Different family values Different historical perspectives a whole new culture confidence in myself as an independent adult Christian B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was phenomenal. I grew as a person and learned that not all generalized groups of white people suck. Why? Because they're foreign and you don't know them well enough to pass judgement. Brian S - Tulane University View Entire Review

I grew as a person and gain a better understanding of the world I live in. Sara L - University of Hartford View Entire Review
The experience was amazing. I met some incredibly interesting people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future. I not only learned a lot about film but also about myself. I think I changed as a person for the better. Langston A - Tulane University View Entire Review
