I discovered the culture of a part of Europe I had not yet visited. It was great learning of the similarities and differences in both the language and the culture to other parts of Europe.

It was amazing and worthwhile Nicholas K - Bentley University View Entire Review
To explain the answer above, I would go to Italy again and do a host family, but I would want to chose a different school and do an actual program (not do it only through Bentley) Stacey R - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned to appreciate many things in America. Also realizing that there is much more out there than just material things in life. Seeing the world is the best experience anyone will go through. Tyler L - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned how to integrate myself into a new culture and how to be more independent. I learned to be more laid back and to let things just happen. It became obvious to me quickly that just because two nations are different doesn't make one better and one worse; there are both good and bad to every place in the world and it's i...

It's impossible to use words to describe everything I learned while abroad, but I can do my best. First off, I learned how to live independently and share an apartment with other people. I also became a much more savvy traveler, which will help me a lot in the future. More importantly, I learned a lot about myself and what thing...

I absolutely loved Italy, learned a lot about myself, and learned a lot about travel. Madelyn Loellke - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
It was a blast! I was lucky enough to have an internship there which helped me extremely! The culture and the lad back ease of life I miss as well as people just assume the best in others over there. It was great meeting friends too because everyone is in the same boat, either you mingle or you are alone. But don't be afraid to ...

I learned a bit about wine and architecture, and had some fun in between... It was very worthwhile A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned that in order to you gain a full experience, you must take risks. Going on this trip was a big risk for me and I definitely think it was worthwhile. I stepped way out of my comfort zone and loved absolutely every second of it. I would give anything to go back! Nicole M - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned about the history and culture of a place I had only ever seen in textbooks. It was extremely worthwhile. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned a great deal about myself and the person I want to be. As well as the people I want to have around me. Daniel J - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned much more about what it is to be a global citizen. In addition, I learned more about my family roots. It was the best experience of my life! A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I matured, opened up, and really learned a lot about myself while abroad. Going to a completely different place and culture is shocking, scary, and unpredictable and how you respond, react and learn is an amazing experience. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and more culturally aware. Studying abroad gave me the opportunity to see that the world has so much more to offer than what I had been used to. kellie.flaherty.5 - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Tolerance, Patience, Acceptance, Social skills, an better understanding of american culture, practical skills etc... Taylor G - Illinois State University View Entire Review
