That the world is bigger than just me and by travel to different places you get such a broader world view becoming more open. A student - Washington State University View Entire Review
I learned so much about Spanish culture and how America is so different, which seems obvious, but when you learn why we're the way we are and they're the way they are it is so much more worthwhile.

Katie Ortiz - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
Through CEA, I got to meet other students that I never would've met otherwise, as we all went to different schools throughout the United States. I met and bonded instantly with these incredible people, and I have CEA to thank for that. There is so much to do in Barcelona and I swear I probably averaged 4 hours of sleep a night ...

I gained a ton from my experience abroad, mostly how to interact with people and situations that are different than usual or outside your comfort zone. Riley - Washington State University View Entire Review
