Yes, I learned a lot of Spanish and traveling, made new friends that I would not have met at Villanova and discovered things about my self. Allison F - Villanova University View Entire Review
Going abroad has made me very independent, and more worldly. I got to see and do so many things I thought I would never see or do. I learned that open mindedness will get you very far, and in another country the best thing to do is whatever the natives do. Unlike most people, I had interest in teaching abroad when I graduated co... Emily C - Providence College View Entire Review
The experience was completely worth my time. yesenia l - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I learned more about myself, about the world around me, and how even though perspectives don't always match up, it's the overlap that makes the experiences worthwhile. Brittany F - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, my culture as well as other cultures. I became more independent and made incredible friendships. I learned so much both in and out of the classroom. Yes, it was worthwhile. Kim M - Providence College View Entire Review
i learned a lot about myself and also a lot about the culture of spain. it was definitely worthwhile A student - Fordham University View Entire Review
I had never been out of the US, so it was eye-opening and educational. I could only take Spanish classes because of the program, and so not having all of the rigorous business classes made me very relaxed. I really appreciated a semester of "Spanish time". A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
SO WORTHWHILE. I gained a different and better perspective on life and the cultural immersion was an incredible experience. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Absolutely. It changed me and my outlook on life and the world. I benefited so much from my experience and I miss it a lot. I want to go back to Alicante and Spain and work there because I loved it so much. Lori T - Trinity University View Entire Review

I am definitely more culturally aware than I was before. Allison M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was well worth it! I loved every minute of it. Although at times, I was challenged academically or learning new customs, I wouldn't change it for a second. I learned so much about the idea of home isn't where you live but it's rather the people and attitude you have. Your host family and friends abr...
