"So much language! I am so happy to have experienced an international internship because I feel that I can do anything in terms of work now that I have experienced work in a totally different culture"
Liz S Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I tell all my friends that they need to go abroad. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I truly loved every minut of it. "
A student Fordham University
"I learned that I do not want to work in the public health sector, but instead want to focus more on neuroscience. While in hindsight I would not have gone on this program because I would've liked to focus more on neuroscience research, this experience allowed me to learn more about myself and my future career path."

"Gosh I learned so much about myself, my country, and how Australia and the USA fit into the global community. I can't believe I ever questioned whether or not to study in Australia. I have also studied in Europe (traveling to 9 countries there) and my Australian experience outdid them all hands down."
Rachel S Fordham University
"I learned how much more of an effort it takes to learn a language than the lackadaisical approach that I had taken in the past. It was a worthwhile experience, especially the internship."
A student Brandeis University
"This experience was very worthwhile as I was exposed to a city that I had only read about quite a few times in my international relations courses and in my extra curricular activities. it was therefore good to experience the international Geneva that I had always read about."
A student Brandeis University

"I am much more open to other cultures and much more independent. "
A student Fordham University
"It was definitely worth while. I felt more comfortable living with American students but also got to interact with locals through my internship. I also enjoyed my classes, and learned things about the British culture through them as well."
A student Fordham University
"My time abroad was worth while. I gained a new understanding of different cultures. I also gained an appreciation for my own home and country. "
A student Fordham University
"I learned how to live on my own from thousands of miles away from home. I learned how to budget my money. I learned how to associate with the people of Australia. I gained experience with my internship in the post-production field. Everything was absolutely worthwhile. "
A student Fordham University
"Living abroad in London was an amazing experience and I wish I could do it all over again. London is such a diverse and exciting city. I learned a lot about myself and my interests. "

"stepping outside your comfort zone is the best thing you can do for yourself. I went skydiving-something I never thought I'd do! "
A student Brandeis University
"The friends I made and the situations I encountered during my internship allowed me to broaden my perspective and learn more about myself in a working environment. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. "
A student Brandeis University
"Living abroad taught me how narrow my scope of the world was before I came to Sydney, and I loved all the experiences I had and the people I met. The lifestyle and environment is completely different, and I hope I can go back again one day!"
Aanchal C Boston University
"I really enjoyed the experience - we must have been to every museum in London and we also managed to get to other places in England and to France and Italy The most valuable thing I got from my program was probably the internship experience at a law firm, which is hard for undergrad students to get in the US. "
Katy B Trinity University
"Most of what I learned was due to my internship at a small social media public relations company. My coworkers were fantastic and really made me feel like a part of the family. They took very good care of me, and going to work was one of the best experiences of my life. "
Shirley L Trinity University
"I am so glad I chose to study abroad. I learned so much about myself and the world around me. This experience was easily the highlight of my college career and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was an incredibly worthwhile experience and I'd recommend it to every student. "
