Comments from former London FYE students

Going on London FYE was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was able to use the city as a resource in all of my classrooms, going on almost a field trip a week, and explore numerous galleries and museums while forming meaningful friendships with my peers. The connections shaped in London made the return to campus feel welcoming and like I had found a home in Skidmore.

The best part of the London FYE Program was the ability to use London as a classroom! Exploring the city and Europe with an amazing group of friends was an amazing experience that also broadened my worldview.

It is hard to put into words how much I gained from and how much I matured during my London First Year Experience that can truly convey its value. Not only was I able to fulfill a majority of my All-College Requirements for Skidmore, but I was also able to use the city of London itself as a classroom, thereby creating an immersive learning environment and a huge appreciation for the city. The ease of international travel, the invaluable friendships that one makes, and the unforgettable memories and experiences gained are all aspects of the London FYE that help to shape young minds into global academics.
