I gained a lot, mainly because i was dropped on my head. by knowing nothing i was forced to figure things out. i really got to know the city (mainly by getting lost) but i know and love it. i dont think there can be anything i cannot handle now. elizabeth p - Bentley University View Entire Review
Absolutely. Lucy B - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My abroad experienced made me realize how valuable cultural exchange is, and how necessary it is to be in the country to truly learn the language and to understand the people. There is so much to discover and experience; there are similarities and differences between countries and it is helpful to consider both to better underst...

In terms of learning German, probably not. This was particularly difficult, despite my best efforts. I did gain a much better understanding of Austrian politics, culture, and history through my study abroad experience.

It was worthwhile, but had definite drawbacks in terms of the culture in Austria (very xenophobic and unfriendly). It was also not as much of a help to my German language skills as I had hoped because the German spoken in Austria is very different from the German spoken in Germany and taught in America.

It hasn't changed my plans but I have a new appreciation for German culture and media. I would like to keep the language skills I have acquired and improve on them. Shu-Yen W - Wellesley College View Entire Review
