Wroxton College End of Semester Review

Doing a semester abroad at Wroxton has been a wonderful opportunity that I am so grateful for. Initially, the big excitement around coming here is being able to travel every weekend. The school is incredibly organized and prepares transportation for every weekend trip available, and they truly take students’ desires into account. We get an incredible amount of freedom to explore on the weekend trips and it really allows you to see the world through a new lens. You can choose to sign up for certain trips or not, but there are so many trips every weekend all across the UK that absolutely every individual will find something they enjoy. Aside from the weekend trips, the time spent in the Abbey is equally as surreal. The Abbey itself is basically Hogwarts, and we are actually sorted into different teams and all compete for the “Wroxton Cup” throughout the semester (my team won, of course). The staff in and of themselves are remarkably kind and their doors are always open to help the students. They frequently send out surveys asking students to what they would like to see on the menu, how the cleaning staff are doing, etc. And then actual change occurs based on our answers. The academic community here is so incredibly supportive as well. Every single teacher I had I felt exceedingly comfortable coming to with questions or problems or assistance when I made a mistake. The teachers are so kind and really do care about each of the students. Even the dean of the college himself leaves his door open for students to come ask questions. All in all, I genuinely recommend this experience to anyone. And don’t forget to pet Pip, the cat that wanders around the grounds :)
