Testimonials

As Americans, applying to universities in the UK was a bit complicated. After some initial research, we knew we needed extra help to get through the application stage!

Expat Student was the best investment we could make for our student. Their process is rigorous and thoughtful. They take the time to understand your student, their interests and the university experience they want. During the application phase, they truly guided my student and supported them throughout the entire process. Expat Student knows the application process inside out. Americans tend to expect a level of customer service that isn't really present in the UK. Having someone who knows the process and where to get answers is invaluable.

My student received 5 offers from 5 schools. Expat continued to be an excellent source of information and support to help us manage accommodation, enrolment and other queries. British universities have limited customer service and, believe me, having Expat Student as a resource saves us a lot of stress!

Louise was absolutely incredible. We had arrived in Europe from the United States the previous year and had no idea which universities were accessible to our child, which degree or university would suit him best, and how to apply. It is so different in Europe. She met with him frequently to discuss all the options and kept him focused on preparing all the elements of the application dossier. I really cannot imagine how we would have managed this without her. He secured a place at his first choice; it was the best investment we could have made.

Expat Student supported me right from the start, first with my undergraduate applications, and now for my master's. I am extremely grateful to them for their support over the years. A special thank you to Louise and Tania for their invaluable help, responsiveness, and advice at every step.

Throughout my third year of my biosciences bachelor's degree, I benefited, and continue to benefit, from Louise's help with my master's application and admission. I was accepted onto the programme, and I owe it to her! Her support, both in aiming for excellence in my application and in looking after my well-being throughout the process, is exceptional. I am extremely grateful to her for her patience, kindness and expertise in the field, which makes a successful application possible. My experience has taught me that Louise knows perfectly how to put together an original and personalised application for a specific course. By pushing me to analyse my reasons for applying, my passion for the field and my professional goals, we were able to write a cover letter demonstrating that I was a perfect match for the courses at the universities I applied to. This enabled me to apply for the right course, at a university where I feel ready to thrive, which is particularly important for a master's, where you choose an increasingly specialised course, with professors whose research you read. Tania also helped me to draft my CV and publish my posts on LinkedIn, which I really appreciated! I also received help with filling out my applications and getting my visa, and I now have a better understanding of what is expected of master's applicants!

Louise and Tania were our saviour angels as expats. My son’s international school had no career guidance stream and had no idea about the application procedures for British and European universities.

They helped him identify and choose the best options for aerospace engineering, provided him with advice on application forms, cover letters, interviews, extracurricular programmes and entrance exams, notably Cambridge, Imperial and Delft.

He received several offers from the UK and the Netherlands and is leaving for Delft (his first choice). They also helped him find accommodation (a real nightmare in the Netherlands).

For me, as a parent, one of the most important aspects was not having to nag or stress about application forms or deadlines: Louise and her team took care of everything, constantly reminding him of every step and what he needed to do.
Priceless!

Louise was wonderful in her advice to Alexandre. She was available when needed and extremely flexible. I highly recommend her; she will help your children (and their parents) make the right decisions and will greatly simplify their lives. Thank you again so much, Louise.

When I started looking for universities, I really didn't know where to begin and felt completely lost. Expat Student, and especially Tania, guided me through every step and made everything clear. She was incredibly kind and patient, always helping me sort through the different options until I found the course that suited me. The whole process, which seemed overwhelming at first, became much easier thanks to their support, and I am extremely grateful to them for helping me secure a place at my dream university, on my dream course.

Louise and Tania were wonderful. Thanks to their advice, I was able to find Master's programmes that suited me perfectly. Tania provided me with useful feedback on my applications, helped me put together a schedule that relieved me of the stress related to applying and was always available when needed. From searching for Master's programmes to helping me get my visa, I highly recommend this service.

My daughter Poppy worked with Tania from Expat Student and I was delighted with both the process and the result. From start to finish, Tania worked diligently with Poppy, first to help her figure out which country she wanted to study in (the UK, we live in Spain), then they carefully looked into courses that matched her skills and abilities, and finally the university itself. In the end, Poppy secured a place at Exeter for a joint honours degree, which turned out to be perfect in every way. I cannot thank the Expat Student team enough for everything they did. We could never have got to this point without you. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone in a similar situation!

Thanks to Tania and Louise who helped me over the past two years to apply to various universities in many countries. They supported me even when I didn't meet my conditions and were a huge help to me.

I thoroughly recommend Expat Student to all students planning to study abroad.
Louise is attentive, responsive and gives very good advice. She helped my son choose the most suitable universities based on his profile and his project. She helped him put together his application, and he was coached and prepared for the various oral interviews. Louise's thorough knowledge of international admission procedures is a valuable asset. Result: several admissions to very good universities. And for us parents, what comfort and peace of mind to be able to rely on her.
A huge thank you to Louise for her dedication!

Louise was recommended to us by friends. We enlisted her help to support our daughter, who wants to study veterinary medicine abroad. Always available, she was exceptionally professional throughout the preparation process. From the initial meetings in Year 12, where Louise perfectly targeted the universities that matched our daughter's wishes, right through to enrolment in the school of her choice, Louise and her Expat Student team prepared our daughter brilliantly and supported her throughout the entire process with great efficiency and a great deal of kindness. She knows the university system and the schools' selection criteria inside out, and knows how to meet the expectations of the young people who turn to her!
We strongly recommend Expat Student!!

I met Expat Student at an L’Etudiant fair when I was in Year 11 [seconde], knowing that I wanted to study abroad. At the start of Year 13 [terminale], Louise and I began working together by first defining the different programmes and then the schools that suited me. After that, we both worked hard independently to perfect my applications. Louise supported and reassured me a great deal throughout the process, helping me to picture myself at each school.
A massive thank you to Expat Student for helping me get into the ESADE BBA!

We used Louise from Expat Student to support our daughter's project to study abroad after her A-levels.
I've heard about Louise & Expat Student several times on a Facebook group for parents whose children are studying abroad.
After almost a year of working together, we are truly delighted to have called upon her.
Initially, Louise was able to present the different countries that it was possible to consider. She listened carefully to our daughter's wishes as well as the concerns and limitations of us, her parents.
She reviewed our daughter's file and encouraged her to “aim higher” than what we had envisaged.
The greater part of the support was regular video coaching with our daughter, to help her prepare the applications, exams and interviews for the various universities. As a result, our daughter was accepted into her number one choice, a university we would not have dared apply to before our discussions with Louise.
Therefore, we are delighted with this support and warmly recommend Expat Student for any study abroad project.

Louise was a great help to us in enrolling our daughter in a veterinary school. We wanted to have peace of mind during the admission procedure and so we let Louise handle it. Her guidance and support were of a very high standard.

A big thank you! Our daughter is starting at CEU in Valencia in veterinary school in September 2025!!

Exemplary support for our daughter Juliette!
We would like to warmly thank Louise and, more generally, Expat Student for their professionalism, attentiveness and the high quality of their support throughout Juliette's journey. From the very first contact, the team proved to be available, reassuring and extremely competent. Every stage was handled with care and kindness, from choosing destinations to administrative procedures, as well as the personalised support that Juliette received.
Thanks to Expat student and especially Louise Fernet, she was able to approach this experience abroad with confidence and peace of mind. As parents, it is a real relief to be able to rely on such dedicated professionals.

We strongly recommend Expat Student to all families who want to give their children a successful and supervised international experience.
Well done to the whole team for this high-quality and professional work!

Many thanks to Expat Student. We started a bit late, but the support from Louise and her team enabled my son to get through all the steps to bring his project to fruition.
Motivation, guidance, unexpected events – my son was able to count on the team (and the parents too 🫡) at all times.
To top it all off, having received everything BEFORE the Parcoursup offers… I have nothing against Parcoursup, but I felt like I had a better grip on my son's choices with Expat Student.

I highly recommend the services of Expat Student, who were able to support me with my UCAS applications, as well as those for international universities like Bocconi and in the United States.
Their support is reliable, of high quality, they do not hesitate to provide extra help and they are very understanding.
A good service to ensure success in university admissions.

The career guidance was absolutely brilliant! I was at a loss about my future choices, but thanks to the personalised advice, I can see things much more clearly now. They helped me get to know myself better, explore different paths, and develop a plan that suits me. In particular, Louise F., who’s a great listener and always available. I’d 100 per cent recommend % to anyone looking to find their path!

Expat student guided us step by step with university applications for two countries: the Netherlands and Canada. Good, regular follow-up with my daughter one-to-one and with me for feedback and deadlines not to be missed in each country's process. Contact via video call, email or even telephone. Proofreading of application letters, advice, answers to our questions, dates and research for open days and important webinars.
Good stay, pleasant and reassuring, I recommend.

Availability, flexibility, expertise, responsiveness, knowledge of the specifics of each school, and targeting applications to match our children's expectations—they were successfully supported by Expat Student and by Louise, I recommend them!

We chose support from Expat Student for two main reasons: our initial contacts with Louise and her team, which were immediately very professional and reassuring, and also the complementarity of their two profiles, combining a very good knowledge of universities across the Channel, their expectations, the UCAS procedure, and the options available to young people in France as well, in order to put things into perspective.

Expat Student gave me a much clearer vision of the different universities in the UK, and helped me find the one I would most like to attend. They were able to answer all my questions and helped me a great deal with writing my personal statement. They really have an in-depth knowledge of how higher education works in the UK!

My daughter has received three offers for veterinary courses. We thank you for all the invaluable help you gave her during these months of application.

Expat Student helped us build a tailor-made application for our son, making the most of his potential. <br/>Thank you very much for this quality support and expertise at every stage of the UCAS application process.

As I am about to leave for London, I wanted to thank you for all your help with this project. Everything is now in place to start the new school year with confidence.

Both of my children applied to the UK and the help and support I received from Expat Student was essential. I believe that the demands of universities should not be underestimated and Louise's knowledge of the British university system is crucial. I really appreciated her experience and knowledge, but also the fact that she remained calm and in control of the situation.

Louise and her team are genuinely committed to the success of their students. Indeed, they are always attentive and available to answer even the slightest questions. You can feel confident about your interviews: the preparation is intensive yet effective! A very good rapport from the beginning and a working relationship based on complete trust!

Availability, efficiency and kindness: support that was essential for me to get into a philosophy Master's at a UK university. A huge thank you to Louise and her team for their high-quality work and dedication to bringing my project to life. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without hesitation!

Expat student enabled me to prepare my application in the best possible way. Good follow-up, with plenty of practice and great advice for interviews that helps you feel at ease. Thank you very much for your kindness and patience, which really helped and reassured me!

We would like to sincerely thank you for your attentiveness, availability and professionalism throughout every stage of the support. A huge thank you for the personalised follow-up; these very personal choices require a lot of humanity, and you certainly have it!

Thanks to her expertise and mastery of the English university system, Louise was available, supportive, efficient, full of initiative, very attentive to our daughter and encouraged her throughout the year.

As parents, having Louise and her team support our son through this English university application process was a huge relief. We were guided through the key stages and felt confident throughout that we had the instructions, wise advice and wouldn't miss a single deadline. As for our son, he particularly appreciated the support—which was both empowering and focused—during the drafting of the Personal Statement right up to the final version. We warmly recommend your services!»

Your extensive on-the-ground expertise and knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon university system greatly helped us in choosing our courses and universities. Your advice, your help with writing the personal statement, and your encouragement throughout the process, delivered with kindness and professionalism, were reassuring for us as parents and highly motivating for Joanne. A huge thank you to both of you!

Expat Student really helped me set up my higher education project in England. Louise and her team were there for me at every stage of my journey (choice of course, choice of universities, UCAS, personal statement) and enabled me to approach this period of major changes with confidence. Their kindness, warmth and expertise were also a great help in preparing my applications for Canada and France, which were my back-up plans.
