Definitely worthwhile! Gained greater confidence and independence while immersing myself in a different culture which taught me a lot about my own. Danielle Laverdiere - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and how to manage uncomfortable situations. My intercultural communication skills improved a ton, and I feel like I'm more open minded to different lifestyles. This experience definitely opened my eyes to different ways of life and how to be respectful when being in these new cultures A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned to be way more independent than I was and made new friends in a situation where I didn't know anybody.
