Amazing. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I became a lot more comfortable with the language. Studying abroad was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience abroad was 100% worthwhile. There is no better way to learn about yourself and the world around you than to immerse yourself directly into a foreign country out of your comfort zone and without your family and close friends from home to be with you every step of the way. I became almost fluent in the italian langua... Cassie Z - Pennsylvania State University - University Park View Entire Review
I learned to come out of my shell and to go into the experience with an open mind. It paid off! Katie L - Providence College View Entire Review
I gained tremendous insight from immersing myself in a new culture, traveling through Europe with new friends, and living and learning a new language and history. Throwing myself into a new situation with new people was eye opening and a truly unforgettable experience. I learned the importance of independence and planning, and ... A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and feel much more confident in myself in the fact that if I was dropped in any city in the world I feel like I would be able to survive just fine. Also, I'm much more outgoing and have learned a second language. A student - Fordham University View Entire Review
I learned more about Italian language and culture and got a really great internship out of it. Julian C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience abroad was certainly worthwhile. I learned a lot more about both Italian and American culture. A student - Fordham University View Entire Review
Fluency, friends, a great 6 months. A student - Fordham University View Entire Review
It was a fantastic experience and I have learned much about myself and how to take care of myself with limited resources. I would highly recommend it. Rome was a challenge to get around but such an exciting place to live. What an adventure! A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I became more independent, self-assured and confident. David D - Tulane University View Entire Review
I gained a lot from my time abroad: cultural awareness, language speaking abilities, and unique independent travel experience!!! Amy K - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
If I could repeat those four months and more, I absolutely would, as my time abroad proved to be one of the best- if not the best- time of my life, especially personally and culturally. It has certainly instilled in me a desire to return and live abroad again for a longer period of time, which I am already planning to do. It was... Michelle G - Johns Hopkins University View Entire Review
Being abroad is an amazing experience for anyone. You not only learn about the culture of another country, but you learn a lot about how to gain a sense of street smarts and independence which is important no matter where you live. If I could pass on one piece of information, it would be advising students to study in Rome, but N... Student - - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I saw some mind-blowing things, met some great people, and had an overall amazing time in Rome. I definitely learned some things about myself, conquered the challenges of foreign travel, and gained a new perspective on the world. Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I ever made. Lucas M - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned to be accepting of other cultures and really open my eyes to different types of people. Also am a master at reading maps. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I learned about other cultures and how to interact with people different than me. It was also a growing experience being on my own and managing a budget for food and travels. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Becoming more independent and learning about myself more. It was good but not that worthwhile. matt g - Providence College View Entire Review
Learned how to be independent and deal with stressful issues like navigating foreign cities, transportation screw ups, day-to-day living. yes, it was very worthwhile. Hillary K - Trinity University View Entire Review
I absolutely LOVED being abroad--meeting new people and seeing the sites of all the places I traveled to were the greatest experiences of my life! It's unfortunate I was stuck in a terrible program, but I did my own thing and had a blast exploring Europe! A student - Providence College View Entire Review
it was amazing. i learned so much about my self, personal growth and all about an amazing city and culture. I never knew what it meant to love a city until i went to Roma! My possibilities are endless now. Mia C - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I think I am a more patient with people who do not speak a language. I am also eager to learn new languages. I definitely want to learn Spanish and Arabic now. A student - Villanova University View Entire Review
I learned about so many new cultures and I even learned more about the US from being away from it for so long. I learned that I can get along with all types of people and that I can adjust and be flexible to travel the world. A student - Villanova University View Entire Review
YEs. I believe everything happens for a reason and everytime I think about my professors and my programs I feel very lucky to have been a part of it. Katie L - University of Redlands View Entire Review
I love it. I miss it. I want to go back. The people (teachers, students, staff, bakers, shop owners) are incredible. I made lasting friendships with my peers and with my Italian neighbors. Hallie B - Ithaca College View Entire Review
