Learned how to take a step back and actually enjoy life, rather than having a perpetual goal at all times.

There are so many things you gain from studying abroad that I can't even list them all here. You need to go study abroad!! It's not just worthwhile its soo much more that there isn't even a word for it Olivia B - Clemson University View Entire Review
Many things, but what I really took from my experience was seeing what it was like to be a foreigner. Doing everyday things was more of a challenge and it was really great to be able to successfully communicate using a second language. Of course it was worthwhile!

I learned to be more independent and see the world in a new way. I gained a new sense of responsibility and appreciation for the people and world surrounding me. It was one of the best decisions I have made, and I would not change it for anything. Brynn V - University of Nevada - Reno View Entire Review

In the end it was worth every penny that I spent. I am now friends with many Americans across the U.S. I am more global aware of economical and political issues, as well as I'm more aware of what people in Europe like/dislike. A student - University of Texas - Arlington View Entire Review
