"I learned what it's like to be surrounded by another culture. I wasn't able to read many things (especially in the beginning) and had to navigate and figure things out with limited use of my phone. It was definitely worth while. I learned about lot about myself and how to adapt to a new culture and live on my own. "
A student Middlebury College
"I think that being abroad reminded me that I live in a very intense bubble that thrives from students overcommitting and thinly stretching themselves to accommodate others. Abroad life helped me to take a step back to see all the different works at play and evaluate what things that I do within my everyday life at my home univer..."

"I learned more biochemistry in one year at Oxford than I would have in four years at Middlebury (or any other American university). I learned a lot about the British and made many friends that I hope I'll keep in touch with. It was worthwhile enough that I'm considering coming back to Lincoln for a graduate degree."

Benjamin S Middlebury College
"I learned that it is very difficult to live abroad, even for somebody like myself who has traveled a lot, and is fairly comfortable in new surroundings. It was a very good experience, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. "

A student Middlebury College
"I was able to see firsthand the places I've studied and get a greater historical context for Classical Greece. I also learned about the history and turbulence of Athens from its first beginnings until today, and I've experienced the difficulties that a modern country is facing with an economic crisis. I've met amazing people and..."

"I think that primarily I learned how to adapt, as there were many situations that arose that were unfamiliar or out of my comfort zone to me, and it was necessary to be flexible and adaptable in order to deal with these situations."
