"It was worth every second. Taking an art history class abroad was a good experience. I actually got to go to all the sites that we were learning about instead of just seeing pictures.

"I have a better understanding of how others see me, my country, and my situation in general. I was not aware of how my place and my outlook can affect the repuation of my "people" in the home country so much. It is important to help others understand that everyone is different and everyone can have much more in common than expec..."

"Two major and new understandings: 1. Though Asians may look different, we aren't that different generally. 2. The Asian continent is actually very well developed that I had ever imagined.

"There is too much to describe and words will surely fail me here. Studying abroad teaches you so much. You learn in the classroom. I suppose that's the first thing. My courses were easier than the ones here at Berea College but that does not mean they were easy. I got something out of them and for that I am thankful. However, I ..."

"To be honest, the actual time spent in class was lackluster, at least with the classes I took, and the assignments were ridiculously easy. But the tours and on site lectures that the group had as a whole were really good, and there's a lot of opportunities to learn and do things on your own. The museums are amazing, and even if ..."
