I learned that traveling and experiencing other places in the world is a priceless experience that everyone should try and do and it helps one become educated beyond the classroom to have experiences such as these. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

Yes A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was very worth while. I learned how to fully emerge myself in a culture that is quite different then our own. I also learned how to be patient with the differences between American and Australian culture A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to be an independent person and how to take care of myself. I also learned that it is important to make friends with the local people rather than just being friends with Americans only. It was definitely worthwhile but I don't think I would be able to live in Australia for a long period of time again. Rachel K - Middlebury College View Entire Review

yes - invaluable global and cultural exposure that I will never forget. Johnny P - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I got a once in a lifetime chance to attend a large foreign university, meet new people, and travel to amazing places. I got to see the US from an Australian point of view and I find that very useful now that I am back home. It is exactly as advertised, a great experience. Thomas D - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was unreal. I got to travel all around this beautiful country. It made me itch to travel more. It definitely awakened my interest in traveling and back-packing around the world. Melissa K - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile, I learned a lot about the Australian culture and the traveling was absolutely amazing. Alex P - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I mostly learned things about myself. That I love to travel and want to do as much of it as possible. I also learned the best way to experience another culture is not through books or online but in person. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was an eye opening experience in so many ways. It was definitely worthwhile! A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Learned to be alone yet also surrounded by an intermixed culture. Took a lot of risks- bungee jumping, skydiving, scuba diving and travelled to New Zealand and Fiji! 100% worthwhile Lindsay_9129 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was an eye opening experience. I understand what it means to take on more responsibility now. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Coming from a fast-paced urban background, it was refreshing to slow down and enjoy life through Sydney's easygoing lifestyle. It made me appreciate the balance between commercial activity and natural beauty in a city. With such a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, it's hard not to smile and enjoy the abundant sunshine with the ... VY - Cornell University View Entire Review

Yes very worthwhile. Learned a lot about Australia and how America is perceived from other parts of the world. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learnt about different cultures, how to function on my own in a foreign country and how to be even more independent- even though I've been abroad on my own before A student - Barnard College View Entire Review
YES. The study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. It made me realize that I could live abroad for the rest of my life and be very happy with it. It's made me reconsider my future plans of always living on the east coast and being able to potentially consider a career at a job with an office in Sydney. Marissa H - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Incredible. I could write a book about it. Thomas R - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I figured out things I didn't want to studya and I ended up making life long friends. Lorena U - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
