Excellent.

Exchange: Zaragoza - Universidad De Zaragoza

It was definitely worthwhile. I didn't gain a lot of tangible things from this trip. It was more how it grew me as a person and how it made me so much more confident.

Paris Internship Program: Too Much Focus On Initial Schooling, Needs More Focus On Actual Internship

Boston University: Paris - Internship Program

It was worth it for the internship part of the program. The staff could have handled different issues that many students had in a bit more of a compassionate manner, and if there was less of a focus on schoolwork and assignments while working full-time at the internship, I feel I could have profited more from experiencing daily ...

China: An Invaluable Experience

Valparaiso University: Hangzhou - Valparaiso University Study Center

Not only has my Chinese improved, but I am a more mature individual. I feel more independent, I mean I survived a whole semester in China! I had to deal with all of my day to day issues, there was not anyone to hold my hand and guide me through it. Also, most of the other international students were older Europeans. So, natu...
