An international perspective and great memories making it worth while - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Great
Extremely worthwhile - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained so much maturity and independence, and I really feel like I know myself better as a person. I was so happy in Australia and it provoked a lot of thinking about who I want to be and what I want my life to look like. - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review
Very worthwhile, I learned a lot about myself and made some amazing friends. - Villanova University View Entire Review
This was the best time of my life. It is great because you get to meet a completely new set of friends from all over the world and learn a lot about a new culture. However, it is similar enough that you will not experience culture shock very much. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Make sure you go on One Fish Two Fish f... - Trinity University View Entire Review
The experience was a lot different from what I was expecting, I think I thought it would be more American than it was. The people and attitudes are much more relaxed there, and I enjoyed living in a different atmosphere for a few months. - Trinity University View Entire Review

it was worthwhile! I gained a lot of cultural understanding. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Going abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I learned about different cultures and gained perspectives from people from all over the world. I also developed a taste for adventure and spontaneity. I was able to break out of the dull day-to-day routine I am used to and experienced an entirely different lifestyle. - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review

Although Australian society is similar to that of the States it's culture is surprisingly different in ways and I also had the opportunity to visit Fiji and see bo... - Trinity University View Entire Review
I became more self sufficient and adventurous. I don't think Australia provides cultural awareness in the same way countries with a language barrier do. However, there is a whole other perspective of the world because Australia is this far off land that gets left off the map. Yet it has so much to offer, people should really tak... - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review
i think that it was an amazing experience. i would do it again but there would be some things i would have changed to get a better experience. make sure to travel as much as possible cause there is so much to see. go to paddy's market in Sydney. your friends and wallet will thank you! it really made me grow as a person and learn... - Longwood University View Entire Review
Met my girlfriend there so yeah it was worthwhile, but if you want to do something other than party and surf (with the occasional bit of school), go somewhere else. - Vassar College View Entire Review
