Jan in London -

The accommodation is A1, the staff are A1, the support is A1, and the academics = A1. Well done Roehampton! I could not recommend the Jan in London program more highly. Its a wonderful partnership between CISaustralia and Roehampton. Spend part of your summer in London studying at the top-ranked ‘best modern university in London’. 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.

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

GREAT Study Abroad Experience! Once in a lifetime opportunity

I signed up for the social program and I'm so glad I did because I got to experience destinations in London that I never would have had the opportunity to if I were to travel alone. I took the Gods & Heroes of Classical Mythology class and I loved it/learned a lot. I liked the length of the summer program, session 1, I thought it was the perfect length for those who may be easily homesick or just want the experience, especially for those who may not necessarily want to live here for an entire semester.

I appreciated the support of the study abroad team and the study abroad intern for leading us to destinations and giving up insider information when we needed it. Although the mattress and the bedding weren't the best (springs digging into you, pillow not supportive, etc), these are easily aided with bringing your own mattress pad/blanket/pillow for a better sleep or purchasing them here.

Food is not provided in this program but taking the 265 bus towards Tolworth, you have easy access to a grocery store/Walmart type store called ASDA which sells everything you could possibly need during your stay here, VERY reasonably priced as well, genuinely great prices. There is also a convenience store called Londis just up the street from campus, maybe a 5 minute walk, where you can get food to get you started the first few days here on campus and you can also purchase your Oyster card there if you didn't pre-purchase it online. The card itself costs 5 pounds, and then whatever money you put onto it is available for transport.

I would recommend purchasing a Travelex card prior to arriving so you have local currency, but keep in mind the conversion rate is painful. Keep in mind if you purchase it in the US you cannot put British Pounds onto your card, such as using notes to add money to your card in England; only American dollars can be added, and you have to add a minimum of $50 American dollars each time you want to transfer money to your Travalex card on the app from your American bank account.

Something exciting that I did during my stay was vlogging my day-to-day experience, which helped me get out of my comfort zone as well as document my experience/allow me to share it with my loved ones and the Youtube community so they could live through me. Now I can rewatch my experience whenever I want & relive the moments forever! Follow my instagram to find the link for my videos in my bio and to learn more about the program! @goddessofthegalaxy

I wish that the beds were more comfortable, but I realize that is out of control of the program.

Sarah’s review

I love the campus and what it offers! The course I took- the psychology of murder was okay. It could be a lot more engaging and challenging but the professors were fun and knowledgable. The transportation offered near campus was great! And the shops on campus were nice too- especially the hive. I wish the bar was open though. Laundry services were perfect and the free ones were so convenient. The accommodations in Southlands college was exactly what I was expecting. Good space. The kitchen set we received was also very helpful. I wish I had space in my suitcase to take it home! I ate lunch at the Base every often and the staff was amazing and did a great job at making me feel at home. Afternoon tea with them on Sundays was also Awesome. I overall had a great experience and felt very safe.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep an open mind and be willing to try new things you usually wouldn’t. Also pack medications of all kinds because the air and environment is so different.

Study at Roehampton

I took the psychology of murder course at Roehampton and learned so much. Roehampton is in zone three of London so you will need to utilize public transportation, I would get an oyster card. I loved the campus it's so beautiful and full of cute animals like ducks and there are campus cats and bunnies you can pet. It's a quiet and safe neighborhood so it's not the hustle and bustle of central London but you are still pretty close. Overall just do it and commit to studying in London I don't regret it I truly appreciate my experience and learned so much!!! If you are concerned about anything there's always someone to talk to or contact and they respond very quickly. There is 24-hour campus security and they're awesome. And there is a tube station very close and tons of bus stops to get you wherever you need to go.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't be afraid to try new places and you are probably going to get a little lost even with a gps but that's ok. Just go with the flow and enjoy your time here. There's so much to do you may not be able to do all of it but make a list of must see or do and any extra time you have can be doing other fun things like going to the theater.

Very good integrated

Striking about the program at the University of Roehampton is, that the study abroad students live together with english students and international students which are at Roehampton for the whole three years of their degree. So the study abroad students and Erasmus students are not kept separate. This is the best possible way to learn the language and get to know new people from a various range of different countries. At the same time, the Study Abroad Team still host events for study abroad students only.

What would you improve about this program?
some of the lectures take very long to correct the papers, so that most of the students are not here anymore, when they find out if passed or not. This could be very difficult if someone is failing a course and has to re do it.

Best Decision I Ever Made!

Choosing to come to this university has been the best choice I could have made when I decided to study abroad. Since the minute I arrived I've been welcomed by many of the students and faculty members here and have continued to be helped by them in my time here. There has been no absence of kindness and assitance that I have received while at Roehampton whether it be in modules or with my flat. This program has given me experiences that I'll make use of for the rest of my life and I will always recommend this University for I feel that it offers the most for any study abroad student interested in having the time of their life.

What would you improve about this program?
Perhaps by letting the student know that food will not be provided upon arrival? Just to let them know.

Roehampton abroad

Studying at the Roehampton university has been great experience. The university was very accommodating to international students in and outside of the classroom. I enjoyed the classes very much they were interesting and the professor were very helpful. The location of the camp is also great. It is about 30min on the tube to central London locations and is very accessible to get around. The on campus events were also interesting and there were a lot of activities.The campus is beautiful and it was the best decision that I've made.

What would you improve about this program?
Great program maybe more ways to get international students involved on campus
