I think I gained a lot of self-confidence and an appreciation for independence while I was abroad. I feel more capable about traveling on my own and navigating transport outside of the U.S. I also have a greater appreciation for the South Pacific, particularly from my Pacific Biogeography and Biodiversity course. If given the ch... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It ended up being both a lesson in living by myself as well as an introspective experience A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of independence since I did not leave home to go to University in the United States/ A student - Santa Clara University View Entire Review
I learned how to be more self-sufficient, how to cook better, and even a little bit of a new language. A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and how to travel smart in a foreign country. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I gained an appreciation for other cultures, and due to not having the same responsibilities that you have at home, I was really able to learn about what was important to me and my priorities. Sarah G - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Haha there is no way I could fit all I learned when I was abroad in this box. It was quite worthwhile. I proved to myself that I can maintain and improve upon the qualities of myself that I like most while uncovering new ones at the same time. I have gained confidence in new (and sometimes bizarre) situations. I have also acquir... A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned to constantly push myself beyond my comfort zone when it comes to meeting new people, adjusting to a new environment, and traveling so that I can become a stronger individual. Every adventure was worthwhile including the tears, sweat, and laughter. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
A solid appreciation for a country with a unique personality. Rupesh P - Austin College View Entire Review
Studying abroad made me a more independent and confident person. I found myself doing, and loving activities I never thought I'd do in my lifetime. I learned about an entirely different side to myself while learning about the world from an entirely different lens. It was absolutely worthwhile! I would not have changed a thing. I...

I traveled almost every weekend, plus I spent 2 weeks in the South Island, and 9 days in Australia. I learned how to travel well and I learned all I was capable of through testing myself with bungy jumping, sky diving, etc. I was able to do so many amazing things! I would do it again in a heartbeat! A student - Villanova University View Entire Review
Best thing I have ever done. I could write essays on it. Eric C - Bryant University View Entire Review
It's had a huge impact on me. I learned how to be thrust into a foreign city with no friends and make a life for myself. Multiple people have commented on how I have grown as a person. Andrew O - Providence College View Entire Review
I gained many memorable experiences. Toby G - Middlebury College View Entire Review
More independence and self confidence Chelsea Brown - The College of Wooster View Entire Review
gained more independence. yes it was worthwhile A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
I feel much more capable of acting independently, and i learned a lot about New Zealand culture, especially in my classes. It was the most difficult but best decision I've ever made. Jaime K - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and how to have fun with people I trust and I felt empowered to travel alone and learn about new people and places Corinne Smith - Hamilton College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about traveling alone and moving to a new country, as well as how to learn about a new place with an open mind. I gained a lot of knowledge about New Zealand itself, an appreciation for new places, new people, and experiences I otherwise wouldn't have. It was definitely worthwhile and the best experience I coul... Stephanie R - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Sometimes, your best friends are in other parts of the world! I received so many priceless blessings! A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I've had the most amazing, eye-opening experience abroad. I discovered more about myself, what I like to do, and what I want to do with my life. I've got the travel bug and want to keep exploring everywhere I can. I've learned to take a step back and relax, and enjoy what's out there! Lyssa G - Providence College View Entire Review
Confidence and a greater awareness about the way others experience life. Yes, it was very worthwhile A student - Austin College View Entire Review
Studying abroad absolutely changed my life. I met so many incredible people and got to spend 5 months living in the absolute most beautiful place in the world. Auckland is such a fun city, I can't wait to go back someday. Courtney D - Providence College View Entire Review
I was able to learn about a different country and its culture, I learned how to efficiently travel, planning, cooking, and about myself and my independence. It was more than worthwhile. A student - Bryant University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how the rest of the world see the U.S. (not necessarily a bad thing). I plan to travel a lot more now. Southeast Asia is next on my list. I learned that beautiful places are not unattainable; you just actually have to go to them. Matthew O - Trinity University View Entire Review
