My abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. The people I met and the places I went have impacted who I am and allowed to me to grow as a person. Mary Nora L - Providence College View Entire Review
Very much so. O'Shaughnessy A - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned that I am independent and can literally travel the world on my own. I learned that I am able to adapt easily, and that I am a strong person. I loved experiencing another culture and trying to assimilate. I would absolutely do it all over again!! I learned that the world is much bigger than...

I loved every minute of my study abroad experience. There were times when I was homesick, but that happened to everyone. I have become more confident in myself and independent. I feel that I am able to do just about anything in any given situation. I am able to think on my feet better and just have more street smarts. I am able ...

I learned so much about so many different countries. This was pretty much my first time in Europe so getting to live in Ireland was amazing. I was also able to travel to other countries during some of the school breaks, which was definitely worthwhile! B - Providence College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. I gained so many different friends, that I would have never met if I never studied abroad. I gained self confidence in regards to meeting new people and traveling and a new self of independence. It was a great experience. Jessica B - Providence College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I had the time of my life and could not have been happier. I miss it everyday. I would tell everyone to study abroad it is the best thing you will ever do. I gained new friends, a different view of life, more experiences, so much. I feel like I have actually lived, it wasn't ... Mags - University of Hartford View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was literally the time of my life. I was exposed to different teaching styles and a different culture. I met some really great people and was able to experience other parts of Europe as well, since its fairly inexpensive to travel around the continent there. Europe is definitely more student-friendly a... golembews - University of Hartford View Entire Review

You Learn A Lot About Yourself, But You Should Definitely Bring A Friend With You If You Come.
It teaches you a lot about yourself, and about what you like in life and what you would like to do. It was an invaluable experience, but I would defeinitely reccommend going with a friend, and if you don't like to drink, and/or are involved in your faith community at home, don't expect to find that in Ireland. Kevin B - Providence College View Entire Review
I never really understood what "American" culture was until studying abroad. Talking with the Irish students and hearing their impression on America made me realize what the US means as a country-both the good and bad sides. Jacob R - Trinity University View Entire Review
I loved the experience. It was great getting to live in Ireland and become a part of that culture and get to make so many new friends. Every experience was a bonding one and while the cold was something hard to adjust to, now it's just one more story to tell everyone. I would recommend this program to anyone. Kimberly K - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes, it was a fantastic experience. The courses were challenging and interesting. People native to Galway are extremely friendly and almost always willing to sit for 5 minutes and chat. Galway is also a great central location to travel around Ireland and throughout Europe. Kevin G - Amherst College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile and one of the best decisions I've made. I've gained a much greater sense of who I am, how independent I can be and how much I can accomplish and overcome on my own. Going abroad is such a liberating experience. It has allowed me to look back on my time and realize that I was able to manuever my ... Leigh R - Providence College View Entire Review
It was the best five months of my life, and I genuinely did not feel ready to leave. The friends I made, places I went, and things I experiences are invaluable. Gabby - Providence College View Entire Review
It was 100% worthwhile and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. The only thing I would have done differently was stay for the year instead of only one semester. I strongly recomment for everyone to study abroad at least for one semester. Sheila G - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I can't being to express how much i loved it. I can honestly say it was the best thing I have done in my life thus far. I wish I were still there, I want to go back! School, work, live?? I'll do It! I gained the world! such great friends, memories, and passions that I will never ever forget! Tara J - University of Hartford View Entire Review
