My Experience Studying Abroad

For my semester abroad, I wanted to find a location that was English speaking but wasn’t a super populated city, and I found Brighton! This was absolutely the perfect fit for me, I get all the positives of the city, countryside, and nightlife that I could possibly want. Our program staff were incredibly helpful at helping us with the culture shift, and made it feel like we had family here if we needed it. The inclusion of field trips also allowed for friendships to easily blossom and I now have super close friends that I am dreading leaving. The only thing that I wish was different was our accommodation location. The Falmer campus is quite far from the coast, which makes traveling to go to the beach, stores, or classes more time consuming and decreases the likelihood of me going out. I would rather pay more to live closer to the action then feel farther away. Besides the living situation, I only have positive things to say about this program!
