"The world is huge, and there is much work to be done."
A student Tufts University
"The best four months I will ever have and I could not have possible asked for a better program/experience! It was literally unreal. NO8DO"
Laura G Tufts University
"What I enjoyed most about the program were the people. Koc University attracts many exchange students from all over the world, so I not only got to interact with Turkish students but also students from all over. The campus is very safe and easy to navigate. Professors are accessible and classes are not difficult."
Yuri C Tufts University
"amazing travel experiences, great culture, incredible learning experiences outside of the classroom, poor academic standards and teachers "
Matt H Tufts University
"People will say that Amman is boring, that it's hard to be a girl, that they didn't have enough opportunities to get involved with local cultures, etc etc. This has everything to do with attitude. Amman is not Paris, and you shouldn't expect it to be. But Amman is beautiful in its own way... it's a city built largely due to the ..."

"Absolutely worthwhile; I felt like I learned more than I have ever learned in my life each day, from strangers, family, American friends, and teachers. I learned to accept what I can't change, and to work with what I can. Open minds are key and judgement is not worth it."
Catey B Tufts University
"It was absolutely worthwhile, since being abroad helped me appreciate aspects of life at home that I had been taking for granted. Being able to travel also gave me the confidence to navigate a foreign country by myself."
A student Tufts University
"That is really hard to sum up in a few short lines. It was incredibly worth while and I learned A LOT. I guess in concrete terms my Spanish improved a lot, especially during the second semester. I got really good at planning trips and coping with foreign experiences. Overall it was a great experience, not because I had fun and e..."
A student Tufts University
"Absolutely worthwhile, though I had a better experience when I directly enrolled in the University of Barcelona, rather than participating in an American program. Would highly recommend Barcelona to students of all Spanish levels, especially those with an affinity for languages who will pick up some Catalan!"
A student Tufts University
"so worthwhile. lead to me changing my major to Italian"
A student Tufts University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I have learned to embrace daily challenges: My cab driver who stops halfway to my destination to drink milk with his buddies; Crouching on a squat toilet in the dark, comprehending only a rapid whirl of guttural vowels on the other side of the door; Adjusting to the slow-paced, yet thorough teaching style ..."
Lindsay L Tufts University
"I dont think I can answer this in a short response. My time in Kenya changed me as a person in more than one way. It was incredible to see and live with people 10,000 miles from home. It was undoubtedly the most worthwhile 5 months of my educational experience so far. "
Douglas W Tufts University
"I would say I'm more outgoing and adventurous now. Spanish lifestyle is fairly laidback you have to go with the flow. They have this saying in Madrid "No pasa nada". Madrileños say it all the time. It means "Don't worry about it. Everything's gonna be okay". Even though it made my senior year schedule slightly less flexible, goi..."

"It was worthwhile but definitely not due to the program. It was eye-opening in certain ways, but at times it was eye-opening because these were situations the program should not have put me in. "

"Definitely. My ability to speak and read Japanese improved tremendously."
William V Tufts University
"I fell in love with a city and a culture. It was more than worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"I learned a lot academically -- international business, corporate finance, graphic design, documentary film making etc. I also gained a keen knowledge of British culture and made life-long friends."
A student Tufts University
"It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"I can speak Italian now (sort of/kind of). I loved being able to be independent and free to wander Europe--it's an amazing privilege that you better take advantage of! No matter where you go and what your experience was (positive or negative), I think the experience of living abroad is always worthwhile."
Anna F Tufts University
"I gained a ton. I improved my Spanish, made new friends, fell in love with Madrid, and learned a lot about myself. It was completely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"It was amazing! I learned to really be independent and travel all over Europe with friends. I got the most amazing host family who I still keep in touch with and i got to use all the spanish that I learned so it was very rewarding!"
Sara G Tufts University
"Worthwhile, i got to travel through most of europe. gained the obvious, cultural experience, language improvement, a desire to continue traveling, etc. "
A student Tufts University
"The experience was amazing. The academics were ideal and I learned more in one year at the LSE than had the past two years at my home university. If you love math and economics it's a great place to be because the two are integrated so seamlessly. I was also able to plan my schedule in a way that made it possible for me to tr..."
A student Tufts University
"Totally worthwhile--I learned a lot about myself academically and socially. I became way more independent and learned how to be a savvy traveler. "
Carly M Tufts University
"I learned about and experienced the real Israel (good stuff and bad). Definitely worthwhile. Tel Aviv is one of the most beautiful and exciting cities I have been too. "
