"I learned many things about myself, and yes it was completely worthwhile. I would not do it again because I have already had that experience, so if I were to study abroad again I would stay with a host family."
A student Bethel University
"I learned about myself and the entertainment industry. I also learned about people from all over who come together with a common goal which is awesome to see when it works. This trip was more than worthwhile and I would recommend it to anyone who even has the slightest desire to work in entertainment. "
A student Bethel University
"Honestly I gained and learned SO much I can't possibly relate it all here. Most importantly I think though, was that I saw first hand how artist function and work in the real world - not just in a university. "
A student Bethel University
"I improved my Spanish so much. I learned to trust God. I learned to slow down and relax. I learned how to travel on my own and be more independent. I got to see how other people view life. It was totally worth it and I think everyone should study abroad for a semester cause you learn so much. But it seriously is really hard. "
Stephanie G Bethel University
"A bigger understanding of different cultures, traveling, and how to cope/adapt to change and constant moving around. The traveling aspect was an key advantage for landing an internship and a job for a big-name company that specializes in travel after I returned to the States. It was most definitely worth it! Even if I hadn't got..."

"I gained a lot. I now know how to navigate the city, ride the subway...my classes were great and I learned a lot from them. All in all it was a worthwhile experience. I want to go back and visit New York City, even though I wouldn't want to live there permanently. It is a great place with so much culture and art to see. It was s..."

"So much I cant put into words. I learned things about life and people. I learned about art and being a professional independent human being. I learned responsibility and safety. I learned about friendship, and about different races and backgrounds and passions. I learned about famous artists and how the professional art world wo..."

"Too much for words! It was worth every penny, every difficult moment, and the stories will last for years to come. "
A student Bethel University
"I learned to how to see the U.S from an outsiders perspective and to see differently than how my culture has taught me. I also grew closer in my relationship with God and learned how to better trust Him. "
A student Bethel University
"I gained a better understanding of both literature and foreign cultures. Given that this was precisely what I was hoping to get out of the trip, it was more worthwhile than I can communicate."
Stefan J Bethel University
"I learned that the Unites States way of living is only one way of living. I learned the pure joy of reading and studying particular authors and artists and their own life stories. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Bethel University
"I learned so much about culture, economics, and people in general. I was forced to step out of my comfort zone, invest in others, and love selflessly. I saw so much beauty in the Guatemalan landscape and people with whom I interacted. The experiences I've gained are priceless."
Abby E Bethel University
"See above. Definitely worthwhile. Loved everything I did down there. Grew a lot."
A student Bethel University
"This review may have made it sound like I disliked a lot about this trip, but this is the furthest thing from true. I gained several amazing new friends and together, we took advantage of every opportunity we could to have adventures. On a trip like this, where there is a great deal of free time, your experience and memories are..."

A student Bethel University
"Yes. So much."
Jane S Bethel University
"Getting introduced to South Africa was like being introduced to a part of myself and my own history I didn't know before. Because of the oppressive past and current issues now facing this vibrant country and continent, I was challenged to question certain aspects of the Western worldview as well as aspects of my faith. I didn't ..."
Selina P Bethel University
"I learned a little more of who I am, and I learned how to more faithfully live out that person in my everyday life. I learned that poverty is so different than what we think it is, than what I thought it was. Africa will be completely different than what you thought it was (even if you've been there before on missions trips). It..."
A student Bethel University
"I learned how to live on my own. I learned how to advocate for myself and not depend on my professors for guidance or friends for guidance. I also became a new me through exploring new things I like to do such as camping and hiking and cooking. It was totally worthwhile! I will never forget my experience!"
A student Bethel University
"With the friends and memories I made, i'll never regret it. "
