Program Reviews

My daughter was unsure at first about starting her first semester of college abroad, but I convinced her to bite the bullet and it is clear that it was the best decision. This program has allowed her to transform into an independent, confident, and creative individual. She is growing a broader perspective, learning about herself, and discovering how to fiercely navigate the world as a young woman. Verto encourages the students’ independence while also providing meaningful support. I am thankful for how comfortable her homestay has made her feel.

I absolutely loved studying abroad in Costa Rica with Verto Education. If you love nature and are passionate about environmental science, this is definitely the place to be. One of my favorite things was going on hikes to see amazing waterfalls, and I also had a great time white water rafting on the Pacuare River. One of the most rewarding experiences was planting 1,000 trees in the Pacuare River Basin with the RAFA organization. Overall I had an amazing experience and I met some of the most amazing people I think I will ever meet.

I'm so happy I decided to study abroad with Verto! Not only can I gain credits and be on track to graduate in 4 years, but I get to do so in such an amazing location! London is a world-class city and there is never a shortage of things to do. If you love traveling, meeting new people, and hands-on learning outside of the classroom, Verto is for you. One of my favorite aspects of Verto's programming is its approach to experiential learning. I love going on field trips in my classes and using the city of London to really enhance my learning. For example, I've been to the British Museum for art history, Speakers Corner in Hyde Park for Communications, and the Imperial War Museum for International Relations. Since classes only meet once a week (and most people have no classes on Friday!) I've also been able to explore London and travel to places outside the UK. I can't recommend Verto enough :)

I want to start out by saying verto has a lot of support to offer, which I thought was amazing compared to other colleges. Although there have been some bumps in the road with housing, and food. But i understand everything has it’s ups and downs and I have to say verto’s faculty staff has handled it very well. I have made so many connections here when it comes to future colleges and opportunities. This program gives you the opportunity to travel while getting a degree.I recommend anyone to Verto, this experience has been life-changing.

As a current Verto member in London, it is amazing to be able to gain college credits while being able to live in a different country. I have been able to understand the lifestyle of a different country, while still being able to combine my lifestyle before this experience. I have been able to travel, both as a part of the Verto program and individually. At Verto, I can have a different experience than the "conventional" four-year college path. This program is recommended to people that want that different experience and love to travel.

Hello I’m Janelle and I’m currently studying abroad in Costa Rica. Verto is a great way to start your first year of college. You get to travel to a new country and immerse yourself into a new culture while also earning college credits. I am currently earning 15 college credits. The environment and people is very welcoming and helpful. The professors and staff are always available for help and questions. You also get to surround yourself around people from all parts of the world. This experience is one of a kind and I definitely recommend.

Are you thinking about studying abroad but not sure which program to choose? Stop right here and sign up for Verto Education!! Verto not only provides students a safe, cost-effective, reliable study abroad experience, it also gives students the ability to earn college credits to transfer to their University of choice! It is the perfect route for someone who wants to kickstart their transition into college life. Verto provides amazing housing, comprehensive academic curriculums, and plenty of fun excursions (paid for by the program!!!) This is an opportunity you do NOT want to miss out on. The community Verto fosters as well is incredible. There is an amazing sense of comradery, respect, and compassion created within the students, professors, and staff. Speaking as a current student in Florence, Italy, this is a once in a lifetime experience. I cannot imagine not choosing to attend Verto for my first semester of college!

I’ve been with verto for a month now and here is experience so far! Overall I’ve had a great experience, from the professors to our ALC and SLC they are all here to see you succeed. Housing is a little hectic, but staff is trying to work on that right now. Food is good for the first 2 weeks but does get repetitive, but there is a cafe on the campus and food can be delivered as well. Safety wasn’t really talked about for the first week, but as time has gone on it’s has been talked about. We also had an Panama excursion and that was very fun and educational! Only thing I feel the staff need to work on it communication, I feel a lot of the time no one is on the same page. But again you make your own happiness and I promise you it’s amazing here!

Verto Education was the best decision I’ve ever made! It is such a welcoming, engaging community and I could not have chose a better program to study abroad with. The area of housing is in a very safe area and all of the housing accommodations Verto offers makes living in London even easier. All of the staff is so helpful and caring towards their students and makes sure everyone is getting their needs met, mentally and academically. I’m so grateful I chose Verto because they were the best community and environment to be in and they are so amazing to their students, my student abroad experience was easy, fun, and everything I hoped for and more.

This semester in Sevilla has been exceptional. My teachers are not only knowledgeable in their fields, but are genuine and amazing human beings. They have made taking in the sights and history of this city so much easier and have found their own ways to tie it back to what we learn in class. I think the greatest example of this is the way that my current English teacher encourages us to go out into new environments throughout the city during class to fully imerse ourselves in Sevillan culture. An overall amazing learning journey.
