Overall Experience
The program was worthwhile. I think my education was broadened as a result of my study abroad experience. Additionally, I was able to become more independent and met some amazing people. Milan is a great city to study in, especially since it is not a popular tourist destination. - Villanova University View Entire Review
Yes. - Emory University View Entire Review
VERY WORTHWHILE - Villanova University View Entire Review
The program was worthwhile because I felt it offered the means to become integrated with the Italian people. This integration is possible in cities like Rome, Venice and Florence, but difficult without the proper guidance and timing. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
YES. The psych classes I took made me decide my future. The professors in Milan are both professors as well as practicing clinical psychologists. Not typical in America. Studying abroad gets you to think outside of your little American bubble, as well as infects you with the travel bug. Totally worth it. - Hope College View Entire Review
It was amazing. I gained so much from it personally, socially, and academically. Just such a great experience that i think everyone should have. - Providence College View Entire Review
I'm Type-A and am a leader and like to be in control, but the most important lessons I learned were about how to relax, embrace a new culture, be a team player, roll with the punches and adapt to the unexpected, and view life in terms of "big picture" concepts making me reevaluate my priorities. - Providence College View Entire Review

Very worthwhile, language, independence, food, maturity - Trinity University View Entire Review

My experience was extremely worthwhile and one that I know will only come once in a lifetime. Going abroad during college is a perfect timing because it prepares you for almost everything that you will encounter in the world once you graduate. I experienced everything ranging from difficult times, which only made me stronger and... - Trinity University View Entire Review
Past Review
it was a great experience - Tufts University View Entire Review
I lived in a country where I didn’t know one shred of the language. When I left, learning Italian was my favorite aspect of living in Milan. And it inspired a passion for learning in me again. I learned to survive, and thrive on the other side of the world. I learned I could be happy living in a completely different context t... - Hope College View Entire Review
Of course, I have changed too many ways to list. It is a wonderful experience and I believe everyone who would like to be able to study abroad should be able to. My academic interests have stayed the same, however, personal interests have developed into thinking that there is a whole world outside the places that you're used to ... - Fordham University View Entire Review
Absolutely - Trinity University View Entire Review
It was so worthwhile. I learned so much about the Italian culture. I learned a lot about myself as well. Amazing experience. - University of Rochester View Entire Review
Living in Milan made me see the differences between Italy as a whole but it has also allowed me to be a more independent person. In the future I would love to move back to this vibrant city. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I really appreciate other cultures now. After studying abroad I would love to experience more European culture and perhaps even live abroad for a few years. - Providence College View Entire Review
Past Review Italy: Awesome
Yes I had a great time living in Italy and learned a lot - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
The most important thing i gained was learning ITalian - Trinity University View Entire Review
Absolutely! I gained worldwide understanding of the cultures and people. I do plan on going to live abroad a few years but probably not forever. View Entire Review
Past Review
I am more outgoing and independent and I have learned that I can be successful even in a foreign country. I loved studying abroad, if i could have, I would have finished school in Milan and started working there, it was an amazing experience. - Providence College View Entire Review
