Ebony A Berea College
"It was absolutely worth it. I learned more about the ever-important skill of balancing academics with "normal life". It was a challenge to manage time in academics and play/travel/exploring. There are little things I would do differently, but I would do it again in a heart beat. "

brooke f Berea College
"I made some fantastic friends, and with them I got to experience a bit of British culture -- or British uni culture, at least. Also, experiencing a different academic system, one in which I was able to focus more specifically on my chosen field of study, was beneficial.

"When they say you learn a lot about yourself when you study abroad, they're not kidding. Definitely worth it just for that. My Spanish is so much better, and I have the confidence to use it even when I know I'm messing up. "

A student Berea College
"I learned to live a differen lifestyle and deal with ambiguity. In the US, people always rush everywhere and try to do everything at once. Life is very stressful and necessarily productive.

"I learned that nothing is as it seems. Western culture loves to portray India as just a poor country that is dirty and overpopulated. But the people of India are just trying to live and be happy just like we are. We take so much for granted in America, I appreciate the little things so much more."
