ASA was an extremely good program. The classes were great and the on-site director was over-the-top helpful. Everything ran smoothly and I felt like the staff nurtured a great off-campus experience that opened my eyes to a very multi-cultural experience.

It is hard to believe that my study abroad experience with ASA was five years ago. During college I was interested in studying in London and with in minutes of submitting an online information request to ASA, Lee Frankel, Director of ASA, called me to explain what ASA had to offer--talk about customer service! After learning about what the program to London offered, I realized that this program was by far the most all inclusive program available. In addition to this, every time I had a question or concern (which was often!) the ASA staff was always there to guide me. I spent the best few months of my college career at Regent's College. In fact, my time studying at Regent's was so influential I ended up starting a career in International Education. Being a participant on an ASA program not only provided me with a truly unique study abroad experience, it helped me shape my future in both personal and professional ways.

I went with ASA to London the summer after my freshman year of college. It was great meeting students from all over the USA and not just my college. They took care of everything from my arrival to the departure. Even before you go you are given detailed information about the site, school, traveling, etc. They help get student discounts with flights, tickets and other passes into a number of events. Along with the program day trips were included, and I had all the free time to travel and explore the city when I wanted. I took "London Theatre" and LOVED the class and teacher. The school - Regent's College- was centrally located and in the middle of a giant and beautiful park. The food and dorms were great and I would go again in a heartbeat! The staff and faculty of the school and ASA were a tremendous help and I felt safe and supported while over there.
I am about to go again with ASA to Vina del Mar, Chile- where I expect to have just as great of a time as my first trip!
