I learned how to be fully independent and explore my surroundings while being in a completely new environment. It was definitely worthwhle. Emily F - Claremont McKenna College View Entire Review

It was absolutely worth it. I learned more about the ever-important skill of balancing academics with "normal life". It was a challenge to manage time in academics and play/travel/exploring. There are little things I would do differently, but I would do it again in a heart beat. Justin J - Berea College View Entire Review
i visited many countries, learned a language I love and got a break from my college A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
