"history, friendship, a fun time. YES!"
A student Berea College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I got to experience the culture, language, art and architecture of not only Paris, but also Chartres and Reims. I also learned that even though we all come from a specific country/culture, we all have things in common, and sometimes u get impressed of how alike people can be, in a good way of course..."
A student Berea College
"I learned much more than I expected. I loved the area and the people so much I am going back for a completely different reason this summer. I loved my experience but I know that its not the only experience I want to have. For me, this was the preparation experience. Now I'm going back to have my own adventure :)"
Carol B Berea College
"Yes! I gained a better understanding of the world around me, how it feels to be a minority, and immense independence. This experience has made me want to travel all over the world and given me the drive to do so!"
Katie D Berea College
"Yes and no. I learned things about myself and about the world and it has solidified some of my thoughts about future plans, etc. But it wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't the fantasy I had always imagined."
Anna S Berea College
"yes, very! I definitely improved with my language and speaking skills!"
Hannah F Berea College
"I learned some tricks to living cheaply in Europe. I would do the same program again, but I don't think I need to go back to Spain again on my own. "

Lucas W Berea College
"Need to do more reading outside of class"
Yifei L Berea College
"This experience was totally worthwhile! I loved being abroad and seeing another part of the world. It was not all that I expected, which is part of the reason it was worthwhile. Every day was not rainbows and butterflies, but all the experiences made me grow as an independent adult. This abroad trip also reinforced my future pla..."
Matt J Berea College
"Chile was amazing. It impacted me in such a way that my future plans are now to get my ESL teaching certification and return to Santiago to teach English. "
Tonya S Berea College
"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. My experience abroad had impacted my academic interest particularly in the area of peace-making. I realized practically how that more pea..."
Omowunmi S Berea College
"DEFINITELY"
Anna P Berea College
"First, my Spanish has improved tremendously from the beginning of my time in Merida to today. I have met so many new people, and made important contacts for possible future internships in Merida. Being in Mexico and seeing the discrepancy between the education in both city life and country life has solidified my desire to chang..."
Cassandra H Berea College
"I went into the experience as a blank slate--not really knowing what to expect but it turned out amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. I would like to take ALL THE TURKISH FOOD back to the USA!"
Raven W Berea College
"Though I could have chose a program closer related to my interests, the program provided a very holistic experience by offering excursion experience but leaving the rest to the student to discover."
Matthew C Berea College
"This was the most worthwhile experience of my life. My entire outlook on life has changed. I will continue studying Spanish until I am fluent and I also want to travel to more Spanish-speaking countries and experience the culture in as many of them as I can. "
Tonya S Berea College
"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..."
Whitney H Berea College
"Yes. I learned more about myself and I realized just how much is out there and I want to travel so bad!!! People are people no matter where you go and it's so great to meet them and see things from new perspectives. Get out there and do something!!"
Sarah R Berea College
"I feel I have a slightly better understanding of Japan, and some perspectives of other Asian cultures."
Daniel W Berea College
"I was able to learn more about people and see the way poeple act. From living here i was able to learn more about the world and why some places are different than others. There are just to many observations to be made to write them all down. You can only know if you go there. "
Eric B Berea College
"Yes - (Will write more later before submitting)"
Ruth W Berea College
"Yes it was worthwhile, i enjoyed it alot, and learned alot in a different educational and global setting. I have become more independent and practical."

Abby B Berea College
"It was, I learned many things but perhaps the most important was how much I enjoy my life, where I'm from and how important the people I love are to me. "
