I learned important field-work methods pertaining to environmental science. I also learned how to communicate with people of different cultures. Marla C - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I am much more comfortable in my major now and realize that environmental studies is exactly what I want to do with my life. It was absolutely worthwhile. I made meaningful connections, both personal and professional, that I hope to utilize in the future as I navigate through the rest of school and into my future career. Chloe H - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes it was worthwhile. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
Very much worthwhile. I met fantastic people that I've kept in contact with, which was the most beneficial part of the entire experience. Cassandra V - Clark University View Entire Review
I gained a great deal of maturity and independence studying abroad, expanding my horizons and shaping my perspective. I would highly recommend living and learning in another country to anyone who has the opportunity to do so. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself being abroad and what it means to be independent. I also really value the hands on field experience during the program. This program was more than I could have hoped for when I signed up for it. Gina J - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I learned how to relax and work at the same time, be more generous, and all about Australian culture. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
