Hannah W Tufts University
"Ability and confidence: speaking Spanish, being near-totally alone (socially, physically) for long stretches of time."
A student Tufts University
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I was able to learn about culture, history, day-to-day life, food, clothing, philosophy, and most importantly, myself. It gave me new zest for life and made me much happier to learn that there is so much more wonderful things to the world than advertised. "
Paul M Tufts University
"I grew personally and became more able to live independently. I also learned how to work and live with different people from diverse backgrounds. I have a new perspective about the role of government for its people and learned about poverty and social programs from people struggling to get by daily. "
A student Tufts University
"Definitely worthwhile. I was able to travel to multiple South-Eastern Asian countries that I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. I was also able to eat a lot of great food."
A student Tufts University
"I learned what it was like to live in another country. And that even one as similar to my own as Germany can be stressful to acclamate to. It was definitely worth it."
Peter S Tufts University
"I became a much more independent and confident person after studying abroad. Living in a new city with a different language and culture pushed me out of my comfort zone. Traveling to many countries and cities with other students taught me to be more independent. Studying abroad was extremely worthwhile. "
SHELBY R Tufts University
"A sense of accomplishment, independence, and many, many life skills. It was incredibly worthwhile. "
A student Tufts University
"I learned an incredible amount about South Africa and got to see a fair amount of the country. Doing my ISP research made me feel independent and confident in my interviewing skills. I made great relationships with my host families and other SIT kids"
A student Tufts University
"It was absolutely worthwhile and I don't regret going. My language skills improved significantly and I made the best of a difficult situation"
A student Tufts University
"I learned a lot about India, and a lot about how I handle situations. And it was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University

A student Tufts University
"I wouldn't give up this experience for the world. I am definitely a changed person since studying abroad, and I made tons of local, lifelong friends. A few of them even came to visit me at home this summer! I am so glad I decided to study abroad in Ireland, and that I really put myself out there in the local social environment. ..."
Kacey R Tufts University
"I learned SO much about myself - about living in a big family, about finding my way and getting lost in a big incredible city, about how to introduce myself to people and keep up relationships, about French etiquette and customs, etc. "
A student Tufts University
"I think i learned a lot from going abroad and it was extremely worthwhile. My favorite part of the program was the reading period during which we had time for traveling. Asia is also pretty cheap so there is some more freedom in that regard. My view of the world definitely changed thanks to that semester. "
A student Tufts University
"An entirely new outlook on life, culture, and how to interact with different people. I also became much more comfortable in my language. "

A student Tufts University
"YES! I learned how to balance my health, my time, my studies, my travels and more!"
A student Tufts University
"I learned a lot about the differences in education in Spain and America. I also felt like I improved my Spanish a lot, and got the chance to participate in numerous valuable cultural experiences. Definitely worthwhile!"
