"I wish I had not done the study abroad program at Koc University. My academic career was negatively impacted, I got poor grades because I used critical thinking and developed my own opinions, and my opinion of a perfectly good country and culture was pretty tarnished. I wish someone had told me all of this before I made the mist..."
Paul M Clark University
"I really like America. "
A student Clark University - Worcester
"I learned a language and how the world outside the states functions. I'm grateful for getting the chance to leave the country however I believe the clark students laid far too much for what the program specifically had to offer us. "
Kerry B Clark University - Worcester
"I gained worldy knowledge but the classes and schoolwork was horrible. I felt like I was wasting money being there. It should not have been the same costs as Clark tuition."
Shannon F Clark University
"Like i stated in my words of wisdom, it is America with an accent and more rain. The greatest gain the program got me was a new confidence in myself when facing adverse situations. It is sad that these adverse situations occurred from abysmal help and responsibility on Clark and Stirling's parts."
Krzysztof D Clark University
"I gained more self confidence in my linguistic abilities as well as travelling alone."
A student Clark University - Worcester
"I learned a lot of patience and acceptance of different cultures. I learned that everything will work out in the end. And I value my current education at Clark."
Kelly H Clark University - Worcester
"The study abroad experience did give me a better understanding for German culture and I was able to learn the language better. Academically the program was not a good experience for me. It did not add to my college transcript. I do think I will continue learning German later in life and that culturally I am more aware."
Lila M Clark University
"I learned a good amount about Jewish life in Central Europe and the lectures and meetings I attended during traveling seminar taught me things that I have yet to learn in a traditional classroom. Those experiences outside of the classroom are the ones I still talk about today."
Cassandra G Clark University - Worcester
"There were an incredible amount of frustrating logistical problems and very shaky academics, but the service-opportunities and the beautiful city made those things tolerable. My opinions of my trip abroad might be very different had I not met a South African girl there, one who came back to the States with me for her break ..."
Reece M Clark University - Worcester
"My experience taught me to think about art making in an entirely new way. Though I wish I had spent my time making different pieces, I feel the knowledge I gained about contemporary art was entirely worthwhile. My italian improved. Ultimately, I received what I had wanted to from the program: art and italian. I would only wish t..."
Ellen K Clark University - Worcester
"I gained a lot of cultural experience. YES!"
A student Clark University - Worcester
"Coming to Scotland was very worthwhile because of the opportunities I've had to explore the country and the rest of Europe. Although the education was not good, it did leave me plenty of time to do other things! "
Jena B Clark University
"I learned more about myself, about confidence, about European culture and language. I also have to say that I learned as much as culture and experiences in the 2 weeks of my spring break trip as I did in the 4+ months I was in Dijon. Once you have the travel bug in you, your itching to go again, make new adventures, and have you..."
Angela W Clark University
"Somewhat worthwhile. I learned a bit about myself and what I want in life/ what types of places I would want to live in. "
A student Clark University - Worcester
"Yes it was worthwhile but I like freedom. I am an independant person and I have trouble with others dictating how I live. The lack of free time was hard for me. It was great and I'm glad I did it, but I might have chosen a program with more freedom, had I known. "
Hannah T Clark University
"It was worth while, it helped me on my path towards a career."
Kelley C Clark University
"Yes, it was a lot different from what I had expected initially and from what I understood the program to be from the description. I gained a better knowledge and comfort of speaking the Spanish language. I gained a better perception of local knowledge and culture. I gained field experience and experience doing research adn writi..."
michelle s Clark University
"Yeah it was worthwhile. I loved my internship but London was not my style"
seble.l.alemu Clark University - Worcester
"I love to travel and no matter what I think it is worthwhile. You gain independance and an understanding of different cultures."
Elizabeth S Clark University
"how to interact and work with other cultures"
A student Clark University - Worcester
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile, but more because of the location than because of the program."
Margaret K Clark University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and a different culture. I learned how to be independent and that I could adjust to new situations no matter how difficult it may be."
Hadley K Clark University
"I definitely think studying abroad was worth while. I mean even with the hard parts you learn about yourself and what you want from your school and your education, you will grow despite everything."
Meghan H Clark University
"It was definitely worthwhile, especially since I have never lived out-of-state before. Washington, D.C. is an incredible city and I learned how to live on my own (and with strangers...). Being here really solidified my plans to become a teacher!"
Jean D Clark University
