From the beginning stages of the application process to being guided on an excursion to Scotland, the CIS Abroad team was supportive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Phone calls with my program enrollment coordinator always answered my questions!

CIS Abroad was amazing in the application process, and went above and beyond while I was overseas. There were excursions included in the tuition, and my program cohort became like a family.

Studying abroad in London has been an experience I will never forget. Living in a new country is something I think everyone should experience in their life. I've made so many new life long friendships I never would have unless I came here. I've also grown so much as a person and become more independent. The CIS team has been so supportive during the whole process. From applying to my program to arriving on campus in London. My site directors have been so helpful and supportive answering any questions I have. The social program activities were amazing and helped me see a different side of London than I would have without it. I will never forget this experience; it really has changed me for the better.

I’ve always wanted to study abroad, even though I was initially very nervous since I had never been over seas before. But even my imagination could never have dreamed of the amazing things I got to see and experience while abroad. I didn’t get to just see all these new places but studying abroad allowed me to have the time to fully submerge myself into so many different cultures. I’ll never forget my time over here and I will forever be grateful I was able to experience studying abroad!

Mary Claire Vaughan

Studying abroad gave me a different perspective. I felt like all I cared about before I went was problems with me, my family, and my friends. Now, after being abroad, I realize there are so many bigger things to focus on. It also gave me the desire to travel more.

Alexis Heckman

One of my favorite excursions was the hike to Leigh on Sea. The area was absolutely beautiful and provided such a contrast to the busy city of London.

Hadley Browder

I participated in excursions put together by the University of Roehampton, as well as those put together by CIS Abroad. Going with a group of people you know, not having to plan it, and getting to visit amazing places was well worth it!

Ashlyn Lemmen

I will forever be grateful for this experience and encourage anyone who is thinking of studying abroad to take the leap. If you are not sure, begin by looking into CIS Abroad Summer in London at Roehampton :)

Roehampton is dedicated to providing the best academic, cultural, and social opportunities imaginable. Renowned for its Performing Arts and Biological Anthropology departments, the University of Roehampton offers a wide range of classes for students in the liberal arts.

Roehampton's four colleges (did someone say Harry Potter?) and its central student union offer a strong sense of community. Since most students (and all study abroad students) live on campus, you'll quickly feel at home, make friends, and start enjoying the many campus activities. With students from over 80 countries, Roehampton offers exceptional support to its international students. Advisors can guide you on everything from course registration to fun excursions. Founded as a University in 1975, but with historic, academic roots going back to 1841, Roehampton has an incredible reputation. It has been ranked as the best modern university in London according to three sources: the Complete University Guide, the Sunday Times Good University Guide, and the Guardian University Guide. Roehampton is a research-intensive, modern university on a beautiful and historical campus in London.
