I just loved being in a city where I could do something different everyday. Having the chance to hear opinions and gain knowledge on things I knew little about beforehand was priceless Storey S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I ended up traveling to 9 different countries while being abroad in Istanbul. It opened my eyes to a different culture and to another continent, Asia. Every second spent was worthwhile. I was able to make friends from all over the world and we will all be seeing each other soon. Francisco O - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
How to live on my own in a new place and adapt, it was 100% worthwhile Naomi H - Brandeis University View Entire Review

Exposed to a totally new culture and religion. More than worthwhile. I would definitely do it again. A student - Duke University View Entire Review
I am so incredibly glad that I made the effort to go on this program. It took some finagling, but the experience was incredibly worth it. I had such a great time learning about the history of Turkey, learning the language, exploring the country (we went on incredible trips with the program), and everything else that this program...

Spending a semester at Bogazici was great. It was everything I hoped from a study abroad experience. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned how much I am capable of doing on my own, and I like to think I've gotten pretty good at charades. Mia C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned more about myself and now know what I want to do with my life. vyrizar - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I did so many things I would not have had the opportunity to do in the states. Meeting so many people vastly different than me made me more open minded. This trip was so worthwhile! A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned about life in and the history of Istanbul. Although I had a great time, I wish I had integrated more into the local community. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Incredibly hard to describe. I made a wide range of friends and acquaintances, grew as a person in so many ways, began to learn a new language, and became more and more comfortable in my own skin while in a foreign land. On the whole, the experience was undoubtedly worthwhile. I have grown, and even changed, as a person in ways ... Apoorva M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Studying abroad changed my life. I became so much more globally aware because of it tiffany.persaud1 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned an immense amount about Turkey and about the region - I can't wait to go back. It was incredibly rewarding to venture to a study abroad location that I had previously studied in classes at my home university. My Turkish skills improved throughout the semester and I was able to take classes that were challenging and int... Joseph F - Middlebury College View Entire Review
More then I can comprehend right now. Julian V - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the world. Being around a lot of people who are not from the US and who travel frequently was very rewarding. My Turkish skills improved as well, and I feel much more comfortable with Turkish culture than when I first came. It was wonderful. hunter.tolbert.1 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about a culture I had previously known nothing about, I met people with very different backgrounds and views on life, I participated in activities I didn't even know existed, I had the opportunity to go to countless historical sites, and I built self confidence in myself. This study abroad program is for the more... Emma E - Duke University View Entire Review
Istanbul is a fascinating and incredible city! Stevie L - Bowdoin College View Entire Review

It was definitely worthwhile. With this program you get to experience all of Turkey. Through the day excursions in Istanbul and the two excursions around the rest of Turkey you really get a sense of what it means to be Turkish. Turkey (along with Turkish food and the Turkish people) will always hold a special place in my heart. ... Siobhan E - Grinnell College View Entire Review
I learned how to be very independent and to learn my way around a new city, which also happened to be the second largest city in the world. It was an incredible experience and I learned a lot about Turkish culture- especially through the incredible hospitality and kindness the locals showed me. This was an incredible life experi...

Understanding the importance of cross-cultural dialogue and interactions. Zavier W - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Istanbul was an awesome city and definitely not what I expected. There is such a rich culture and history in the city and great nightlife. I'm glad that I chose to come to Istanbul rather than a traditional European study abroad destination, which I had originally planned to do. I learned so much about Turkey and the Middle East...
