My experience in Haifa was totally worthwhile. I would define Israel as a microcosm because its melting pot of cultures and religions, sacred and profane has been giving me the opportunity to grow up at the same time as a student and as a person.

My interactions with my professors, as well as my fellow international students, solidified my time here in Israel as one of the most meaningful periods of my life.

I learned how to be independent. Definitely worthwhile! I feel like I have changed and grown so much as a person. Anna - Elon University View Entire Review
I became more independent, confident, self-aware, and determined. The experience definitely forced me to go out of my comfort zone sometimes to get what I needed done and ask for help when I needed it. It was extremely rewarding and I know many of the lessons I learned while abroad will stay with me. Michelle Kaplun - Boston University View Entire Review
