"I learned so much more about myself as well as various cultures while living in Cape Town. I gained independence and a new perspective of the world from my stay in South Africa. "
Allyson C Boston University
"I learned to enjoy everything in an experience, especially what seems bad initially. Those will be the things you laugh about with your friends when your back in the states."

"I learned about foreign ecology and culture, and about the US through interacting with my fellow students. I learned about myself and what I want to do for the rest of my life. I am very happy I did this program and I would love to return to NZ and AUS."

"The experience was definately worthwhile. I would recommend going somewhere as different from what you're used to as possible. Being somewhere with a different culture and language is very eye-opening."

"Yes! You just achieve a whole other level of independence by living abroad, especially if you go without your usual group of friends from home. It's a rare opportunity to travel to another part of the world and really immerse yourself in a different culture. "

"My study abroad experience was fantastic. I learned so much about myself and the European culture. I was able to travel while studying and see as much of the city as I desired. I have since been back to London two times and can't get enough. I would love to study abroad again in the future. "
Leah L Boston University
"I learned how to relax and not preoccupy myself with unneccesary worries. I also learned a lot at my internship that I may not have had the opportunity to learn in the states because of my lack of previous experience. "
Lauren H Boston University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I got to explore anywhere in Europe I wanted to go and learned a lot about British culture. Fun fact: they're NOT much different from us. In fact, we steal a lot from them (music, style, technology, etc...). I would love to go back and work in England. Even though the program has its faults, it's ab..."
Allison M Boston University
"The program was amazing!! The classes were great and internship was a great, worthwhile experience. They really cater to your specific needs and wants to find each student his/her perfect internship. It is easy to travel all over Europe, so take advantage of it! The only issue is money...which can be avoided if you learn to cook..."
