"how to be independant. "
Robert wood Middlebury College
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I was able to connect with people I never would have met otherwise, who come from very different backgrounds. I was put in uncomfortable situations where I needed to be flexible and act with common sense."

"I learned about terrestrial and marine snow/ice physics. I also became a better outdoorsman, and lived in a place that I've always wanted to go. I would say it was worthwhile."
Joel Wilner Middlebury College
"I loved being able to explore the South Island - it is unbelievably beautiful. The people I met along the way were great. Being at a larger university was also valuable. I felt that I was able to focus my time/attention on subject material that I was interested in."

"What did I not learn? It was 1000% worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"Learned a lot about independence, becoming comfortable not knowing the language spoken around you. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned to live entirely immersed within another culture, rather than merely floating around the periphery of such. The overall experience was extremely challenging but without that difficulty, I would never have come away with the sense of fulfillment and self-understanding which I now carry with me in my every-day life."
A student Middlebury College
"I was definitely worthwhile. I would not be able to spend that much time abroad, especially in a place as far as New Zealand, at another point in my life, so I was really grateful to be able to do that. "
A student Middlebury College
"I made some amazing friends. It was worthwhile."

A student Middlebury College
"It was very much worthwhile. I think being in a new environment can help test certain aspects about yourself. I learned that I can rely on myself for most things (something I don't necessarily do at home). "
A student Middlebury College
"I did learn plenty of research skills and how to use a library to my best advantage. I think Oxford is more worth while though if you do two terms with an individual college rather than a proxy program. I would recommend this program if you care little about travelling and want to delve yourself into Medieval or Renaissance stud..."
