It was incredible, made new friends, had amazing experiences. Got to see parts of the world I may never get to again. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learnt how to live independantly, how to plan and cook all of my meals, and how to budget the money that I had. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained confidence exploring different countries alone (traveling alone). I learned to be self-reliant which included cooking for myself and living on my own. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to live on my own in a big city. I learned to trust myself/my judgements. I made great friends and visited so many cool parts of the city/country. Definitely worthwhile! A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

learned about my self and my passions A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to have fun and enjoy life. It taught me more about myself as a person than I could have ever learned at Middlebury College. The experience allowed me to step out of the stressful American lifestyle and into a fun, life-loving Australian paradise. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
The grass is always greener. That being said, I saw things I'd never seen before, I met incredibly interesting and diverse people even if almost all of them were not local. Got a new perspective on life and viable alternatives to the American mindset of track setting and being obligated to do certain things until you're as old a...

I wouldn't change this experience for anything. Ashley J - Austin College View Entire Review
permanent love of australia Alan M - Tufts University View Entire Review
I would definitely say the study abroad experience in Sydney was better than the educational aspect of the actual university. I would most definitely recommend any program in Sydney, Australia. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective on how university works in other countries as well as an understanding of a different culture. Definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Sydney is the prefect city! Amazing weather, outdoors component with the city life. SO much fun!!! Would recommend to any and everyone! Devon T - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Attending a large university in a city was an experience completely different from Middlebury which was great. Learning how to navigate a city and an entirely new country was very eye opening for me. I enjoyed getting better at little things like cooking or mastering the public transportation system. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a great appreciation for that part of the world and the beautiful landscape. I also felt like I lived a very healthy and exciting lifestyle jack Hoelzer - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I got to feel what it was like to live independently in a city. While it was not encouraged to live in an apartment with other Middlebury students it was the best decision I made. It was a great change of pace to not be in a small-town, living in dorms, and I became much closer with the Middlebury students there. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learnt a lot about Australia its people, economy and history which is all new to me A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worth while. I learned to relax and live life at a slower pace. However, if I could do it over again I would live with local students and use more money for traveling. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review

yessssss every second, minute, and dollar. well worth Brianna G - Trinity University View Entire Review
