Appreciate life more, because the most unexpected change can happen, and you never know when your life will change A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned so much about being on my own and having to figure things out in a new country. I grew as a person, matured, gained insight into how I best interact with others, and also gained so many treasured cultural experiences. It was 100% worthwhile and I wish I could do it over again every semester. Madison White - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
I gained a greater appreciation for south america, its cultures and some of its history. It was absolutely worthwhile to be able to experience such a different kind of culture. It was also fantastic to be able to meet other students from all over the world and experience such a new place and language with them. Lawrence Duke Schaeffer - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
Very much so. It has helped me become less controlled by stress. I have been forced to step out of my box and just live my life. While I am still very organized I do not feel the need to plan out ever single little aspect of my life. Allison T - Hamline University View Entire Review

I have a whole new appreciation for the U.S.A. and will love to travel more but appreciate my home country more than ever. Julia W - Kansas State University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, I just wish there had been more resources available to us in that country from my program. Other programs (e.g. IFSA Butler) had separate orientation programs for this specific study abroad program. It was a way to meet other people in the same program, and they were provided with more guidance and counselin... Whitney M - Hamline University View Entire Review
I'm definitely blessed and grateful to have met such wonderful people. However do to my own personal demise I was having a hard time adapting. From a sociologist perspective, Chile can seem like a pretty grim place, set up against the minority, just like the United States. But as a student it was a great place and experience.
