My semester at William and Mary has been fantastic so far; I'm in a fraternity, my classes are engaging and completely different to those at Exeter, and I've met a lot of amazing people.Adam Cuthbert, William & Mary

Since the day I arrived in Turkey, every experience has seemed to challenge my preconceptions of the country, culture and people. From the challenges in day to day life of just getting from place to place, to the nationalism that pervades every aspect of society, everything is a new experience. Most of all, I was not prepared for how much I would enjoy myself. Lucy Sheehan, Sabanci

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to come out here. I absolutely love it out here and everyone is going crazy for the English accent!Greg Church, American University

I personally learned lots of new skills from the various people I met, I learned how to live in a new environment, and I learned that the French education system is quite different from that of the British education system.Alikali Fofana, Strasbourg
