I am less judgmental and I appreciate where I came from so much more. I see the world and different cultures in such a different light. I appreciate meeting new people and I love getting to know locals because you can learn the most from them. kelsey k - University of Colorado - Boulder View Entire Review
I gained cultural knowledge and enjoyed being in places with locals compared to places with Americans. It was worthwhile but you have to make an effort to get away from what you are comfortable with. Mariel C - West Chester University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review

My eyes were completed opened to the world. I gained a new and global pespective which you can only get by living in another culture. It was worth all of the time and money. I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Florence is an amazing city. Alex S - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definitely worth while. Aside from what I learned in class, I really grew into a more independent person than I was before going abroad. Danielle L - The College of New Jersey View Entire Review
My experience abroad was 100% with it and worth every last penny. I wish I could do it all over again. I learned more about myself and the Italian culture then I ever though possible.

I learned so much about myself and how pushing yourself outside of your comfort zones can lead to so many amazing things! A student - Ursinus College View Entire Review
I feel like I know more about Florence than I know my own town, which is quite odd. The depths of the city and the culture and history behind it is fascinating, and through learning about that, I was able to have rich experiences in which I learned about myself as a person. Worthwhile is an understatement! Dee L - University of Colorado - Boulder View Entire Review

The MyEducation activities were enjoyable and gave students the chance to learn more about the Italia... A student - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I became an entirely different person. I matured so much in my four month abroad and see the world through a new lens. I made some of the best friends I have ever had in just a few short months, people I see at my wedding, people who I have already made plans to have a reunion with this fall. It's amazing how quickly your perspe... Patrick T - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
