Heather's Perspective

'Studying abroad in England and at the University of Sussex has definitely been an exciting experience. Being abroad has given me the chance to experience different cultures and different academic systems. Sussex is a great university because it has similarities to the US, so you feel a little more content with being abroad. Travelling and studying abroad has been the best experience of my life.' Heather Conniff, from the University of California, USA
