This way first experience studying abroad in a country where I did not speak the native language. This experience gave me more confidence to break out of my shell and be okay with feeling awkward or uncomfortable. It was definitely worthwhile. Kadidia K - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Overall, I did enjoy the time abroad in the host city. the culture was something like I had never experienced before and I do miss the lifestyle. I would like to visit Korea again just maybe not as a student A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Korean culture and language, balancing school and fun, independence and confidence with travel, and the value of friendships and fun. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to be more outgoing, and I also learned how different the world is from each other, wether it be cultural differences or social norms. studying abroad is definitely worth it and I encourage students to have the same journey Destiny Weekes - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I gained one of my best friends who I spent most of my time while abroad. I got better at my Korean speaking skills. Myani Grey - Marymount University View Entire Review
Learned about not only Korean culture but also others around the world through the help of other International students I became friends with while there! A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
The whole experience was definitely worthwhile, as living so far away from my family forced me to have to learn more myself and how I deal with different situations on my own. I also primarily went abroad in order to find out what career path I wanted to go towards with my life, and enrolling in certain classes abroad truly help...

I learned language skills, the ability to work and communicate with people, determination, and patience. It was definitely worth it. MacKenzie Kirkham - Birmingham-Southern College View Entire Review
I learned to be independent and push my boundaries. I gained new friends, and learned to not be afraid of new experiences. Stephanie Chin - California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo View Entire Review
I learned to travel by myself, and how rewarding that experience is. Many people thought I was lonely, but I got to appreciate everything at my own pace, without having to worry about whether others are bored, or hungry, or tired. In focusing on myself, I also learned about my abilities and limits. Overall I grew as a person, be... Lauren Yan - Carnegie Mellon University View Entire Review
The single most worthwhile thing i gained from my experience abroad were the relationships I formed with the people there. I was able to make great friends both in Korea and international students in Korea. I still keep in touch with them months after my program has ended. My worldview has also broadened by spending time with th... A student - Stevens Institute of Technology View Entire Review
I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. I was critical of the US before coming to Korea, and being here made me more critical. It made me think more about where I wanted to end up in my future. I grew more confident, I learned to speak up more, and I learned not to place my self worth and value in someone else's hands. I l... Taneisha Brown - Cottey College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile! I think I learned a lot about being independent. Jami J - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Korean culture and I think it was worthwhile A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Korea was DEFINITELY worthwhile and I would definitely come back again! I would say that it helped I was interested in Korean pop music before I came to Korea. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a bunch of helpful phrases and built my independence (budgeting, etc) A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My entire experience abroad was amazing. The TEAN program really went above and beyond with the orientation, the semester excursions, and the support while I was over there. I felt like I was in great hands being a part of their program, and was able to see and experience so many different things. I learned so much about Korea a... Sonja Waitkus - California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo View Entire Review
I learned a lot about culture and how different countries perceive americans. I also learned a lot about myself - being in a foreign country learning how to be a semi-self-sufficient semi-adult. I discovered new hobbies, made new friends all in different stages in life, and through study abroad, I have a better sense of the diff... Mei S - Pace University View Entire Review
Every country will have its great qualities and its really bad qualities. It took me a while to adjust to the differences but I eventually fell in love with country after I decided to rely on myself and show myself around the country more. Exploring the city showed me so much culture and I became much more confident and independ... A student - Birmingham-Southern College View Entire Review
I learned that the world is an extremely big place and people can get caught up in their tiny bubble. The most worthwhile thing you will ever do as long as you are open to learning. Amaie Gebregzabheir - Metropolitan State University of Denver View Entire Review
I loved the independence I gained from it. I rode subways by myself, learned how to coexist within a different language, and was able to try these amazing new foods and meet great new people. The friends I made from my study abroad experience I think I'll be friends with for a long time. I also gained new insight to how the othe... Jenny - University of Central Florida View Entire Review
I know that I want to travel more now. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned about an Korea's amazing culture as well as other people's cultures due to the large portion of international students. I learned how to speak a bit in a new language which inspired to become determined in learning to speak new languages to be able to communicate with different types of people. I gained so many lifelon... Mitchell Brown - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned that it is very important to know some of the language when you travel to different countries. I learned what it feels like for people in a country to see someone and something different for the first time and to deal with that reaction with positive reinforcement and communication. It was definitely worthwhile for me. Maya Smith - University of Hartford View Entire Review
