"I gained a deeper insight on what I want to do in life and my next step in my academic career. I also learned so much about Japanese culture that I would never had learned if I did not go to Japan. I also gained the ability to be more confident in myself. This study abroad trip was indeed worthwhile. "

A student Berea College
"Wow. Okay, big question. I can't even begin describe how much I learned from my study abroad experience. I gained a lot of exposure to other countries/ cultures, traveled extensively, and performed well in new academic and social environments. I grew in courage and self-confidence. Now, I feel like I can travel just about anywhe..."

"It is nearly impossible to write in this box what I learned from this experience so quickly after it has ended, but I will say that it is certainly worthwhile. If you want a fulfilling study abroad experience both academically and socially/culturally, I would highly recommend choosing an SIT program (especially the Balkans!)"

"Studying abroad is an experience you can't compare to anything else: it makes you reexamine your culture and beliefs, pushes you out of the comfort zone, helps you learn a language... but all of these cliches don't even begin to do justice to the overall value of this experience."

"I learned a plethora of archaeological skills and lab-work, I can apply to my career. I learned the hardships of traveling in another culture. I experienced a world focused on completely different things and I got to think about how my culture responds to them. I am more capable now to provide support for my friends abroad and ..."
A student Berea College
"I discovered what it was like to have relationship with a city. Galway is big enough to be interesting and alive and small enough to be friendly and intimate. I learned so much about myself, my ability to take care of myself with very little support. I learned about a culture and place that I thought I already knew something abo..."
A student Berea College
"I learned a great deal about myself and how quickly I can adapt to a strange location. Though I was met with challenges (language barrier) and the timing was poor (during the holidays, away from family), I believe the trip was worthwhile. I would definitely recommend it to anyone! "
A student Berea College
"I learned about the various cultures in which I was submerged. It was amazing to see the differences that the Greek culture has from American culture. It was definitely worth while to have experienced this adventure."
