"Although a lot was learned from the first component of the program (4 weeks of class), I feel students would have gained more from having a longer second component (4 weeks internship). "

A student Bentley University
"I learned a lot about interacting with different cultures. I also gained a huge sense of responsibility and maturity, because I went over to a city with minimal information, nowhere to live, and not much help prior to departure. So I became much more independent and I also am an accomplished cook now."
Joseph H Bentley University
"I gained a more worldly view on things. I now understand how Eastern Europeans think and act which will help in my dealings in international business. Also I can appreciate the little things of home. "
A student Bentley University
"The program wasn't probably worthwhile in the end for me, I live abroad already so studying at Bentley was already kind of studying abroad for me. I had an amazing time at Bond, and had fun while I was there. But the expenses wouldn't make me do it again."

"I had never been out of the US before, so it was very different to be around people from other countries all of the time. Because of that, I learned a lot about other cultures and made a lot of friends from other countries. It was 100% worthwhile to see the world from a different perspective, everyone should do it."
