"I give my experience a full 5 stars because of everything I gained while I was there. My French improved, I met life long friends, and it inspired me to definitely go back after graduating. I was considering taking a gap year between my masters degree, and now I know that I would like to go back to France for a year and teach En..."

"My experience in the Turks and Caicos was amazing. I loved having the opportunity to live in and learn about the island and the country as a whole. There are so many things about it that you could only learn by experiencing yourself."

John C Clark University
"YES. I plan on going back to Namibia as soon as I can. It was the most beneficial and amazing experience of my life and I miss it every day. I made great friends there that became my family, both Namibian and American, and cherish this experience and how it has impacted my life and future plans."
Siobhan K 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
"I found a passion for teaching abroad. Working at a local school where most students don't make it past 8th grade showed me how fortunate I was and inspired me to make every second of my time with them encouraging, empowering, and eye-opening. I wanted to teach them so much but in the process they taught me more than I could hav..."
Katy C Clark University
"Even though I disliked some aspects of the program and the housing, I had an amazing time in London! Not only was I able to travel and work in a different country, but I learned how to survive on my own in a new place. The study abroad staff was always very helpful, even when I was nervous and worrying before I left. I loved my ..."
Christine C Clark University
"The internship really gives you a feel for the workplace. I was able to see what daily life would be like once I had my career. It's an experience that you can never gain in a classroom. "
shaina a 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
"It was extremely worthwhile. I am going to continue my studies in Community Development, with a focus on advocating for Latinos in the United States and/or Hispanic countries abroad. Dominicans gave me a new perspective on life and how to truly enjoy it. "
Margaret F Clark University
"My time in Turkey was without a doubt the best four months of my life so far. The people are extremely friendly, the culture and history is incredible, and you will meet some truly amazing people. "
Greg M Clark University
"For the future, I gained a whole new international understanding on racial perspectives. Ghana doesn't view race like America does, and it was interesting to take that perspective home with me."
Rachel B Clark University
"My experienced abroad definitely changed my future plans. Prior to Namibia I though that by studying international development I can enter into the profession I want, however, while having my internship in Namibia I realized that economics is much more useful. That realization has made me do double major in both econ and ID, ins..."
A B Clark University
"I loved it. South Africa is awesome. I really want to go back. Going to Cape Town allowed me to explore Africa, which is probably the continent I will least likely get to travel to in the future (because everywhere else is easier and much more accessible to me). So I am glad I can check a region of the world of my list of places..."
Vid V Clark University
"The internship opened my eyes to career possibilities that I had not considered before. I could see myself working in that field now that I have a bit of experience. "
Sean M CAPA The Global Education Network
"I believe that it was because I grew a lot personally from the experience and was forced to be truly on my own and explore the world for the first time. I was very satisfied with my experience there but in the end, I would like to go to a place where I would be forced to learn a new language while abroad."
Shalyn C Clark University
"I could sit and talk about my study abroad experience for hours. It was absolutely fabulous. I wouldn't change a single thing about it, because each element contributed to my overall happiness. The amount of Spanish I learned even amazes me. I never thought I would come away with this great of an understanding of the languag..."
Kathryn N Clark University
"Completely worth while. Yes the academic part was hard but the experience was not about school, it was about learningn new and exciting things about a culture so foreign to our own. I gave the program a 5 because it worked hard to give everyone the time of their life and it achieved that with me!"
Lily M Clark University
"I had a different experience than other students because I went there already fluent in Japanese, so it was more learning how to function by myself than refining/learning a new language. Studying at Kansai Gaidai made me want to go back to Japan to teach English."
Eiji M Clark University
"New experiences are always worthwhile, and wherever one chooses to travel/study there is wisdom to be gained. Interestingly enough, whenever I go abroad I feel more patriotic than ever, often long for people with familiar values/ways of conducting themselves, and find myself starting sentences with "In America we...". This sor..."
Douglas T Clark University
"Yes! I loved my study abroad experience - it was challenging, but empowering."
Alison F Clark University
"It was the best part of my entire college experience so far! It was ABSOLUTELY worth it."
Sarah R Clark University
"it was deffinetly worth it, i became much more independant and have a new world look"
Kimberly C Clark University
"I can now speak Mandarin as well as being able to understand much of the cultural nuances. "
Breanna L Clark University
"It was definitely worthwhile. Not only did it give me a new lens with which to view my development studies, but I'm using the research I did for my ISP on traditional birthing to write a thesis on international health policy and the Safe Motherhood Initiative in Kenya. I had been to Kenya before, but I left after study abroad wi..."
