GW England

GW England is designed to immerse students in life at a UK university. Students live in residence halls integrated with local or international students, study alongside British students, and have every opportunity to participate fully in the day-to-day activities of a typical college student in England. The participating host institutions have been chosen by GW faculty as partners for GW England, ensuring participants will find first-rate academic life, excellent facilities, and convenient accommodations.

In addition, GW England provides orientation and cultural activities and excursions run by GW staff specifically for GW England students.  Thus, the program is a great balance of experiencing a new life in England and the familiarity of a GW community.
