Program Reviews

One of the highlights of my college experience was to study abroad during my Junior Year at Wroxton College in England.  Looking back at this time, the Spring of 1969, the choice to study at Wroxton was a life-changing experience that occurred during a critical point in my life.  The courses, the students, the faculty, the history were so unique and are treasured to this day. My time in England certainly has influenced me throughout my life and I am so very thankful that that I had this opportunity.  

I continue to enjoy staying involved with Wroxton and visiting the College whenever I can and returned to celebrate our 50-year reunion this past summer....a very special place indeed.

There was a war in Vietnam going on and we in the United States remained in our shell, not understanding where we stood in the world. Yes, we were defending democracy, but what did the rest of the world think? Well, living in England and traveling around Europe for a semester opened up my eyes about the fact that the US was not the only country to understand.

The School was a real experience for a young student, the education was exceptional and the traveling, both with the School and on my own.

A semester at Wroxton College is one not to miss! This opportunity helped shape my life in so many wonderful ways. From the friendships forged, many strong to this day, to an in-depth art history course that informed and inspired me to become a better artist.

Dean Baldwin and each of the talented faculty and staff members make this a truly memorable educational and cultural experience!

To this day, I support Wroxton College, attend the numerous events reunions and events stateside and share stores and memories with friends and Alumni through the years!

This was honestly the best experience of my life. I studied abroad 6 years ago and I still talk about how amazing this program was to this day. The work was hard at times but the professors were all extremely supportive and wanted you to succeed. When you're in such close quarters with your professors you really rely on them as mentors and they really do care about their students. As for the travelling experience, there is nothing like this program. Being able to go to multiple countries and cities throughout the UK is incredible. I wish I could go back and do the experience all over again!

I went to Wroxton in Spring 2016, and it honestly changed my life. Not a day goes by that I don’t mention it or talk about it. The professors are wonderful and you will work harder than you ever have but retain more information, the trips are amazing, and you’re literally living in an abbey over centuries old!

During the program, you’ll experience the British style tutorial system which really individualizes your learning experience. You also will go on weekly trips planned by the university whether it’s to London, Stonehenge, Paris, Edinburgh, and many more! You will never ever be bored and you can always go for nightlife to the bars or our favorite, Moo Moos!

Wroxton will forever be my home away from home!

Studying at Wroxton profoundly changed me. The small group tutorial classes pushed me to look at literature more deeply and to take academic scholarship more seriously. My kind and knowledeable professors inspired me to reach ever higher and achieve my true potential. And the incredibly beautiful abbey and grounds were a constant source of joy. Weekly trips around the UK and Europe added greatly to the cultural experience. If you have any opportunity to study at Wroxton I urge you to do so. It was one of the best decisions of my life!

Wroxton college was the most amazing experience of my life. The abbey is absolutely beautiful and the staff treats you like their own family. Wroxton has given me memories for the rest of my life that I will forever cherish. The schoolwork is challenging but the experience makes it well worth it. I just recently left this experience behind and I miss it more than I ever thought was possible! My Wroxton semester was the best of my life and I would recommend the experience to absolutely everyone!

I live in NY. I was raised in NJ. But I grew up at Wroxton. The experience is that transformational. The academic offerings are superior and the cultural opportunities abound. The setting couldn't be more appropriate for the opening of minds. The Abby oozes history and the grounds are meticulously kept. The tutorial system of learning is challenging but rewarding on so many levels. Studying Shakespeare and then traveling to Stratford to actually see the plays is the perfect way to experience the Bard. The curriculum and programming leave many opportunties for experiential learning. There are many options for travel-study abroad. But this location and program are unsurpassed. I attended for a traditional semester abroad but the shorter length programs are also available for the non-traditional learner. The Village of Wroxton is picture perfect with thatch-roofed homes and a duck pond. It's quintessential Cotswolds with charm and elegance.

Wroxton was the best experience of my life. Coming from a college student who had absolutely no desire to study abroad, I am so glad I pushed myself to go. I made the best friends of my life that I still talk to to this day. It was a good value since I paid the same price as I do a regular semester at my college, which included food, room, all the amazing trips and more. The trips were AMAZING and the staff are AMAZING. Academics are very challenging and it can get stressful during midterm and finals season with numerous assignments due at the same time, but I grew as a student and can now manage much more than I once thought I could. Overall, I grew as an individual and wish i could go back to this day. I HIGHLY recommend studying abroad at Wroxton.

What I love about historic Wroxton is it continues to be vibrant in its program offerings, appealing well beyond undergraduate college years. See for yourself online the many specialty British liberal arts theme short-course offerings and professional workshops. The British tutors are incredible. The outings to historic destinations, well chosen. Facilities are up-to-date without losing the feel as if you are living royalty. There’s even twice daily teatime! The Cotswold setting is authentic, peaceful and bucolic. The Wroxton Experience is a fairytale come to life. I am among many who “graduated” and then returned with my family and fell in love all over again. It is life-enriching. An experience to be shared with those you know and love. Don’t miss it.
