I feel more independent but I would not choose the same program again. Emily K - University of Rochester View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was worthwhile and beyond. I not only learned so much about the Czech Republic in my classes, but I really did feel as though experiencing every day life in Prague was a class in itself. I am so much more independent, have a new interest in EU politics and Central European history, and really feel as t... Sara G - University of Rochester View Entire Review
YESSSSSSSSS-studying abroad is sooo sooo worth it. College is incredible but I think that if you have the chance, everyone should study abroad-it's such a once in a lifetime experience. I went to Prague because I was not very interested in learning a language, but I definitely learned a lot about the Czech culture, politics, lif... Jocelyn R - Hamilton College View Entire Review
It was a wonderful experience. The Czech Republic is definitely a lot different than studying somewhere like London, and the people are really different. But I loved learning about their history and exploring such a unique place. Laura M - Boston College View Entire Review

It was definitely worthwhile. It was tough being away in a new culture for so long, but it was so worth it. Also, Prague is super cheap and centrally located, so traveling and living were both very possible and affordable. Cassie D - University of Rochester View Entire Review

I sponsor J-1 visas to international students looking to come and work in the US during their summer vacations. I've had the opportunity to travel around the world to meet with university students and US... Alexis B View Entire Review
very worth while. I wish I went in the fall and spent a full year in Prague. It is an amazing, affordable city. Stephanie B - Providence College View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I had a great time, and although I had some disappointments, the traveling experience, the culture shock, really helped me to understand there is more than just a US way of living. This is something I thought I already understood, but I was incorrect, and now I have a better understanding. Sarah M - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
