Here is our feedback: what you've said about us that we've picked up through our grapevine of students, universities, courses and programmes...

'Thank God I'm following you, so much more helpful than our year abroad coordinator!!' Dan, via Twitter

'Genuinely don't know what I did before finding @thirdyearabroad! #lifesaver' Nathalie, via Twitter

'I am SO glad I just came across your website, thank you for putting all of this information in one, friendly place!' Rebecca, via Twitter

'My Uni has been useless in preparing me for my year away. If it wasn't for you guys I would be so lost. A MASSIVE Thank You' Kristal, via Twitter

'Thanks for the link, have registered on the site and am browsing through. It's like my new bible :) x' Caroline, via Twitter

'Thank you @thirdyearabroad - you are saving my life with all your advice & tips in the run up to "the big move" next week!' Myfanwy, via Twitter

'I've been using ThirdYearAbroad for quite a while, but have just decided to sign up. The site's been saved on the Bookmarks Bar of my laptop and I almost feel it's been with me through the stages of deciding what to do, where to come, what to bring and what to see/do whilst I'm here... Keep up the good work!' Olivia, via email

'I told our uni exchanges department to e-mail your website address to everyone on a YA - reading it should be compulsory!' Antonia Storey, via Twitter

'Of course, I'd be delighted to help out and write a mole diary for you. TYA helped me so much in organising my year abroad that I feel that I owe you guys something in return :)' Jack, via email

'I've been checking out ThirdYearAbroad.com, and I'm really impressed! There's a lot of really helpful information on the site, already, so I can imagine how much it's going to grow in the next few months! I especially love the articles under the Before You Go, When You Arrive, and When You Come Back sections; they're very easy to relate to. I'm a pretty strong advocate of young people getting abroad in some way shape or form, and I think websites like yours can really help encourage students to do so. And, of course, I would love to contribute in any way that I can! Let me know what to do :)' Teresa, TYA Member

'Reading the culture shock articles about France on @thirdyearabroad - so nice to know I'm not alone!' Danielle, via Twitter

'It's a great idea. When I was househunting I was so desperate for help and advice and couldn't find it anywhere. I think the site will definitely catch on. I'd really love to write for you. I'm a fellow YA enthusiast and would love to offer some advice.' Gina, TYA Member

'Hi there, I'm off on my year abroad to Sydney, Australia in a months time and I'd just like to say thanks so much for your wonderful site! The layout is great, really easy to use and I'm so grateful for your Top of the Blogs section, as finding a blog of a student who spent her year in Australia has really helped allay a lot of my fears (eg. being a vegetarian in a land of BBQs!)' Ami, via email

'Just want to say your website has been really helpful this year and I can't believe there wasn't something out there like it before. So many students feel completely lost but you offer some really good guidance and links and I think it's great that people can contribute.' Sarah, TYA Member, University of Exeter

'We had a warm and welcoming presence from Lizzie Fane and Natacha Cullinan from ThirdYearAbroad.com, who spoke to students and signed them up to assist them with their website, through blogs and mentoring, which is provided for all students in the UK who are about to embark on a year abroad.' Natasha Edwards, Birmingham University Study Abroad Coordinator

'What you are doing already is great! We will spread the word via our Facebook groups to get your link out there.' Cécile Lancashire, Year Abroad Office, University of Nottingham

'We like your website and would like to promote it among our students.' Carolina Selenas, International Placement Officer, Aston University

'Your site looks amazing, congratulations!' Natasha Edwards, University of Birmingham

'We've been aware of your website for a little while, and noticed that there is a link to it on the British Council's website [...] I'll plan to put a link on the Year Abroad webpages too.' Amanda Law, Year Abroad Office, University of Cambridge

'It looks like an interesting project' Sylvia Jaworska, Year Abroad Coordinator, Queen Mary's University London

'We are pleased to support the ThirdYearAbroad.com initiative to help more students take advantage of this life-changing experience.' David Hibler, Programme Manager at the British Council (Erasmus)

'One of the first things I asked after Lizzie's presentation of ThirdYearAbroad.com was "May I buy shares or invest in any way in your company?!". I am certain that ThirdYearAbroad will grow out to be a huge success and rival the likes of Facebook. The site offers something genuinely useful and unique with content embedded in a dynamic and attractive environment. Lizzie's passion and diligence not merely convince, but inspire and motivate. The second thing I did after the presentation was to become a member of ThirdYearAbroad.com.' Valéri Natanelov, President of the OCEANS Network

"We heard some extremely positive feedback from the visitors who attended your talk!" Anita Gorny, The Language Show, London

"We are proud to be affiliated with ThirdYearAbroad.com, and help promote the ideals of international education and language learning." Andrew Dunkle, GoOverseas.com

"Good networking opportunities with students in the same boat, and a lively forum." The Guardian, in their article 'Clearing 2012: Study abroad and broaden your mind' August 2012
