All of my professors were very qualified and experienced in the subjects that they taught me.

"I learned a lot about international travel, Danish culture, and living independently. "

"Absolutely! Studying abroad should be a requirement for every American college student, regardless of area of academic study. Our world is too small and shrinking too fast for our students to not have first-hand knowledge of another country."

"I became more comfortable speaking Italian, and traveling alone. The program definitely expanded my cultural awareness; for the most part I didn't experience much culture shock moving from NY to Rome, but there are some differences I had to get used to."
Elizabeth e American University
"I learned a lot of italian, I learned a lot about the culture and politics of Rome and the history of Italy in general. It was worth every penny, every second, and even worth all the stress that came along with the visa appointments and the roommate issues, it was still amazing and I would do it all over again. "

I made amazing friends - most of which were other American exchange students, however some friends were local students. The scho..."

"Egypt is always worthwhile. There is a reason it is called "Um al-Dunia," Mother of the World. There is so much life to learn from in Cairo. Egypt taught me that nothing is black and white and everything is connected. I've gained independence, further curiosity about the world, and a feeling of investment in culture, people,..."

"Studying abroad itself was a worthwhile experience. However, a lot of damage was done to my psyche and made me quit the acting profession, a godsend if you really ask me. "
