Personality development, and having the courage to do the things you fear but are afraid of. Rand Z - American University of Beirut View Entire Review
Being independent is what I gained Rand Z - American University of Beirut View Entire Review
I loved it despite anything and would love to continue but they dismissed me at the beginning of second semester already without any prior notic Nataliia P - American University of Beirut View Entire Review
The combination of the education and lived experiences are what made that experience so unique and worthwhile. What I learn while in Beirut was that so much of a person's perspective is developed due to their environment and what see and experience everyday. Going to AUB truly made me question my perceptions that are so entrench... A student - American University of Beirut View Entire Review
Extremely worthwhile. You learn a lot about the world just by experiencing it and meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures. If you haven’t travelled much, I beg that you take the chance and you chose Beirut to make a new home in. Eiman Eltigani - University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
I learned so much about the world and Lebanon and my own identity as an Arab-American. I loved witnessing the Lebanese protests. I really loved my study abroad experience. A student - Scripps College View Entire Review

Lifelong friends and a much deeper understanding of the Levant and the Arabic language. Rose F - Duke University View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Beirut was the best decision of my life. I went primarily to practice my language skills, but by the end of the trip, I had traveled up and down the country, made loads of friends of all different nationalities, and learned to navigate the energetic city of Beirut! By the end, I felt like I really belonged in ... Nathaniel Ferguson - Anonymous University View Entire Review

I learned a lot about myself as an individual and as a Lebanese-American. I gained experience with what I want to do professionally (I volunteered with two different Syrian refugee NGOs). Celine Ammash - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
My trip abroad was extremely worthwhile. I found it fascinating to live in a city so different from my own. I felt I learned a lot in the process of adjusting to a new culture and being outside of my comfort zone. A student - Swarthmore College View Entire Review
It was really worthwhile! Reem A - American University of Beirut View Entire Review

Perspective, cultural competence, empathy and some mad defensive skills on the soccer field. Samuel O - Davidson College View Entire Review
I now know to travel as much as I can, which sucks because of COVID. It was more than worthwhile. Asha Wiltshire - University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
100% worthwhile!! A student - Davidson College View Entire Review
Just learned to slow down and enjoy life a bit more. A student - Amherst College View Entire Review
I learned to always keep an open mind because it will allow you to have amazing experiences. My parents were hesitant about me going to the Middle East but I knew it was going to be amazing (and I was right). I also didn't know that many people in Lebanon speak French, English, and Arabic which is so amazing. Finally, I learned ... Megan - Reed College View Entire Review
Absolutely. I learned to trust myself and to persevere with my language learning Nicholas Wehbeh - University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
I learned so much. I obviously can't describe it here. Going somewhere meaningfiully different from what you know is incredibly impactful. Rachel Landau - Northeastern University View Entire Review
Was it worthwhile?! It was more than worthwhile. It not only helped me determine I want to live in Lebanon and report there, it helped me discover parts of me I didn't know existed. Saárah Murphy - Northeastern University View Entire Review
Yes! I learned how to care for myself in a difficult environment, how to make the most out of living abroad, how to conduct research in a foreign language... Kaylee Lockett - Bard College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. I believe my other responses explain why. A student - Davidson College View Entire Review
