Deeper understanding of myself, understanding of tidying abroad as a business, improved Spanish skills Simeon Huff - Berea College View Entire Review
I learned more about myself as I struggled with loneliness and homesickness, and while it seemed to be overwhelming at times, I also had so many good moments and made so many great memories with the friends I made here and the places I got to see.

I've learned and fell in love with a new culture. It was absolutely worthwhile! Morgan L - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It may seem “easy” to just pack your bags, board the plane and daydream about the memories you will be creating abroad, and though fulfilling those dreams is important in the experience overall, the challenges you will face make up just as important a part of it as well. As an introvert, I learned it ESSENTIAL to put my needs fi... Rachel Bornstein - University of Oklahoma View Entire Review

My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile! I learned to live life to the fullest and go on every adventure possible.

I gained Spanish friends and a Spanish family that I will fo... Kara E - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It absolutely was worthwhile, and I think everyone should study abroad. I have learned so much about myself, what I can handle personally, academically, socially and I have been amazed at the person I've found myself to be.
