I learned to become more independent through traveling the country alone. Bryan K - University of Tulsa View Entire Review
Overall it was an unforgettable experience and one that I would repeat in a heartbeat. The friends I made and the memories I created will stick with me forever. The Turks say that you can take someone out of Turkey, but you can't take Turkey out of them. I would recommend this program to anyone that wants an atypical study ab...

It was worthwhile. I learned how nice people can be. I am glad i chose Turkey because most people want to sincerely help you with everything. It is also an very welcoming, family based place. A student - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
I learned how to empathize and place myself in different shoes of a different culture. I also learned more about the international community and made numerous friends from different countries around the world. If there's one thing that I took away, it would be international awareness/acceptence. I wouldn't trade this experience ... csporl - Western Washington University View Entire Review
What I enjoyed most about the program were the people.

I became so much more self-reliant and independent, and I made so many lasting friendships, especially with other study abroad students. It was also a great break from the rigor of my university in t... Anna W - Georgetown University View Entire Review
My study abroad was DEFINITELY worthwhile. It was such an experience to be in a different country for that amount of time. It was definitely a huge growing experience to travel alone, to manage a budget, to learn in a completely different educational system, and be surrounded by a new language. Neera I - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I love to study and be in school and learn new things but I definitely like smaller groups in class because it's easier to ask questions and understand the professor. Melisa Gurkan - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to live a differen lifestyle and deal with ambiguity. In the US, people always rush everywhere and try to do everything at once. Life is very stressful and necessarily productive. Living in Turkey, I learn to give myself a break and live my social, spiritual, emotional life instead of just my career and academic life. Tran N - Berea College View Entire Review
Too much to put into words. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review

From the beginning I realized that I had a golden opportunity in front of me to do everything I can to push myself out of my comfort zone and see how I conduct myself in a completely new and foreign environment. There is a saying: "One of the best times to find yourself is when you're lost." When I went to Turkey, I went with th... Steven D - University of California - Riverside View Entire Review
