I not only learned a great deal about myself but also how to travel safely, how to better keep up with school work, and I learned a completely new way of life that has taught me to relax and go with the flow because sometimes that's all you can do. It was absolutely worthwhile, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
When in a foreign country, your really on your own. Learn to be dependent, have time-management skills, budget, budget, budget and explore!!!! A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I am much more culturally aware being exposed to more cultures than just the American. I leaned that each country has its own set of social norms and how to deal with problems that my arise if there are conflicts because of cultural differences. I also learned a lot about myself, and grew because of the experiences I had. It ... Megan D - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review

Studying abroad has given me a completely new and fresh perspective on life and other cultures. I have been bitten with the travel bug 100%, and have made it a priority to incorporate traveling and trying new experiences into my everyday life, even if that means just a short trip a few towns over.

My study abroad experience was one of the best decisions i have ever made. It is impossible to list everything i learned from it or explain how special this type of opportunity is. My abroad experience has opened my eyes to cultural awareness but has not had any changes on my academic interests as of now...other than causing my ...

I gained a lot of independence as well as freedom to make my own decisions and do what I want to do. Josh W - Illinois State University View Entire Review
The independence I was able to gain from traveling on my own and trying new things is priceless. Meeting people from so many other countries and knowing how they perceive things has really broadened my views. Just traveling here on my own has made me want to go out into the world again and see more. After I graduate I hope to tr... Alexandra E - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I gain independance and learned how to travel by myself. Plus just getting out there and seeing the world was really cool. Australia is different than the US but its not super different like they listen to the same music and movies as us. rob r - Western Washington University View Entire Review

Confidence. Traveling and living across the world is an inspiring endeavor. I would do it again in a heart-beat. Andrew G - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
It was worth it to get away from the home university for a while to see something new. I know I didn't make a ton of friends while I was here, but I learned new things, and I met new people, and I saw things I never saw before such as the Great barrier reef, and it was amazing.

I came back from my Study Abroad trip a new a better person. It was the best and most wonderful opportunity someone our age could have. It opened my eyes to so many different types of people, cultures and values. Study Abroad gives you a new perspective on life and a new way of seeing things. Kara D - Towson University View Entire Review
Gave me a new perspective on the world and myself. I found out how little I knew about not only Australia but America as well. Gaining an international perspective is a little scary at first but interesting and worthwhile in the end because it makes you see the other side to the story. Mike M - Providence College View Entire Review
