Carina G Middlebury College
"Learned so much about myself and life. Absolutely life changing in a positive way."
Wil H Middlebury College
"YES. I'm so much more independent and aware of my emotions/reactions to things. Senegal often challenged my preconceived notions and certainly taught me a lot about Islam. I now feel like Americentric; I know what at least one lifestyle outside the US is and the ways in which its superior and inferior to living in America. "
Emily D Middlebury College
"I always ruled out Graduate School, but after spending 4 months studying at the University of Edinburgh I fully plan on going back to get my Masters there. As much as I missed Middlebury while abroad, my time in Edinburgh was the best time of my life. Academically, I think that Middlebury is much better suited for me as a studen..."

Corinne P Middlebury College
"I loved my study abroad experience, but I wish that my academic performance reflected my experiences."
Emily W Middlebury College
"I continue even now, three months later, to reflect on how Madagascar changed me as a person and how I view my life here in America. I can't say that this program made me understand where I am headed, but it definitely helped to define how I will move forward. I think on an academic level, however, the program could have been be..."

"Absolutely. I definitely grew as a person first and foremost. You really get a glimpse of what your life could be like once you've finished university living."
Daniel S Middlebury College
"I'm happy I went, but I'm not sure I would choose this program again. I loved the field experience and hands-on learning that I gained from it, but I had a tough group, that I got pretty sick of by the end of the experience, so I was pretty ready to come home. I think it was a challenge, and it was important to learn to handle w..."
Lindsay B Middlebury College
"YES!!! I gained a lot more confidence in my abilities to do things on my own and to live in a place that is totally foreign to me. I loved the chance to make new friends, explore a new country,and speak a new language. My eyes have been more opened to the wealth of experiences in the world. I am now more interested in a caree..."
Olivia B Middlebury College
"Yes, it was extremely worthwhile and it will stay with me for the rest of my life. I really discovered a lot about myself and about my cultural worldview."
Dana W Middlebury College
"I think I grew a lot as a person because I was alone a lot and had to create my own happiness many times. I definitely learned some about the host country, but I do not think it changed any of my interests/plans/awareness."
Hannah P Middlebury College
"Expanded my familiarity with foreign cultures. Made me feel more mature, more independent, more confident to travel."
Tara H Middlebury College
"Morehouse stands upon its rich history, which it instills in each student. An powerful and unique place."
Jay S Middlebury College
"Yes, I learned a lot about my subject and my own academic needs. I know now that I don't want to attend graduate school for literature, because the solitary nature of that work does not suit me. However, I will carry the things I learned about England and lit in general with me for the rest of my life. "
Laura I Middlebury College
"New Zealand isn't too different culturally from America. We speak the same language, which I think made my study abroad experience much easier than it would have been going to a country where I didn't know the language. But the culture is quite a bit different - everything is much more laid back and less goal oriented, which was..."
Carly W Middlebury College
"Absolutely. I learned so much about Kenyan culture and a little bit about the challenges of delivering aid abroad. It helped me focus on whether or not I actually want to live in Africa and do some sort of health or development work after college. I learned a lot about myself and also a lot about how to do field research, which ..."
Sarah O Middlebury College
"I learned so much both academically and about myself. There was a great deal of "experiential learning" which I think was the most beneficial. "
Molly H Middlebury College
"Yes, it broadened my world view and made me more confident in my independence."
