"During my experience abroad, I gained lots of friendships from the locals as well as the other Americans from different schools who were also studying at the American Farm School. I also learned quite a bit about Greek culture and agriculture in Greece. I definitely believe that this trip was worthwhile!"
A student 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
"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!"

"I learned, most importantly, that I can go alone to a major city and just walk and be by myself. I discovered more about myself in those three weeks than all of my other US based vacations combined. I would recommend it as it was very worthwhile. "

"I learned how to navigate in a foreign place and assimilate to another culture. It was definitely worthwhile and will remain in my memory."
A student Berea College
"I learned to be more independent. I thought I couldn't explore a huge foreign city by myself, but with map in hand and some knowledge of French (and prayer for safety), I knew I could conquer this place."
Joseph A Berea College
"Very worthwhile! I gained an appreciation for all the small things in life that I took for granted on a regular basis. "
Abby C 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
"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 ..."

Trena P Berea College
"I gained a deeper understanding not only of other cultures, but of my own as well. It taught me that I do not want to live in America all my life. I want to travel and live abroad for at least a little while. This expirence opened my eyes to the world. It was one of the most worthwhile things I've done in my life."

Katherine S 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
"I learned a lot about West African culture and how everything is not necessarily how it appears in American media. This trip was very worthwhile because I feel that I learned a lot about my culture and why society is the way that it is now."
Le'Shae D Berea College
"It definitely helped me see what it was like to travel. And although I was with a group I think it helped me have the courage to plan for traveling on my own later in life. And it definitely helped me respect and admire the culture. I have only seen Middle Eastern culture as it is portrayed on TV, but with this trip I got to ..."
A student Berea College
