"My experience in Melbourne changed my concept of quality of life. It made me realize the value of constantly exploring, appreciating the outdoors, and engaging in intercultural dialogue (which I had the opportunity to do every day given that I was the foreigner!) Studying abroad has impacted me so much, that I have devoted my ..."

"Yes. I saw amazing art, go to go to off-limit sites. Had amazing coffee and food and met some very interesting people who I am still friends with and have seen after the program ended. I gained a better understanding of Italian culture and their way of life. I can't really explain it to you, just go and you'll see what I mean."

"Absolutely - I gained fluency in Spanish, a wonderful new set of friends, and had the experience to travel all around Spain and Europe. I gained so much independence, confidence, and world knowledge. "

"I originally was hesitant about going abroad. I did not know if I would be able to due to the rigor of my major, and on top of that didn't know if I really wanted to be on the other side of the world for 5 months. I was never good with foreign language, and enjoyed traveling, but had never been out of the country for more than..."
Casey F Tufts University
"Definitely worthwhile. With this program you can fall into speaking English with classmates, but you also have numerous opportunities to interact with locals (through programs offered by the Institute) and your host family. Avignon is also a city with numerous french/international students, so it is an environment where meeting ..."
Jimbo Tufts University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile, though I felt a little shortchanged on the academic side; I'd have liked more focused teaching from the professors, and more discussion of the material rather than so much independent study; it almost felt as if we were required to do so much on our own time because the professors just di..."

"It was the greatest year of my life, which I know is a cliche, but it's completely true. I made amazing friends, grew tremendously as a student, and it reinforced my desire to continue on my current career path. Oxford will teach you to become a different kind of student, and one that you really can't become at an American uni..."

"My study abroad experience was the best year of my life. It was a very fun year and really pushed me in lots of ways. I think expanding from what you are familiar with, really pushes you as an individual. I would suggest everyone to study abroad if they have the opportunity and Buenos Aires is such a great and fun city! It's big..."

"Europe is a place for history and architecture; Australia is a place for natural beauty (especially the Great Barrier Reef which is the most breath taking natural wonder in the world). The country holds a "No Worries" attitude that puts things in perspective and is a model lifestyle."
MichaelCerundolo Tufts University
"My study abroad experience was one of my favorite parts of college. It is such a distinctive sensation to leave a country that you found initially difficult, unfamiliar, and very foreign, feeling like it is home, and that you understand it, at least to some extent. It was empowering to discover how easily I could adapt to circum..."

"My study abroad experience was completely worthwhile. I'd go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat. "
Rebecca C Tufts University
"I met so many people from so many different places that I'd never known anything about before. My German speaking skills increased hugely. I learned a lot about politics in Germany, and it was very interesting to see another way of doing things in government. Being able to drink legally was awesome, and the culture around alc..."

"I've grown a lot. I've gotten better at putting my life in perspective (getting angry less), have creatively flourished, and have expanded my mind. It's cliche, yes, but it's true. Also, I had a ton of fun. I've said it over and over: best year of my life."
Devin T Tufts University
"Yes, my experience was worthwhile. In addition to a foreign language, I learned a lot about the European culture as a global concept, since I had the chance to travel a lot throughout Western and Central Europe. I had interesting classes, very good dance ensemble. I saw many theaters and concerts, made many international friends..."
Bistra S Tufts University
"My study abroad was completely worthwhile. I had the best time of my life and had some amazing academic and work experiences there; I was able to do things (such as work at Parliament) that I would never be able to do otherwise and my classes were really interesting with amazing professors. While I would have liked to have b..."
Charlotte B Tufts University
"Absolutely, this experience was worthwhile. I discovered a beautiful island, with beautiful, friendly people, and had the opportunity to travel a lot within the country (both with the SIT group and independently) and see how different it was from one end to the other. I realized (as did most students) that I was more confident..."
