"I was mostly very fascinated and enamored with the indigenous culture found in Cuzco, Peru. Learning about their nation's history and then getting to meet and socialize with the natives was something I will never forget. The landscape and ruins were absolutely stunning. But most of all I feel as though I grew spiritually on this..."
Shaniquewa S Berea College
"I got to learn different country's approach to agriculture and experience a different culture. It was definitely worthwhile and I wish I didn't have to leave."
A student Berea College
"Too much to write about! Experienced a wide range of ecosystems and wildlife including watching sea turtles lay eggs on the beach and monkeys as abundant as squirrels. "
Sarah C Berea College
"I learned about an entirely new culture and way of life. I definitely think it had a positive effect on me and I would love to do it again, perhaps another country."
Fatima K Berea College
"It was so worthwhile! I gained a wider world view in (what I think) was the best way possible. Because Turkey is a modern secular nation with a past as an Islamic Empire, the evidence of both of these made for an extremely wonderful experience. It was the best of both worlds. I also got to interact with some of the friendliest a..."

"There is too much to explain in a little box... I not only learned may things in the classroom, from the host family, and simply by observing the culture."

"DEFINITELY"
Anna P 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
"I learned how to be academically disciplined and how to balance social and academic life."
A student Berea College
"I learned much about how my culture is similar/different from Italian culture. It was definitely worthwhile and I was able to be more well-rounded."
A student Berea College
"I learned that it is better to immerse yourself in another culture when given the opportunity. I learned so much about Japan while I was there, as opposed to reading a book. The locals will always know more than what a book or magazine describes. Overall, I would come back and live there if I could."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot about French Culture and about myself as well."
Jacob B Berea College
"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 felt like I learned more that way. I also got to see the most amazing places in my drawing class and I gained a new appreciation for drawing tha..."

"I learned that countries may separate us but there is an important human element that makes a country what it is. Spain is not a land mass, it is home to my family, to my friends, to beautiful culture and history and to adventures! It was sooooo worthwhile. I can't wait to go back. "
Sarah S Berea College
"Have fun whatever is going on in the situations"

"personal growth but not enough about the country"

"I learned so much. My french got better, and I learned in school, but I learned so much about myself and how to navigate being a person in the world in a way that I want to. It was such a transformative, beautiful experience that I will hold in my heart all my life. "
Makayla Day Berea College
"It was totally worthwhile. I learned that I am a direct speaker, that I am a capable person, that children (and therefore people) are all human and have the same basic drives and needs, and that the ocean is more vast than I have ever imagined. "
Shady C Berea College
"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 ..."

"No reservations! My journey begins and ends in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. A city that taught me that the world is a boundless place that is meant to be explored and learned. It taught me fierce independence that I never anticipated, the kind of contented alone that is not lonely. It is a journey I will never forget a..."

"I became more comfortable with myself when it comes to being independent and I met people and learned things that you can not learn from textbooks or TV shows"
