Across the Pond was absolutely amazing at helping me get to the UK for my Post Grad program. My advisor was fantastic and helped me choose schools, submit my applications, and provided information on getting my student visa. She was always available to answer my questions and responded to my many emails quite fast.

I chose Bangor University in Northern Wales because it reminded me the most of home. The mountains, the oceans, sometimes the landscape looks like B.C.! It's a smaller town and it's the perfect fit for me. I can't say enough good things about this company!

I truly enjoyed being at the University of Brighton and loved both the academic and social aspects. From trips to the beach, the annual Pharmacy Ball, and opportunities for further study in special interests, Brighton has a lot to offer for everyone.

I chose to study at Aberystwyth specifically because it is the origin of the field of International Relations and maintains this reputation as the leading department of its kind. The department truly has some of the best scholars in their field and it is an amazing experience working with them, I have had the opportunity to learn from and talk to academics I have admired for some time. Not only do we have the ability to learn within the classroom setting but we are exposed to a wide variety of conferences and conventions that allow us to showcase our own work.

Aberystwyth as a University is very welcoming and easy to get around. There are various programs and services available to fulfill the needs of its students; including fitness facilities, cafes, libraries and study spaces.

Aberystwyth is a quant and picturesque town, it is small, safe and you always meet someone you know around town. The surrounding landscape is beautiful and allows for amazing lesisure activities on days off. I would absolutely recommend studying at Aberystwyth to anyone as I have had an amazing year thus far. I have met amazing friends from all over the world and have gained an experience unlike any other. Aberystwyth has far exceeded my expectations and it will be a sad day when I have to leave.

Coming to the UK has been one of the best decisions I have made. I love it here and will find it hard to go back home. When I first arrived it was daunting, and a little scary, but it quickly became a second home. My first day in York I ended up going out with my housemates to a freshers event and since that day we have become such a close knit group of friends (from several different countries) that I feel so secure in whatever problems might come my way. I would say the only downside of living in the UK is that the cost of living is higher than back home and a little more than I expected. However, if you keep your eye open and find out different options, it’s not too hard to live decently on a decent amount of money.

University of York has a beautiful campus and being in archaeology I get to have classes in a building once used in Tudor times. The history of the York is so amazing, from the Roman walls to the Minster and the Georgian housing, I'm amazed every time I walk through town. Hence a great place to study archaeology. My classes are much more specific than they would be back home, but I think that allows you to focus on what is especially interesting to you. The professors are so welcoming and you can tell that they are invested in your work as well and are always willing to help and just provide even further avenues of knowledge. It was weird at first calling professors by their first names, but it does help to establish a closer connection that facilitates a greater understanding.

I want to thank Across the Pond for making it a lot easier to make all of this possible. My advisor was extremely helpful in the application process and it was great to have guidelines and advice to prepare me for life in the UK. I even asked for assistance with an issue months after arrival and it was helpfully answered. I would definitely recommend Across the Pond to anyone wishing to travel to the UK for school.

Ever since I could remember I have always wanted to travel to England so I thought I would take the opportunity to study here. I chose Worcester because I wanted the traditional English vibe from the city. Being an international student here is an unbelievable experience. The university provided an international week allowing you to get to know other students, settle in and explore the city. I have even joined one of their societies, the Christian Union. It is a good opportunity to meet lots of new people.

Living here has also made me very independent, having to buy groceries, do my own laundry and work out my financial budget. The accommodation is very spacious, modern, safe and gave me just a 5 minute walk to class.

I really enjoy the modules I am studying on my exchange. Every module is very hands on and will help me towards my next step in my career. The class sizes are small which means you get to know your fellow students but also your tutors know you by names and sincerely care about how you are doing. Studying these modules has given me the chance to gain some great connections of people that work in the industry who are happy for me to contact them even when I return home if I have any questions.

There are great facilities too, as I was part of the journalism and creative digital media courses I was allowed access to their radio studio, television studio and Apple Mac suite. I have enjoyed Worcester so much and would advise anyone to take the opportunity to study here if they have the chance.
