I gained an intense understanding of different cultures and managing my self in different situation as well as working with many different types of people. It was an intense maturing experience. Alexander Milton Pliskin - Columbia University View Entire Review
I became a much more responsible individual, keeping track of everything and not buying things I didn't need. I learned how to budget and get by with a minimal understanding of a language, as well as becoming more aware of different cultures and customs. It was 100% worthwhile. Zechariah Meisel - Mercer County Community College View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained a knowledge of myself and of this world that is unachievable anywhere else. Callie Stukel - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
