"I learned a lot about different cultures, the environment and Spanish. "
A student Wartburg College
"This experience has changed my perspective on a lot of things, and opened my eyes to some global issues such as sustainability and social inequality. I have come a long way in my spiritual journey as a direct result of my religious experiences in Tanzania. I have also become more independent while also learning the value of part..."
A student Wartburg College
"YES. OUI. WAAW WAAW. I look at life in such a different light now. Its really put my life in perspective. It makes me realize how ignorant I was and how other people are. I wish everyone could have this experience, but not everyone is made for this type of experience. It made me realize what else is out there in the world that I..."
Amanda G Wartburg College
"My study abroad experience was DEFINITELY worthwhile."
Juliane H Wartburg College
"Extremely worthwhile. I learned so much in every aspect. My spanish speaking skills are improved, I learned things about myself that I wasn't even aware I should learn, I know I can make it on my own, I realize my place in this world a little bit better. "
Alyssa K Wartburg College
"Yes, it was worthwhile! The number one thing I gained from my experience abroad is more self confidence in myself. "
A student Wartburg College
"I learned how to be more independent. There are still people (other students or staff memberes) to aid you but in many cases you need to rely on yourself to figure out how to handle situations that may come up. I really learned how to appreciate the slower pace of Italian life. Enjoying the company of others without feeling the ..."

Sarah V Wartburg College
"I learned a lot of Spanish, made a plethora of lifelong friends, and saw sights that I never would have imagined in my life that I would see. This was the experience of a lifetime, and I would not change it for the world. I grew as a student, as a Spanish speaker, and as a person in general due to my semester abroad. It was a..."
A student Wartburg College
"I learned so much from my semester abroad that it is difficult for me to encapsulate it in a few sentences. However, I find it best to describe my knowledge and growth in terms of learning from the world, not learning from the classroom. I learned about the culture of another country and about the similarities that can be found ..."
Jessica G Wartburg College
"I have so many stories now--and Tanzanians have taught me how to tell them. I learned so much about myself and my true values thanks to my time in Tanzania. I realized the role and importance of relationships in my life, and how easily I pushed them away before. I realized how locked in I am by the American/Western mindset of pr..."
Ellen G Wartburg College
"Yes. My time in Tanzania has reaffirmed my call to ministry as well as given me a broader view of the world and myself."

Emily L Wartburg College
"My experience was very worthwhile. It was challanging and very rewarding to experience a new culture in the way that we did. At times the language barrier can make things difficult, but you learn to communicate with what you know and other modes of communication. My experience has opened my eyes to a new way of life. I know ..."
michael s Wartburg College
"This was one of the best experiences in my life, if not the best one. I would highly recommend it to anyone and I seriously think everyone should study abroad at least once while in college. I have new lifelong friends, am almost fluent in a second language, and have absolutely no fear or hesitance to go anywhere else in the wor..."
Mary O Wartburg College
"It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was awesome and I would love to go back. I learned a lot about math, life, friends, and branching out on my own. "
Kylee F Wartburg College
"YES! Doing this was probably one of the best decisions of my life. I had so much fun, met so many cool people, tried so many new things, and I feel like I really grew as a person too. With out having other friends or family there you really have a lot of stuff you have to do by yourself and you learn to be more independent. "
