Wroxton was one of the best experiences of my life!

As someone who had never been abroad before, getting this chance was delightfully eye-opening. The living conditions at Wroxton were wonderful: safe, comfortable, and accessible. The selection of trips were diverse and transportation was also made easy and comfortable. It was especially terrific to have the monthly trips to Edinburgh and Paris, and then travel break to go wherever you want (with you handling all the arrangements, expenses, etc.). I feel extremely blessed to have experienced all that I did.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Not so much surprising, but I was amazed by the fact that I got to stand in front of the Eiffel Tower! It was an unforgettable spectacle I will always cherish.
Pros
  • I loved the staff; they were the first aspect of the program I missed after leaving
  • The travel both in and out of England
  • The Wroxton village; a safe, quiet, beautiful place to live.
Cons
  • Prepare yourself for a rigorous courseload; it's what you're there for in the end
  • Try to get along best you can with your classmates
  • Prepare yourself for possible small bugs in the dorm rooms as well as the heat

Amazing Experience At Wroxton

I honestly had the best time over at Wroxton, though, due to my learning disabilities, I found it difficult to complete class work. But overall, I've gotten to learn so many new things and see places I’ve never thought I would. Such as learning the culture through wine and art. Not only that, but it also helped me write my books through Andrew's help in the creative writing Classes.

Wroxton deserves a 10/10!

If anyone gets the opportunity to go, I would recommend taking advantage of all the trips they can.

What was your funniest moment?
When on a windy day, the bus stopped working, but my friends and I spend the time making TikTok and still having a wonderful time.
Pros
  • Staffs
  • Transportation and Accommodations
  • All the trips!
Cons
  • Homework overload

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

My spring semester at Wroxton College was a truly transformative experience- you'll never find anything else quite like it. Classes were interesting and academically challenging, the faculty were courteous and helpful, and there were plenty of opportunities to travel across the United Kingdom and abroad, from London, to Edinburgh, and even Paris. The campus is a gorgeous and tranquil setting, especially in spring. In addition to learning about British history, society, and politics, I also learned good time management and improved my writing skills thanks to the school's Oxford-inspired educational model. I feel more self-confident, organized, and knowledgeable having spent time at Wroxton; the experience there offers opportunities for both academic and personal growth.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you do go (which I hope you will), be sure to get to know your classmates and become friends with at least some of them. As I've discovered, traveling with friends is always more fun than traveling alone. They also make studying for classes and exams all the easier.

Great Experience

Living in a 17th century building for a couple of months was really cool! The courses and weekend trips added to my overall enjoyment of the semester. I especially enjoyed the British Art History course, learning about British artists while studying in England was like something out of a movie. The teaching style is unlike anything I’ve ever come across. I didn’t have quizzes or tests periodically during the semester, but rather essays and final exams that determined my grades. That can come off as terrifying, but studying and prepping for your essays in advance is a big help. I signed up for almost all the trips and still had time to write my essays and study. I ended the semester with good grades because I kept reminding myself to focus on my studies while also enjoying the trips. The staff is very welcoming and show support for the students. Traveling when young is such a privilege, especially in college. I recommend it to anyone who is able to, there’s truly nothing like it.

Spring Semester at Wroxton

Wroxton is the perfect place to study abroad because of the beautiful location, planned trips, and supportive staff. Although the initial move feels daunting, you are quickly welcomed by helpful and friendly people. The professors and other staff are very welcoming and make the transition smooth. The weekend trips are very organized, either providing day trips to places around England or the long weekend trips to France and Scotland. It's an amazing opportunity, and I recommend it to students who want to study abroad.

Would recommend

If you're going to FDU, you must study abroad at Wroxton. It's the best experience I've had in my life. Studying abroad at Wroxton College with FDU was an unforgettable experience. Living in the English countryside, the setting was both peaceful and inspiring. The program offered an authentically British education, with engaging professors who brought their subjects to life, often incorporating the rich history of the UK into the curriculum. Living in a historic mansion added to the charm, creating a truly immersive environment. I made great friends, traveled to incredible places, and gained a deeper appreciation for British culture. From afternoon tea to trips to Oxford and London, every week brought new adventures. Wroxton isn't just a semester abroad, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn, grow, and connect in a unique and enriching way. Highly recommended!

Wish I could do it all over again!

Not only did I attended Wroxton in the early 1990's, my daughter also attended in 2023! It was one of the best decissions we've ever made. The program provides an impressive variety of classes-all of which are immersive and educational. The professors are all top notch and really make it easy to get the most out of your education.Class schedules change weekly to provide time for trips and guest speakers. The program also includes several amazing trips to places like London, Paris, and Scotland. Both of my childern have also participated in different study abroad programs provided by their Universities and they honestly didn't compare to the experiences provided by Wroxton. The other programs did not provide the same quality of education or planned experiences. With the other programs, they were merely tourists studying abroad and were not provided with the amazing experiences that Wroxton offers. Living and studying in the Abbey is far superior to staying in an isolated hotel room. I really enjoyed my time at Wroxton and would highly reccommend it to anyone considering overseas travel. You will not find a better program.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take a Shakespere class and attend the plays by the Royal Shakespere Company. You will never regret it.
Pros
  • Planned travel with the group
  • Great class offerings
  • Time for individual travel

Spring of 1990

I turned 23 during the spring semester of 1990. Picked up some friends that I still have. Shocked that 35 years have passed. I will return at some point perhaps after Nicholas Baldwin retires as I'd like to meet the next caretakers of this wonderful property.

Every American student should allow themselves to take a semester overseas. The UK makes it easy as there is no language barrier.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Using their front-loading washing machines.
Pros
  • Location (picture perfect)
  • Accommodations
  • Food
Cons
  • Sometimes faculty forget Americans revolted from the England and we are not subjects
  • Distance to London
  • Drafty
