Studying Abroad at Richmond

I can honestly say that my time at Richmond was the most interesting, rewarding, and fun time I had as an undergraduate. Being able to not only visit, but live and learn in another country was the most valuable experience I could have hoped to have.

The classes were not only interesting, but very hands on. My history and art classes met in the classroom once a week, and once a week we went on field trips around the city - visiting museums and other historic sites.

The staff were all very helpful, and offered tons of inside advice on everything from where to go grocery shopping to where the best places to eat were. There were also trips and other activities planned and chaperoned by the staff. I was lucky enough to be able to see "Love Never Dies," the sequel to "The Phantom of the Opera," on a school based trip which got us awesome tickets at a discount!

While you do have classes all week, you're still left with plenty of time to explore the city and travel throughout Europe. The Underground is very easy to navigate and very close by, but it's also nice to take the time and walk around the city. Richmond is located in a very safe area, and I had no problems walking around by myself.

I could honestly go on for days about how wonderful my experience was, but when push comes to shove, the best way to find out about the program at Richmond is to experience it for yourself!
