I learned yesterday that Penn State isn’t offering any spots to Leeds students next year, and apparently the only students able to come to Leeds from PSU are AE now. To say I find this incredibly absurd would be an understatement. I’m disappointed in the PSU study abroad team that they did not advocate Leeds more. So many students go to London, which is incredibly expensive, and Leeds is only a couple hours away by train and bus. Leeds is also a big, but student friendly, city. I just don’t understand why PSU hasn’t been advocating Leeds more strongly. Not to mention, the Leeds students I met who came to PSU last year had the time of their lives and are equally as disappointed that no one else can go. But I guess I have no control over any of it so I will just frown and carry on.

I am happy to let you know that the University of Leeds exchange is not ending!
In recent years, a large number of Leeds students have studied at Penn State. Unfortunately, there have not been nearly as many Penn State students who have studied at Leeds. As is the nature of an exchange, we must keep the numbers of students that we send and the number of students we receive relatively close. Because we have become out of balance, we are not able to accept any new Leeds students to Penn State this year. We are continuing to send students like you to Leeds. In fact, we need more Penn State students to study at Leeds in order to bring the program back into balance.
We are thrilled to hear that you are having such a great experience abroad. We hope that you might be able to be an ambassador to the program while abroad (like through your blog) and when you return to Penn State. We hope that you can share your positive experience at Leeds so that additional Penn State students might be interested in an exchange to Leeds. We hope that the exchange can come closer to balance and might continue for many, many years to come.
