Abby West Chester University of Pennsylvania
"While abroad I learned so much more about myself, and really grew into myself as a person. I stepped out of my shell and became more outgoing and adventurous. The friendships I made abroad are unlike any that I have made in any other environment. I have a lot for these people and we still stay in touch even though we come from s..."

"I learned that there are so many greater things out there than West Chester. I was able to do things that I have never done and learn about people from all over. I found out more about myself in those 3 months than I have at my whole time at West Chester."

I wouldn't give that up for the..."

"I feel like I grew as an individual from living abroad. I gained friends that I am still close with, and I got to experience another culture other than my own. Studying abroad was worthwhile to me, and is still one of my best decisions to this day."
A student West Chester University of Pennsylvania
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I was a very big homebody beforehand and I have never been away from home for 5 whole weeks let alone in a foreign country. I was really nervous and I genuinely didn't find my self home-sick once. I was too busy living the dream. Studying abroad taught me how to live in the moment and not waste a se..."
