"I learned how to live on my own, about other countries and cultures. Everything I did and saw was an incredible experience that I will have for my entire life. Traveling through Italy and then Europe was the most amazing time I could ever imagine. I cant wait to be back in Europe to spend more time an learn more. "
Cassandra Z Marywood University
"Yes. Definitely. No regrets. "

"I have learned a whole new level of independence "
A student Marywood University
"I learned so many things about myself and other people. I learned how to make friends when you don't know anyone, and live and get along with all different types of people. It was nice to know that if one day I have to move to a brand new city I will survive."
A student Marywood University

I am more confident in who I am more because I was able to experience a new culture and new things and really figure out who I am. I am s..."

"I gained a lot more knowledge in certain art fields and I also learned more about myself. My perspective of the world and life has also been broadened from my experience abroad."
Mandy S Marywood University
"I learned how to deal with a lot of struggles on my own. I dealt with some of the scariest things on the other side of the planet, and there was no way my parents could just pop over and help me. It taught me how to adjust to a completely foreign environment with new people, things, and ideas. I learned how to learn from them an..."
Sara G Marywood University
"One of the biggest things I learned from this experience is that I am capable of traveling Europe, I am capable of leaving home for a period of time, I am capable of living on my own (albeit not well, but still I am capable!), and I am capable of making new friends in a different country. If nothing else, this experience was wor..."

"verry worthwhile"
Nicholas L Marywood University
"I found studying abroad to be very worthwhile. It was one of the first times I was truly on my own from my parents, having to feed myself and budget my lifestyle. I did some solo travel which made me feel that I could be responsible for myself. I know what kind of person I am, what I like about my living environment, and who I w..."

"The differences in the world and how lucky the US is to be where they are with so much freedom. I decided to double major with spanish after being abroad "
Siobhan B Marywood University
"My experience was defiantly worthwhile. People stereotype Muslims and Middle Eastern countries because of 9/11, but from meeting the people and living in Jordan - it was nothing like the media portrays it. Jordanian's are very nice and welcoming - they love teaching Arabic and learning English! I traveled to other countries whil..."
Paige C Marywood University
"Yes it was."
Alexa G Marywood University
