I became more confident in myself as a woman and I feel confident traveling alone now. I also realized how passionate I am about a career in social media and marketing. Alexis V - Wright State University View Entire Review
I realized that I belong in London. I fit in with their culture more than Indiana's. The people I interacted with were so accepting and never made me feel like I was different just because of my skin color. Kayla Jackson - Ball State University View Entire Review
it was so worthwhile A student - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
I learned that you can truly do ANYTHING you set your mind to. It was the best decision I've made in my life thus far. Anthony - Ball State University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and how to deal with situations that do not go as I expected, whether it be missing a flight/train or being homesick when I didn't think I would be. I had to adapt and make the best of each situation and learn to live in the moment. Rachel Larson - University of Minnesota - Duluth View Entire Review
I was able to connect with a different lifestyle and learn about different cultures. I loved it. A student - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
I gained an understanding of what it is like to live outside of the seemingly closed off United States and experiencing the amazingly diverse city of London all while being able to cheaply travel to other cities in Europe and experience their history and culture. A student - Salem State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about being independent, making friends, international travel, foreign currency, public transportation, British culture, and so much more. It was the best experience of my life and I miss it so much every day! Abigail Duffy - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation for new cultures and a love for traveling throughout Europe. It was definitely the best decision I could have made and I hope to go back as soon as I can. Celeste - California Lutheran University View Entire Review
It was definitely worth while- I am trying to figure out the next time I get to go back to visit! I really learned how to adapt to new surroundings and experience everyday life outside of my comfort zone. Emma Whiting - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
I learned more about my ability to be independent and navigate myself with confidence around a huge city- completely worthwhile, once in a lifetime experience! Taylor A - University of South Carolina - Columbia View Entire Review
Words cannot explain how grateful I am to have embarked on this adventure. I was so nervous as all of you will be but it was such a great adventure. I some great friends that I will stay in touch with my whole life. I am also trying to find a way to get back to London someday. Dakota H - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I gained new skills and became more comfortable with traveling. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Wheelock College View Entire Review
Yes! I learned to become more confident and independent in my choices. Exploring a different city by myself and with other people really showed my what I am capable of. I became more interested in all types of art, and I know that I want a creative career. Adrianna Waters - Western Kentucky University View Entire Review
I gained a personal confidence that I never had before. It’s a bit difficult to explain, but the people and experiences helped me come out of my shell and taught me to be more independent. I also learned how to say “Where’s the restroom?” and “I’d like to order..” in six different languages! It was EXTREMELY worthwhile! The p...

I gained friends for a lifetime and an international perspective. Every minute of it was worthwhile. A student - Florida Atlantic University View Entire Review
I got to experience so many things I had always dreamed about. London is such an amazing city, and the people there were so welcoming. I would go back in a heartbeat. A student - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
I am way more independent, confident, and capable in general. I'm a family-oriented homebody, and studying abroad showed me what it's like to travel and live on your own. It really changed how I live and my goals for the future. It was absolutely worth it. Mikayla Lawrence - Western Washington University View Entire Review
It was so worthwhile. I gained so many new great friends, a new appreciation for learning, a taste of the world, and I got to jump into traveling the world. Cassandra Goodman - Ohio Northern University View Entire Review
I learned how to be more carefree. I was a massive planner before going abroad. If being abroad teaches you anything, it's that you have to go with the flow sometimes. Things aren't always going to work out how you planned them, but sometimes the way they do work out is even better. Danielle Pantano - Florida Atlantic University View Entire Review
I have absolutely no regrets from studying abroad. It gave me international travel experience as well as the ability to assimilate and adapt to different cultures at a fast pace. With any job, this is a highly valuable skill to have on a resume. Additionally, I have gained copious amounts of self confidence. Jacob - Minnesota State University, Mankato View Entire Review
I learned more about myself and grew more than I ever thought possible. I was always shy and quiet and was extremely anxious about making new friends abroad and through studying abroad and AIFS I made some of my best friends. I was also able to go on trips with people strangers and come back as friends. I learned that I can do... Maura O - Marywood University View Entire Review
This program was incredibly worthwhile because not only did I get to learn photography, see a beautiful city, and grow as a student, but I learned about cultural differences, independence, and myself. I am confident that my resume will be boosted by this experience abroad and that I will always be able to use the skills I learn... Bianca A - Towson University View Entire Review
You learn a lot, become more independent, and it's fun A student - Ohio State University - Columbus View Entire Review
