Apart from regular academics, I learned how to view my own culture from a perspective different than my own. Carolyn Hauk - Gettysburg College View Entire Review
more about myself, more about the culture in Italy, about amazing food. Definitely worthwhile Rachel - Emory University View Entire Review
I gained more autonomy and independence and it was definitely worthwhile and I definitely plan on moving here one day. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Going abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much independence, cultural awareness, and appreciation for the world. I grew so much as a person and gained a new perspective on not only the world, but myself. Nothing compares to what you will learn by going out in the world, immersing yourself in a new culture, and living a... Victoria Cogliandro - Tulane University View Entire Review
heavy experience in the language Benjamin L - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned to trust myself more, and to be scared of fewer things. As a chronically late person, I finally learned to manage my time enough to be chronically on time! I feel like I can tackle anything now. And study abroad taught me that. Justine Zimmerman - Emory University View Entire Review
The biggest thing I learned while abroad was to live in the present. At home I tend to always think about what I am going to do in the future or I get stuck in the past. Studying abroad showed me how to live in the moment and take time to "stop and smell the roses". Olivia - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned above all else to be self reliant and okay with being uncomfortable and persevering anyway Tobias R - Brandeis University View Entire Review

my experience was definitely worth while and I feel like I learned a lot! Paola Salgado - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review
I learned that it is okay to travel solo sometimes! I came in wanting to find friends I could travel with, but when that didn't happen I was comfortable enough to explore on my own and gain some wonderful memories and experiences! It was absolutely worthwhile! Reed Hanson - Hope College View Entire Review
I learned new language and communication skills, I gained a deeper appreciation for other cultures, and I was able to travel the world and meet new/interesting people. This was an extremely worthwhile experience. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I've become interculturally competent in a way that I certainly was not before, I've learned a fair degree in a language I could barely say "hello" in, and I've gained an international outlook through relationships with the people I met in Rome. A student - Occidental College View Entire Review
