I learned about so many different cultures. I was able to not only meet Australians, but many international students from Norway, Italy, and other countries that I still keep in touch with. I gained a passion for traveling and also learned that I can be independent. Lucy Caroline Almberg - Stonehill College View Entire Review
Exposed to marine science classes which I loved! Got to travel A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent, but also utilize the resources that I have. I learned when to ask for help and not be afraid to say you don't know about something. It was definitely worthwhile because you have to be vulnerable and take chances to ever learn or gain anything worth having! Mariah Ouellette - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I wholeheartedly believe that every student should experience studying abroad at least once in their life because of the TEAN program. I gained a new type of independence and confidence that my home university could have never have taught me. Tiffany Bell - Hope College View Entire Review
I learned what was important to me and how to prioritize better things in my life. I learned how to not be as hard on myself and enjoy life more and worry less about things that I can not control Ellie Peoples - Furman University View Entire Review
It was the best experience of my life. I always knew I wanted to study abroad, but it was more than I expected. It allowed me to grow up and learn away from any familiarity. I had to learn how to save money and spend it wisely, how to learn from a new university with different expectations, how to ask for help, and how to handle... Kathryn Church - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I learned that stepping out your comfort zone will make you a better person. The experience was worthwhile because it gave me the ability to learn about another culture other than my own. I learned so much about people. I also learned that there is such thing as peace. Being back home in New York City and back at school in Conne...

Through the culture lived in Australia I learned to be more stress free. I learned to take time to explore and be more independent. The experience was amazing and I wish I could do it all over again. Ximar C - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned entirely too much to put into words. I gained so much from this trip. I got to see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, I met so many people from all over the globe, and I gained independence. I was able to put my phone down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and people and never get bored. This trip was defini... Chelsey H - University of Southern Indiana View Entire Review
Going to Australia has probably been one of the best experiences of my life. From learning a new culture firsthand; understanding science, nutrition, and government policy with an Australian perspective; and learning the high's and low's of becoming a certified barista, I never in my life thought I would have this knowledge of a... Ariel B - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and my personality. One thing I discovered is that no matter how different someone might seem to you when you first meet them, you can have a lot of things in common with them. Some of my closest friends while abroad were people I probably would not have approached back home. A student - Purdue University View Entire Review
I learned about people from all over the world and how their lives differ from mine in the United States. Studying and living abroad opened my eyes to various world issues and made me a much more independent and confident person. This experience was absolutely worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat! A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
My time abroad was extremely worthwhile and I learned more there than I ever could have if I would've stayed at my home University. I learned so much about myself and what I am capable of handling and how much the world has to offer if you just put yourself out there and let yourself experience something new. A student - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
This trip was very worthwhile. This trip allowed me to experience a month of on the go immersive learning while meeting some of the best people I have met in my life. Nick Robinson - University of Central Florida View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and to cooperate with others because everyone is working with different schedules. It was difficult at first, but once you find a routine, then it is much easier and the time will just fly by! Marina Renzi - Stonehill College View Entire Review
I learned a ton while I was abroad. I became a lot more independent and overall grew a lot as a person. Marisa - University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point View Entire Review
Gained invaluable intercultural skills and a new sense of independence. Thomas Sullivan - Elmhurst University View Entire Review
I learned so much about Australian culture and my own American culture while abroad, and coming home. I also gained a great amount of self-awareness and learned how to live independently in a city and navigate public transportation. Studying abroad helped me gain confidence, self-understanding, and gave me the travel bug. I love... Caroline Grady - Stonehill College View Entire Review
Yes, studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile. I learned how to understand other cultures better. Furthermore, I did so many amazing things in Australia that I still can't believe I did. Emily Manteufel - Concordia University - Wisconsin View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I was bit of a shy person before studying abroad. I gain more social skills and learned a lot about myself. I feel like I can take on any country now! Ryan B Brown - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I loved the experience of being tossed into a new environment and school and allowed to live like an adult and do what I want. The apartment was a great setup, my roommates were awesome, and the university was rigorous and challenging. I learned how mature I can be, reaffirmed my beliefs in certain aspects of myself and the worl... A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Going to Australia with The Education Abroad Network was the most amazing and best experience I have ever chosen in my life. Throughout the experience of going abroad I became more independent and confident. I learned so much about my culture and myself as well as other cultures. I met people from all over the world and travele... Lauren L - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
During my study abroad experience I learned how to live and adapt in a brand new environment. I gained lifelong friends and memories that will stick with me forever. This was without a doubt worthwhile. When people ask me for stories it's difficult to choose just one. Everyday was an adventure and I wish it wasn't over. Neal L - The University of Queensland View Entire Review
It was the best decision I have ever made. I learned so much about myself, other cultures, and about life. It has made me a better person today and has prepared me for many more adventures. Brittany S - Mount Ida College View Entire Review
My semester in Brisbane, Australia, was the most unforgettable and exciting semester of my undergraduate career thus far. As a Zoology major, I chose to take classes unique to the Australian environment (like Coral Reefs) and had the amazing opportunity to conduct research with an Honors student based on gecko behavior. I crosse... Ashley H - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
