"I learned how to adapt to a slightly different culture and take the best from both worlds. It was certainly worthwhile as we did so much more than stay in London."
Brian C Villanova University
"I absolutely loved my experience in Singapore. It was honestly the best decision I made coming into College. I learned so much about the Asian culture and what it is like to live on the other side of the world. The traveling that we were able to do was incredible to Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indo..."

"100% worthwhile. The program itself still has some kinks that need to be worked out. However, Singapore is a fantastic city and a great place to be for business. It is quite different from anything I'd ever experienced before. I gained a new appreciation for various cultures and gained a much greater understanding of global ..."

"I became much more independent during my time abroad--even more so than at Villanova. I became very comfortable navigating the city, and planning travel/traveling to other cities in a group of students. The internship component also gave me great insight into international business and the Public Relations sector."
A student Villanova
"The abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. Not many universities allow freshmen to study abroad, let alone intern as well during their first year. Being able to study in a foreign country, immersing in the local culture, and working there is a privilege. The whole trip was wonderful. Going to Singapore was definitely o..."

A student Villanova University
"I learned a lot about culture differences in the workplace and teaching standards. It was very difficult and definitely not for slacker students. Only the internship makes it worthwhile, but yes, it was worthwhile."
A student Villanova University

"I learned about other cultures while at the same time becoming a more independent person."
A student Villanova University
"I got to see a completely different learning style and worked on time management. I got to meet people and travel to places that I would never get the chance to do without abroad. I learned how to make the most of opportunities and deal with being so far from family. "

"Yes"
A student Middlebury College
"It was an experience of a lifetime. Between living in London, traveling, gaining valuable work experience, and taking classes in an international setting, I can't think of a better way to spend 4 months. It was very rewarding to experience foreign cultures first hand and to then put in the time to understand why certain cultur..."
