destinee.tyson Berea College
"I gained some self awareness and learned things about me that I never would have known. Being African American and going to Africa to see where my people were taken from was a breath-taking experience, something I will never forget. Being in Africa even for that short amount of time brought about humility, love, and patience tha..."

A student 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
"My whole experience was the opposite of my initial uncertanity about muslims in general. Turkey having 99% muslim population, I expected people to be unfriendly, but I was surprised by their hospitality. I realized that the picture we some times get from the media is totally different from what happens in reality. I am planning ..."
Mathews K Berea College
"The traveling I did before classes started taught me that I can travel anywhere."

A student Berea College
"I learned about temples, the language and a lot about myself. It was worth both my time and my money."
Bethany B Berea College
"I gained a new perspective of the world. The ignorant stereotypes that Americans have about the rest of the world are false and no one should never jump to negative assumptions. The people were very accommodating and very friendly. I have gained lifelong friendships and everlasting memories. I felt slightly depressed when I retu..."
Johanna H Berea College
"Oh gosh it was so worthwhile. I gained new perspective on my own country, and others."
Emily Grace S Berea College
"I learned a lot about non-American culture and my skill with the Spanish language improved vastly"
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 about America and other countries' view of us and other forms and parts of government. I met some amazing people and learned various ways how to navigate and get places, among many other things."
TansyDawn 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
"I learned that the beauty in the world is found when you are seeking it, that friendships can be strained by 12 hour bus rides, and that I love Turkey even more than I thought I would. It has encouraged me to travel abroad more and to try and go back whenever possible!"

Zak A Berea College
"I gained knowledge on the culture of spain and the differences in how community works. It was honestly a different way of life and I appreciated how well the host family integrated us in there home. I also loved the free time we was given to explore on our own. "
Lawren Brinley Berea College
"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!)"
George M Berea College

Ugo Onwuka Berea College
"Table manners."
A student Berea College
"I became more aware of international events, learned several delicious recipes, learned how to speak "proper" English, found a great balance between keeping my American culture and integrating in English culture, learned more about who I am as a person, was able to make new priorities, appreciated the architecture, and all in al..."
