"Incredible experience!!! I grew so much as a person!"
A student Cornell University
"I learned how to be independent! I learned how to travel alone, explore cities alone, and be happy being alone. I spent plenty of time with friends and socializing, but being away from my good friends back home meant I had to both make new friends and be contented being by myself. This, I believe, is a valuable life lesson. "
A student Cornell University
"I learned about the culture, people, wildlife, and natural resources in East Africa and I fell in love with every single part of Kenya and Tanzania. This was the best experience I've had in my life. It was absolutely worthwhile and the best decision I ever made!"
A student Cornell University
"I learned so much about French and Parisian culture, I learned a lot about my self as a person! It was totally worthwhile, and I wish I had more time abroad."
A student Cornell University
"It was amazing, I made tons of friends, learned a lot about Ancient and modern Egypt and fell in love with the country."
A student Cornell University
"INCREDIBLY! I would not have gone anywhere else. I loved DIS, but loved Copenhagen and Denmark even more. My studies and surroundings have encouraged me to perhaps try out architecture, and stray from my originally-intended "City Planning". I am finding more meaning in sustainable design, and Nordic strategies."
Adrienne R Cornell University
"Yes"
bmcpeek Cornell University

"I learned International work experience"
Nicole N Cornell University
"My French improved by leaps and bounds, I made French friends that I will be in touch with for a long time, I found my true passion in life through the baking course that EDUCO offered, where I got an internship later on. It was the most incredible experience in my college career to date. "
hannah c Cornell University
"Yes. I learned a lot of new information, becoming more knowledgeable about new cultures. "
A student Cornell University
"It was the best thing I have ever done. I learned more than I ever have and we did it while hiking, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling. We learned so much and made life-long friends while doing once-in-a-lifetime experiences. "
A student Cornell University
"traveling gives you more insight and knowledge than any classroom can or will."
A student Cornell University
"It was amazing. Words cannot describe. I learned to look at the bigger picture, that there is a whole world -people, places, food, etc- out there that the microcosm of Cornell does not even begin to reveal. "
A student Cornell University
"I learned a new international perspective to my major and got to share mine with other people. I gained lots of life long friends and a permanent international network. It was awesome. I would definitely do it again and I am even looking into grad school at the same institution. "
A student Cornell University
"I learned how to sail a 135 foot sailing vessel, nautical science, celestial navigation, maritime studies (history of human interaction with the sea), marine biology, field data collection, leadership skills, time management skills, team-building skills, and how to produce a scientific paper. "
A student Cornell University
"Best time ever"
Kendra B Cornell University
"I cannot begin to describe all that I gained from my time abroad. I learned how to be truly independent, to navigate strange places with little but a few words and a map, to experience new people and cultures, and really there is too much for a little blurb. I cannot every truly explain how incredible it was, but in short I thin..."
A student Cornell University
"It was an amazing and eye-opening experience that really allowed me to find out who I am and want to be. I made amazing friends (Americans and Danes) and in general had a great time exploring and getting to know Copenhagen."
