I learned how to interact in an international context and got a lot of vital traveling experience. Gained a ton of friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life. 100% worthwhile. A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review

People who have studied abroad come back and say they've been forever changed. But the truth is, it's hard to put that change into words or perspective for those who haven't had the experience of completely throwing themselves into another world countless miles away from familiarity. I learned to trust myself on things more and ... Kaylie A - University of Dayton View Entire Review

My experience being considered "worthwhile" seems like the understatement of the century. It was the most rewarding, incredible, invaluable and FUN experience of my life and I wish every single day I could do it all over again. I learned a multitude of things not only in the classes I took, bu mostly outside the classroom while ... A student - Lasell College View Entire Review
Meeting people from not only Australia, but places like Norway and Germany helps to give a great degree of cultural understanding. I did group projects with a girl from France, a guy from Thailand and a girl from China. Living abroad shows you just how much there is to see outside of the United States, and has shaped my future... Frank D - Clemson University View Entire Review

I had a friend who went through the exact same program a year prior, so I thought had an idea as to what to expect. However, the truth is, traveling abroad is something only YOU can experience and understand. No matter what other people say. The friends I made and the memories I will have forever on my trip to Australia are unex... Maren K - Drake University View Entire Review
Not having traveled much prior to studying abroad, the experience gave me the chance to meet such amazing people and see how many opportunities there are in the world outside of my home area. Amanda A - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I had a great time abroad. It made me realize that the world was a lot bigger than what I could have ever imagined. I would do it all over again if I had the chance! Devon C - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I have lived in the Midwest my entire life and haven't really left. Seeing other parts of the world and getting to meet people from all over the world changed my life. I am so different and cultured now. Even just becoming best friends with American students from all over the US changed me. Not to mention all the friends I made ...

I developed a love of travel and an unending desire to learn and grow. I wish to return to Australia in the near future. Laura S - University of Pittsburgh - Bradford View Entire Review
Studying abroad was the greatest decision i have ever made. I was able to see places that i had dreamed about and met so many great people. It is truly an enlightening experience because you get completely out of your comfort zone. Traveling is definitely a top priority now and i want to get out and see more of the world, meet n...

I wish I could relive the entire experience, and I would not change a thing. I still keep in touch with the friends I made while abroad, and plan on continuing to travel. Nicole O - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review

Going into this experience I never could have imagined how much I would end up gaining from it. I assumed I would see amazing sights, meet great people and try new things. I never realized though that in a quick four months I would find a new home, make friends that feel like family and do things I never thought I could do. Stud...

Gained independence, knowledge, friends, life time of memories, a broken ankle, and a new place to call home. Jess B - Quinnipiac University View Entire Review

I learned life lessons on how to handle relationships with my friends, family, and anyone in the world. The Australian way of life is greater than any other. I REGRET NOTHING Adam J - Bond University View Entire Review
From studying abroad not only did I learn a lot about the culture, but I learned a lot about myself. Being in Australia changed my life for the better and makes me want to travel the world. I think now from being abroad I try a lot harder at school because I want to go places in the world. Melissa P - Augustana College, Sioux Falls View Entire Review

Australia completely changed my life. It opened my eyes to an entirely new world (literally). I never realized how much there was to see outside of the United States, let alone my home town in Connecticut. Since my semester in Australia, I have already made further plans to travel through Europe and hopefully one day back to Aus... Katelyn F - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review

It gave me a new set of eyes in the world and helped influence my post-graduate career choice. I moved back to Australia a few months after I graduated (June 2010) and have been living and working here ever since. I never would have had the knowledge, confidence or even idea to go live abroad without my study abroad experience. ... Hannah D - Otterbein University View Entire Review

Absolutely..best 4 months of my life. Caused me to stay another 5 months after Steffan L - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
Traveling the world with people you have never met can absolutely change your life. By traveling to places like Fiji and Thailand while I was abroad, I have seen a way of life that I would have never known had even existed. It has put my while life into perspective and has made me grateful for the things I have as well as tole... Krista M - Pennsylvania State University - Abington View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was completely worth it. I made great friends, learned so much about myself, and had so much fun. I got to experiences so many things that most people don't get to do in a lifetime! I got to travel all around Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand and see amazing things! I highly recommend it! Casey R - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
ABSOLUTELY. I had to jump through many hoops to be able to get to go to Australia, but if I had all the time (and money) back again, I would definately spend it all the same. Janelle B - Drake University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent, flexible, spontaneous. I learned how to be a good planner, learned how to be good with directions, schedule, budget, and adapt to my surroundings. Maren M - Colorado State University View Entire Review
