A sense of independence and adventure. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
To say it was "worthwhile," is an understatement! This experience is one that you grow in ways words cannot describe. It will change your life in the best ways. I learned a much deeper meaning of independence, and it has allowed me to live a very fearless life. I couldn't recommend it more. It is what you make of it, but if you ...

I learned to be so independent and be able to be confident in myself. A student - University of Nebraska - Lincoln View Entire Review
I learned about my heritage (Italian) and who I am. I learned that the Italian lifestyle is so much better than how Americans live and how disgusting America/American culture is. I am already planning my next return to Rome. Alexa Cardelli - Ball State University View Entire Review
I grew in so many ways that I never even knew were possible. It was truly the best choice of my life. Rose F - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I gained the travel bug! I now have so many other places I want to travel and feel comfortable doing so. I now have a new understanding and appreciation of other cultures. Ariel R - Regis University View Entire Review
I learned that you should never let a once in a lifetime opportunity pass. Enjoy it and don't regret it. Also, learn to explore new things more. I essentially spent a majority of my time abroad exploring the city on my own, and it was so worth it. A student - University of Houston View Entire Review
You gain a respect for the culture, and learn hands-on for your classes A student - University of Connecticut View Entire Review
I learned more about myself than I ever imagined. The relationships I formed while in Rome were incredible. The students in my program bonded so much that we are having a reunion in the US this summer. My outlook on life has changed so much, and I feel like a much more accepting and cultured person. I'm even planning on moving t... Rachel M - University of South Dakota View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and the world around me. If I could do it again I would do it in a heartbeat. Ashley J - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I gained many transferable skills when studying abroad that will last a lifetime. I learned to have an open mind and be more patient. I have also learned problem-solving skills and to not give up on the first try. Amie Knowles - Emmanuel College (Massachusetts) View Entire Review
I was nervous for typical things like I wouldn’t meet anyone I connected with or I would feel like the odd one out, but most people in your abroad experience are feeling the Sam way and embark on the journey on their also. I already felt like I was a friendly person who didn’t struggle to make friends, but this experience really... Zenya Capellan - University of Tampa View Entire Review

I've never had the chance to leave the country, let alone have the opportunity to travel all over Europe while earning credits through the Italian system. I not only gained friends, and a different cultural way of living, but I gained a lot of knowledge about myself along the way. Paige Bestle - University of Hartford View Entire Review
How to adapt to another culture Erica Greenwood - Xavier University of Louisiana View Entire Review
It was the most worthwhile experience I've ever had in my life. I gained so much confidence in everything I do now. I am completely okay with trying new things and going outside of my comfort zone. These new perspectives and attributes were all taught to me through studying abroad. Nathan H - University of Minnesota - Duluth View Entire Review
I learned about different cultures and how easily it is to travel around Europe. It was the best experience of my life! I plan on going back to live there after I graduate. Tayler G - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
I learned to be more accepting of new cultures, ideas, and ways of life. I also learned about my own capabilities and grew in confidence. It was definitely a worthwhile experience! A student - University of Kansas View Entire Review
I learned about the culture. It was definitely worthwhile! i had so much fun. A student - University of Nebraska - Lincoln View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. You learn to think for yourself. Jeff M - Drake University View Entire Review
I gained a sense of self, greater independence, a more complex world view. I gained knowledge about what life is like in a foreign country and how similar yet different people can be. It was by far the most amazing experience of my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
