I learned that Europe is really small.And they don't have a lot of black people around. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective on life and more clarity in my career and personal goals. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
The experience was certainly worthwhile; I found myself looking forward to each new day in Cyprus knowing education and adventure awaited me simultaneously. I learned about Cypriot customs and even larger elements of Mediterranean culture that only a lived experienced could provide, which I am eternally grateful for. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned more about global events and seeing the US through a new light. It also gave me more motivation to learn a new language and some techniques to be a better speaker. Jada O - Wellesley College View Entire Review
As someone who had a very limited knowledge of Cyprus before attending this program, I would say that this program is a hidden gem. Not only did I gain an amazing story to tell, I got to live in a country I most likely would have never visited. I also came home with a cat! Ruby M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience was worthwhile. I was able to meet students from all over the world at an international school, travel to other countries, and build my portfolio in my classes. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Had a lot of opportunities to engage with fellow students and academics. Learned how to budget, navigate international transit, and became more mature. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to budget on my own, travel safely, and live in an entirely new place. I’ve always lived in the same area, and it was awesome to live elsewhere. I also learned a lot of Cypriot history, which was fascinating. Sophia F - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to figure things out when you're in an unfamiliar country. Specifically different transportation systems. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
How to live on my own and it was worthwhile. A student - Farmingdale State College (SUNY) View Entire Review
I learned that I am extremely grateful for things that are really small. I think the weekend trips and the experience was extremely worthwhile but I feel as though I wasted a lot of time in classes that I didn't need to be taking. A student - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I learned about a new culture and its history. I learned new systems of government and of healthcare. A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
Choose wisely before you select where you want to study abroad. Read lots of reviews. Do your own research. In my experience, I learned how to room with more than one other person. I also got more confident with taking public transportation. Sheldon Raney - Hendrix College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about what it means to be perceived as an American abroad.... how national identity impacts the contexts we are in. I also learned a lot about how my racial identity is perceived in different contexts, which I was pretty alert of prior to the experience, but witnessing it was different. I learn...

I learned a lot about Cypriot and Greek cultures, including the history of the lands I got to live in and visit. It was definitely worthwhile, especially if you are looking to have a laidback day-to-day experience rather than busy and on-the-go. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I'm grateful to have gained knowledge about a culture that is less work-centric than the United States. While at times the pace of life in Cyprus was shocking, I'm glad I was able to truly embrace it over the past few months. With the right community, I'd suggest this program to anyone as it's easier to make deeper connections w... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes, it was worthwhile! I learned that life while in college can be relaxing and fun while still learning a lot–it is not normal to have never have a free weekend ever Sofia K - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a lot of friends from a variety of backgrounds. I think my education at my home institution is better, but ti was an interesting experience. Edwin F - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a substantial amount of Greek, I learned more about travel and living alone/abroad. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I got to experience life on a tiny island and go to so many regions of the world I never thought I’d go. It was amazing. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I think it can be a very confidence-building experience, going into a country abroad where you know no one and being able to forge strong relationships. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained great friends A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, i loved the program administration and the people i met there. I gained friendships and incredible memories. Delores Nwokeafor-Laz - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I have a new cultural perspective and yes it was worthwhile A student - Wesleyan University View Entire Review
I gained a multitude of friends, and experienced different cultures that I would have never been able to if I hadn't studied abroad. Elizabeth Einstein - Illinois State University View Entire Review
