Learned to be more independent, yes it was worthwhile A student - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
My time spent abroad was a wonderful experience that I would not take back. Through this program, I have grown as a person and learned things about myself that I would not have learned at my home university. This program allowed me to travel to 5 countries in less than four months, something I never thought would be possible. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
The Mediterranean program was really amazing. Traveling to Italy, Greece, and Spain for spring break was incredible! Life in Cyprus is nice and laid back. The schooling is also laid back, which is nice for traveling around. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review

I gained a lot of confidence and became more independent while here. When you're planning your own trips to other countries, there are so many aspects and components that you have to think about and because of this I believe I have personally grown.

It was a great time, tried to take advantage of all the opportunities I possibly could. Met so many amazing people and made friends that I know I will stay in touch with.

I also really enjoyed visiting the beaches and those activities, even though i was located in the only land locked city in cyprus. A student - Montana State University - Bozeman View Entire Review
