Semester at Wroxton College - An American Campus in England

Wroxton college is the best program out there. You not only get a great academic opportunity but trips are amazing. And most are included in tuition! Books, room and board is included also! You get a lot more for your money at Wroxton than in the USA. You get to stay in a very historic old Abbey. Staff was amazing and made sure you didn’t feel too homesick. Everyone deserves an opportunity to experience this program. I made life long friends and learned more about myself in 4 months than I ever did.

Spending a semester at Wroxton College was one of the best experiences of my life. I made lifelong friends, was taught be some of the most excellent and dedicated professors in England in a variety of subjects, and travelled to some of the most amazing European sites for much less money and with so much more ease than if I had been planning it all myself. The Abbey is a magnificent feat of architecture, whose history is invaluable. The academics were challenging and trips heaps of fun. I saw the Eiffel Tower, Edinburgh Castle, Stonehenge, Big Ben, and countless art museums and plays within a span of a few months. The village of Wroxton is charming and picturesque, a place I have difficulty describing to others. The team at Wroxton, from Dean Baldwin all the way to the ladies at reception, all care so deeply about the students and helping them to have a positive experience there. Without the skills I learned at Wroxton, travelling about on my own and with a group, I never would have had the confidence to move to New York City for two years for graduate school. I am endlessly grateful for my Wroxton experience.

Wroxton College was one of the best experiences of my life and I was only there for a short two months or so before getting sent home early due to COVID. Wroxton becomes like a second home to you and the class you are with becomes like your family. The staff is so welcoming and is truly always there to support you and help you move towards your goals. The opportunities you get here are like no other and it is honestly amazing. You get to live out your dreams here and travel the world. It is truly something special and I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world.

My experience was cut short due to COVID-19. Even so, it was the best thing I ever did. I visited places I always wanted to and places I had never heard of. Those ones were usually the best. The professors went out of their way to get to know us and to make us feel at home. Everyone I met was so nice. At Shakespeare’s birthplace an employee knew every township in NJ and knew the areas we were from. People in the town nearby would stop and talk to us if we were walking around. A lot of store owners liked to ask us questions. I also made a lot of friends I wouldn’t have made otherwise. It’s a truly special experience.

Wroxton is without a doubt the best part of FDU. A semester abroad is not only accessible (as scholarships and aid transfer over as well as textbooks gifted to help offset the cost), but you are exposed to a multitude of cultural experiences. Every weekend the school takes you somewhere new- as part of tuition. I got to see not only England in all of its intricacies and details, but also Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy. Especially as a theatre major the experience is invaluable, as I saw over 15 plays in my time there. Overall Wroxton holds my most cherished memories and my college experience would have been sorely lacking had I not had the opportunity to travel and study in this beautiful place

Without my semester at Wroxton College, I don’t believe I would be the same person I am today without it. This experience was truly one of a lifetime and has forged memories, friendships, and learning that I will never forget. I chose to attend FDU because of their study abroad program at Wroxton and the staff there taught me more than I could have ever imagined. The opportunity to travel with the staff as well was very beneficial and made me feel safe and secure. My family also had the opportunity to visit and enjoyed every second of it. My hope is that this program and tradition continues for students in the future so that they can too grow and become more well rounded and experience different cultures outside of America.

Wroxton College is like no other program I’ve ever experienced! I’ve never been more challenged, more prepared and more committed to education than my time across the pond. I firmly believe that Wroxton changed me for the better - opened my eyes to so many different people and the chance at opportunities that I would’ve never had, had I not attended. The staff was marvelous there and I couldn’t think of a better semester of college. The only downfall was that I couldn’t be there for a full year!

My one semester at Wroxton has been one of (if not the most) prominent memory in my academic journey. I hope it remains the same to future students, especially those that have never been abroad, away from their comfort zones in their lives. I miss every single person there, every lesson, every tutorial, every meal, and of course every tea time! It is a full package British experience that I doubt being offered in a similar manner elsewhere. It makes me smile every now and then whenever I recall what I referred to as ‘the best spring in my life.’
