"I learned so much about myself and the world around me"
A student Berea College
"I have a deeper appreciation for culture abroad and my own culture in America. I understand things about my friends who are international students that I never really got until I left the country."
Amy S Berea College
"I really learned to appreciate my life in America and not take things for granted. Simply hearing people regularly speak English, or having fast food to go to is something I took for granted in the US. After traveling, I am beyond grateful for my life. "
Mackenzie C Berea College
"I learned about a lot, not just about Japan's culture, but I learned more about myself. Who I am as a person. "
holly h Berea College
"I learned so much. Korean culture is amazing and has so much depth to it. Daegu is a wonderful city and I miss it so much. I also found a church of Christ in Daegu, which I went to every week. Best experience of my life, 10/10."
Gwendolin C Berea College
"Any travel is worth while especially internationally because you gain a new perspective of the world. "
holly h Berea College
"I learned a lot about the comparable and contrasting aspects of European culture vs. American culture. I had many great conversations with Austrians about how our cultures compared."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot, I gained a lot more confidence in handling daily needs by myself (ex. buying a phone card, ordering food, etc). I also gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Greek culture, and the different varieties of it in different areas of Greece. It was definitely worthwhile and I would love to go again!"
Hannah R Berea College
"It was worthwhile but I certainly would have done some things differently next time. I think I relied too much on expecting the professors/administrators to give us all the information we would need and they really left it up to us to research transportation/food in the cities we visited."
A student Berea College
"I think I've come to a really neat understanding of just how vast history is. We viewed art, architecture, and ruins that date back millennia. It's incredible to see how young you are in comparison to some of that stuff. It was really eye-opening and humbling. I also found it very nice to escape from the US for awhile... I loved..."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot about how to be adaptable, and it's so eye opening to see how other people live."
Tammi H Berea College
"Yeah, i learned a lot about interacting with new people."
A student Berea College
"I learned that I love to travel with groups of people my own age. "
A student Berea College
"It increased my curiosity to see more places, and meet new people different from me. It increased my interest on learning Spanish, learning tango, and learning how have a healthier lifestyle. It made me more tolerant to people, and more tolerant to opinions/ beliefs that are different from mine. It increased a sense of collectiv..."
A student Berea College
"I believe it was worthwhile because I feel it is important to have certain experiences at certain stages in life and after being a college student, I feel experiencing another country to be a good step"
A student Berea College
"I learned how to navigate myself through a large city. I was definitely worth it. "
Casey P Berea College
"I learned to be more independent than I already was as well as how to plan my own trip abroad in the future. "
A student Berea College
"I learned a whole lot about how others experience our amazing world. It is worthwhile to see the world from someone else's perspective so that we can make better decisions for ourselves and others."
Joseph M Berea College
"I learned how to get around through public transportation and I also learned to appreciate the things I might sometimes take for granted in the U.S. like air conditioning, water, and electricity. I learned about the Spanish culture and how different it is than my culture. It was definitely worthwhile and an experience I will alw..."
Yesica C Berea College
"I gained a new non-US centric way to look at the world. So much of my personal experience and media exposure has been from a US perspective. Going abroad for such a substantial amount of time (relatively) helped me to realize the variety of most people's experiences. It was incredibly worthwhile."
A student Berea College
"I learned a great deal about the world in general and about travel and interacting with others, as well as about the culture and art in Italy. "
A student Berea College
"I made several friends who I was able to practice Chinese with (some who are fluent and some who are learning) and will keep in contact with. The Chinese course itself was also engaging and provided great practice with writing in addition to speaking and reading. Outside of the education component, Chiang Mai was a wonderful cit..."
A student Berea College
"I gained an experience I will never forget. In a way, as a student, I get to be a more observant of these countries then the average tourist. I took photos and edited them and made art out of them, and I made illustrations of different locations, which really helped me to solidify them into my memories. I captured the essence of..."
Shaylee H Berea College
"I am glad I got to explainer new countries and cultures in a safe environment."
A student Berea College
"It was worthwhile, I learned a few phrases in Arabic to communicate with locals, I learned the history of monuments, and buildings, and how it has shaped Egypt now. I learned new soft skills such as being flexible with changes, open-minded to a different atmosphere and being curious about what we encountered. "
