At YearsAbroad.com, we want to make it easier for you to get  hold of top-quality advice on all things 'year abroad', so that you can make  better-informed decisions that will transform your year abroad.

As British  universities rarely make their students' experiences and advice available to  those from other universities, we're trying to compile the best advice available  on every part of a year abroad experience.

Contributed by students who’ve actually done it, you can find advice on and reviews of:

     > Application processes and university administrations;
     > Accommodation offered and where's best to live.
     > The quality of teaching, pastoral care and social life at universites, language schools, internships and 
        volunteering projects abroad.
     > How to get that all-important 'value for money' out of your year abroad experience.

At YearsAbroad.com, we're trying to make it easier for students who are considering a year abroad as part of their degree to answer their questions on the realities of living, working and studying abroad.

The best way to do this is to hear from other students who have been on years abroad themselves. It’s often difficult to find out what it’s really like to live on a  foreign campus, work as an English Language assistant or as an intern abroad, so we hope that our student-submitted reviews will make your research a bit easier.

We hope that those who benefited from the advice  on this site will in turn pass on their own tips after their year of living, working and studying abroad.

So, if you have any information that you think would be useful to those about to embark on a year abroad, we’d be really grateful if you would share it with  us.

If you're interested in travel writing or journalism, and would like to become a regular contributor with your own Author's blog, get in touch! We will of course give you full credit for your published advice.

YearsAbroad.com is in contact with  many UK universities, who are a great  help. Please remember to consult their Year Abroad advice packs (or similar) for  information specific to your degree programme.
