mostly a greater sense of the world around me. My eyes were opened to different cultures, ways of life, beliefs, and experiences. 100 % worthwhile Morgan Sewall - Merrimack College View Entire Review
The best thing I gained from my experiences in Florence was the understanding of exploration's value. It is so important for Americans to see the other side of the world, how people of different cultures interact, and how these different people live. Every little aspect of my abroad life was extremely worthwhile. I learned to as... Elizabeth Klingler - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review

incredibly worht while. you learn not only cultural differences but that you are not the only one in the world and that there are those that are different and like you Lars Jorgenson - University of Wisconsin - Stout View Entire Review
I gained skills in being self-reliant. I was already independent before studying abroad due to being an only child. However, while abroad, I learned to do things on my own instead of relying on my parents to do things for me. I was completely out of my comfort zone when entering Italy, but left with more confidence that I have e... Sydney Langer - Hood College View Entire Review
I gained much more self-relying skills. That is, I feel comfortable doing things on my own and stepping out of my comfort zone. I do these things more easily at home due to my time abroad. Samantha Giordano - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review

I learned the local language, gained confidence and learned organizational skills. A student - Cardinal Stritch University View Entire Review
Going into my study abroad experience I knew that I wanted to force myself out of my comfort zone in order to have a maximized experience in a foreign country. I was determined to make Florence my home away from home that I could always go back to. Instead of rooming with my best friends from Boulder, I lived in a homestay with ...

Definitely worthwhile! I learned a lot about myself and about my friends. I learned I can be independent. A student - Mount Saint Mary College View Entire Review
While studying abroad in Florence, I learned that I am perfectly capable of living on my own. I'm a person who loves being at home, so living in another country for a month was a bit intimidating. I also learned to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. This trip was absolutely worthwhile. Sean McConagly - Felician University View Entire Review
Experience and knowledge about another part of the world. There is so much out there that I used to never think of. It makes me want to continue to explore. Diana Gomez - Riverside City College View Entire Review
After studying abroad in Florence for one month, I backpacked around Europe for a month and a half. CAPA gave me the knowledge and confidence to be able to travel to other countries in a financially reasonable, safe, and adaptable manner. The Capa Florence staff immediately made me feel right at home and made the transition to F... A student - Texas State University-San Marcos View Entire Review
I gained self discovery which I believe is the best gift I could have ever been given. When I first arrived I had no plan, I didn't know what I wanted or what to do. But once I really immersed myself in the culture it became the best experience of my life. I traveled to 7 different countries in 4 months and nothing in my life co...

I gained so much insight about culture, society, myself and travel. It really opened my eyes to how important it is to get out and travel to see the world. It was an amazing time being able to live in another society and seeing how different it is. Rose Linehan - Mount Saint Mary College View Entire Review
I learned that I need to travel a lot more Jordan Wang - Indiana University of Pennsylvania / IUP View Entire Review
I gained so much knowledge about the world, different cultures, different lifestyles, and and a lot about myself. I learned I was capable of a lot more than I thought. Traveling gives you the most rounded view of the world Carli T - Riverside City College View Entire Review
I gained everything. I learned about myself, about people, about the world. I would not have changed this experience for anything in the world. Paige W - University of California - Davis View Entire Review
Studying abroad gave me a new outlook on life and adventure. I really saw what I was made of when I was abroad, was able to come out of my comfort zone to experience so many incredible things. Now that I'm home, I use lessons I have learned while abroad every day and could not be happier that I did it. Gabriella M - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Studying in Florence was completely worthwhile. Looking back there are things I would have done differently, but overall it's an experience that taught me how to make a foreign city home. I learned how to take advantage of different experiences like class trips or living so close to San Miniato (one of the most beautiful churche... Mary F - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned so much through my study abroad with CEA. The classes were academically stimulating on both a local and global scale, and the program offered great excursions and activities that allowed us to interact with the culture. From the language to the culture to the history, every aspect of living in Florence was so enriching... Alexis G - Cedarville University View Entire Review
