. I enjoyed my module, and I met a lot of new people! I really loved studying abroad in London at Roehampton. I was happy to study theatre in London and see shows that I may not have seen otherwise. London was one of the places that I wanted to go see and the fact that I could study abroad there made it even better. I loved my time in London, and I wish that I had more time there. I would come back in a heartbeat.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Learning how to navigate in a new country and meeting new people. I overcame this challenge by using city mapper, google maps, and other map apps along with traveling with people the first couple of days to get familiar with the city. I also just talked to people in my class, at lunch, etc. to make friends and meet new people.
Pros
  • Beautiful Campus
  • Great location
  • Good classes
Cons
  • Felt too short and class was rushed

Roehampton

The dorms were run down with some showers flooding and toilets malfunctioning. The alarm system was malfunctioning so we were sometimes woken up in the morning by loud alarms. My campus ID and room card also malfunctioned multiple times. It was clear the campus was winding down from the academic year and not exactly ready for new students. The campus is beautiful and the city is easily accessible. The academics weren't particularly rigorous or prioritized within the program so wouldn't recommend if you were expecting an intense or in-depth study. Good program for casual travelers who aren't picky with lodging or academic programs.

The best summer at Roehampton!!

I absolutely loved doing summer school at Roehampton University. The summer program is an amazing alternative to studying abroad all semester and I'm glad that I chose it. The classes are designed for exchange students and to teach you about the culture and history of London while also giving you the time to explore the city on your own and make friends with the other study abroad students. The other students and I truly felt like a family who had known each other for years after just a few days of exploring the city together. The University of Roehampton reminds me so much of King's because of its smaller size and tight knit community that was incredibly welcoming. I think every student should consider studying abroad, and the Summer at Roehampton Program is the perfect option for students who cannot go away for months at a time.

Set on a beautiful and historic campus, this study program offers a personalised academic experience that will help you become the kind of graduate employers are looking for: a confident, critical thinker, able to adapt to a changing world, with an ongoing passion for your subject.

Amazing 3 weeks!

The University of Roehampton folks were super welcoming and friendly! The events they had planned for us were fun, inviting, and really interactive. Never once did I feel like I was alone here. From the minute I stepped off the plane to the minute I returned home, Roehampton was with me every step of the way. My tutor was funny and made learning about art really fun and interesting. Through the class course, I was able to see some really amazing museums. I HIGHLY recommend attending the University of Roehampton for your summer!

Pros
  • Super friendly people
  • Getting lost and finding places you couldn't even imagine
  • The gelato in here is very delicious
Cons
  • Public transportation really racks up
  • Uber's here are very expensive

Best Summer Ever!

I had such a wonderful and memorable experience at Roehampton University! I made life long friendships and had an amazing time exploring London! I took the "Introduction to the London Stage" class, and I thoroughly enjoyed the theatre in London. All of the shows we went to see for class were interesting and expanded my knowledge of theatre. We saw 10 different shows as a class in the 3 weeks I was there.
There were many fun places to hang out with people I met, and the campus is just a short ride on the tube away from central London. There are plenty of places to shop there, plus there's cool markets to check out where I bought some really awesome souvenirs.
The Roehampton University campus is beautiful! I would highly recommend this program for your summer study abroad trip! 10/10

What would you improve about this program?
The only thing I would like to change about this program is to make it longer than 3 weeks. It can go by too fast.

Summer School

Studying at Roehampton University was an absolute pleasure! The campus is beautiful with gorgeous lakes and lush green parks to enjoy time with friends. The staff and advisors were super friendly and very helpful throughout my time studying here. The rooms are decent but do get very warm in the summer. Overall, studying at Roehampton was great fun and I've made friends from around the world that will stay with me for a lifetime!

review of Roehampton international summer school

I really enjoy these three weeks at Roehampton University! On the arrival day, my flight arrived in London at 9:00 pm, and I have already passed the coach pick-up time. I told the Roehampton abroad team and asked them some information about how to get to the campus. Because it's my first time to Europe and my classmates all took different flights from mine, I'm alone. Luckily, Nat arranged a uber for me and I am really appreciated for that! He's very nice and patient! During these three weeks, he solved lots of problems for me! Thank you again for all the support on the campus! It's the first time that EdUHK sends students here, and I will recommend Roehampton to my friends in Hong Kong! Suggestions are that the doors in accommodation are too thin, sometimes I cannot sleep well~

Magic murder and mystery

It was a great program i had a lot of fun and its in a great location to see London. Every day you have the opportunity to travel anywhere in London within an hour from a station that is only a fifteen minute walk from the dorms. The staff really concerned about whether or not you are having a good time. They make all the course work easy to access and free so you don't have any surprise expenses. They have a lot of social excursions in and out of London that are really enjoyable and vary widely from going to see a play in the east end to taking a bus trip to Stonehenge and Baths or providing a walking tour to explore the city and learn about the history of London along the way. The kitchen package that they provide is very useful for cooking the food you can get at the super store not too far from campus! This was a great experience!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I recommend that you pack light so you can bring more souvenirs back
