Semester at Wroxton College - An American Campus in England

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
