Student Stories

Normally, I would have spent my December holidays meeting friends or playing games. This year, I signed up for UB Winter Study Abroad London and it was one of the best choices I could have made.

I have been planning to study abroad since I was a freshman. However, it was not until my senior year when I studied abroad in London that I realized study abroad is even more meaningful and exciting than I expected.

Because my school semesters are full of courses required for my curriculum, I never expected to be able to study abroad and graduate on schedule. An exciting opportunity opened up for me when I learned that I could study abroad during a winter session.

This winter abroad program to London has definitely enriched and provided me with so many unforgettable bittersweet memories. It allowed me to have first-hand experience in living abroad as well as provided me with the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills that not only can be found inside of the classroom.

Studying abroad is an awe-inspiring experience that I can’t even begin to explain my appreciation and excitement for.

It has been a personal dream of mine to study abroad in London, England. Although the price tag was a lot more than I could afford, I did not want that to stop me from following my dreams and gaining the learning experience that a textbook couldn’t give me.
