I became a much more independent and confident person after studying abroad. Living in a new city with a different language and culture pushed me out of my comfort zone. Traveling to many countries and cities with other students taught me to be more independent. Studying abroad was extremely worthwhile. SHELBY R - Tufts University View Entire Review
Absolutely! Most importantly, you learn about yourself, people in general, how the world works, and things like that. You will be left with many questions to ponder. A student - Fordham University View Entire Review

I learned a lot about myself and about the United States' place and impact in the world. Living with a host mom helped me see life through the eyes of someone from a very different culture.

Absolutely! I learned a lot about myself, made new friends with whom I will keep in touch for the rest of my life, improved my Spanish, learned a lot about Spanish art and culture, expanded my horizons through travel and new experiences, and made great connections with my host family.

The experience gave me a taste of the people and lifestyle in Spain. Due to its conservative culture, I appreciate the freedoms we have in the U.S. even more. Matthew F - Tufts University View Entire Review
It was the most worthwhile experience of my entire life. I learned to speak Spanish fluently, learned to sleep while my roommate gently snored one foot away, and learned how to eat a prawn buried in Paella that still has his head on. Jenni M - Syracuse University View Entire Review

Definitely worth going abroad. There is so much to learn from people that live in different countries and have different customs that you. Europe is a great place to go because travel is easy and usually pretty cheap. Ross Y - Syracuse University View Entire Review
Changed my life. There are beautiful people all over this planet with incredible originality and uniqueness, and I plan on seeing as much of that beauty now that I've studied abroad. I also realized how much the US impacts the entire world, and how little we really understand about all the other countries and peoples we influenc... Megan R - Trinity University View Entire Review

Yes. It helped me to relax i was getting really bogged down at school here and it was really nice to get away and have fun and learn in a less stressful environment.
