Austin A 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! "

"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..."

George M 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..."
