- The experience of a lifetime02/13/17
I really enjoyed my time in the UK, and I am so grateful I was able to go. The people at Greenheart Travel and Study Abroad UK were all wonderfully helpful, and really seem to love what they do. I was paired with a fantastic family, made some close friends,
and I found it really hard to leave- just as hard as it was to leave America. For this reason, I know I had an experience of a lifetime.

My experience studying abroad in England at Itchen has been amazing. I have absolutely loved it here. My host family was very welcoming and helped me with anything I needed. I have made some of my best friends here, and I’ve loved making so many international
and British friends . The teaching is amazing and challenging, the photography program is very difficult but very fun, and the creative writing course is so engaging that I love it. I’ve learned so much about different cultures and how to be independent and confident.
