My language skills and confidence in speaking the language improved massively. Additionally, I met amazing people and had the summer of my life. It was definitely worthwhile. Ana Solis Ruiz - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
This most definitely was worthwhile. I learned how adaptable I am and I gained confidence that I can succeed in any situation. I also learned what it was like to live in a different culture and see a different perspective on the world. A student - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was worthwhile, without a doubt. The experience changed my entire perspective on American culture. Things that I had previously regarded as fixed realities have since been challenged, and I have left with a greater appreciation and critique of American culture. My experience hasn't necessarily changed ... Marisa O - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review

YES! Living in Paris taught me just how different another country's culture can be and how different definitely doesn't equal worse. I now have a strong desire to travel much more in my life, and am considering looking into work internationally once I complete my undergraduate degree.
