Bao-Ngoc N The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was the the best experience of my life. I discovered that I am happiest in sitautions where I am constantly challeneged with new opporunities and meeting new people. I have also become more self-reliant. I realized I am interested in elarning more languages and hope to work and live abroad after gra..."

"I learned a lot about Japan, but the main benefit was the reaffirmation of what is important for me to have in my life back home. For me personally, I came to realize the importance of family and a solid foundation on which to enjoy life rather than getting caught up in the rat race that is Tokyo. "
Jake E Trinity University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of independence and appreciation for another culture. "

"Yes, I gained confidence in all my studies and met some wonderful people. "
Rebecca P Tulane University
"New experiences are always worthwhile, and wherever one chooses to travel/study there is wisdom to be gained. Interestingly enough, whenever I go abroad I feel more patriotic than ever, often long for people with familiar values/ways of conducting themselves, and find myself starting sentences with "In America we...". This sor..."
Douglas T Clark University
"I plan on working in Tokyo when I graduate so I would say this is a good indicator of my experience there. It changed my perspective on being American in a foreign city as well as being American in America. I met so many international people as well as native Japanese people and I feel like you can only get that experience if yo..."

"Yes! I loved my study abroad experience - it was challenging, but empowering."
Alison F Clark University
"Gain a great understanding of a culture that has expanding and prospered so fast in a short amount of time. Living in a fast culture also changes my habits and thinking into a more consistent and fast-pace decision. "
David L California State University - Fresno
"It was definitely worthwhile. It was tough being away in a new culture for so long, but it was so worth it. Also, Prague is super cheap and centrally located, so traveling and living were both very possible and affordable."
Cassie D University of Rochester
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile and beyond. I not only learned so much about the Czech Republic in my classes, but I really did feel as though experiencing every day life in Prague was a class in itself. I am so much more independent, have a new interest in EU politics and Central European history, and really feel as t..."
Sara G University of Rochester
"Absolutely. The academics weren't the most demanding but I wasn't there for the academics. I tell everyone that I was there because I wanted to experience the culture and I was taking classes becuase I wanted to graduate on time. Culturally, I couldn't have experienced anything better. I wanted to be in an African country that w..."
Jennifer S University of Rochester
"It was absolutely worth it! Since 2003 I have worked for a non-profit cultural exchange organization located in New York City. I sponsor J-1 visas to international students looking to come and work in the US during their summer vacations. I've had the opportunity to travel around the world to meet with university students and US..."
Alexis B
"Yes my study abroad experience was so worthwhile! I learned so much about the Argentine culture and I also learned so much about myself and really changed and grew as a person.I would say I try to have a much more balanced life now, and really make an effort to do that. I established some great relationships that I still maintai..."
Nicole H Wellesley College
"My worldview has been changed permanently. I no longer look at film, people and the world from a strictly American perspective. I've learned that one can adapt to (and adopt!) another culture without feeling like they've lost something of their native culture. Just the opposite! I feel like I could never have shaped this new per..."
Kelli S University of Colorado - Boulder
"I feel that Cape Town was the perfect place for me to be at this point in my life. I was in many ways incredibly independent there, more-so even than at Tulane, and I feel that I learned to rely on myself a lot more. I also greatly enjoyed seeing such a vibrant city, where cultures from such diverse areas of the world have meshe..."
A student
"Studying in Spain has honestly changed my life. I learned more about myself in those five months than I had in the previous 21 years of my life. I am now more outgoing, confident, and open minded. I can see the world through the eyes of others, and not only though the eyes of a middle class American. After studying in Sevill..."
Alison G Providence College
"My experience was absolutely amazing. I learned to fully put myself into a culture and that to be okay with feeling uncomfortable. I learned to live life slowly with no fear of the future. You will learn to love those around you, truly live in the moment and appreciate the beauty of life. "
Elaine H The University of Texas at Austin
"I chose this one because of the homestay option. I don't like to go partying and this way I would be able to use the language and hear it all the time without placing myself in an uncomfortable location. "
A student Hamline University
"I learned to adapt to my environment and not seem an ignorant American."
Sally S Wellesley College
"Yes, it was worthwhile and I am so glad I had the opportunity to do it. I learned about all kinds of different cultures and people. I learned a lot about myself and going there made me want to learn more about the world and travel more."
Michael M Providence College
"The experience was amazing. I met some incredibly interesting people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future. I not only learned a lot about film but also about myself. I think I changed as a person for the better."
