Jake – Hatfield, England

Back

In the fall of my junior year at Lawrence Tech, I had the fortune of being able to study abroad at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield, England (about 20 minutes by train from London). The University has roughly 30,000 students, so it was a completely different experience from Lawrence Tech even after negating the fact that it is in a different country. It gave me the experience of a large university, which I think was crucial for my comfort at Michigan State where I am now for graduate school. Studying abroad was one of my favorite experiences. It was so fun to meet people from all over the world and to experience how people from another culture learn and socialize. I’d highly recommend studying abroad, and if you are looking into studying abroad in the UK, I’d highly recommend the University of Hertfordshire.
