While abroad I gained a great deal of independence, confidence, and a broader perspective of life. My experience was definitely worthwhile and I would do it over again and again. Katie F - Bucknell University View Entire Review
I can't emphasize enough how worthwhile this experience was. I was able to meet all sorts of people from all corners of the world and learn about their views, perspectives, and ideas. Too many to count. For example, university systems in other countries. I met students who went to university and still had money (they made themse... hklin3 - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I gained a sense of independence from my abroad experience and learned exactly how much our world has to offer. I saw and experienced things that I would never have even thought of doing if I hadn't been abroad ... for example: skydiving, scuba diving and mountain climbing. My experience abroad was 100% worth while. Kayla R - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was completely worthwhile! I believe I learned things that can never be taught in a classroom and gained valuable life experience Bethany S - Trinity University View Entire Review
I grew in countless ways. I learned so much out of the classroom. It was 100% worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes. I now feel as though with a proper budget and sufficient income I can independently do anything I want. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
yes, it helped me be more independent and adventurous jessica v - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Definitely! Makenzie D - Trinity University View Entire Review
The experience was definitely worthwhile. I met great people (Australian, American, and others), and the bonds that I've created with them by simply sharing an abroad experience will definitely become memories that will last a lifetime. Being abroad also was an opportunity to prove to myself that I can be independent, which wa... Dora H - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I think that a lot of people assume that since Australia is an English speaking country it does not have very much of its own culture (or have a culture much different from america's). This is not true, Australia has its own culture and people who live their are extremely nice and want to share their culture with you. My exper... Hillary A - Hamilton College View Entire Review
DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE. Grew so much as an individual, felt so alive being able to explore constantly, loved being in a big city but also close to beautiful nature and parks and the ocean, loved living in an international housing building because I now have friends in literally every country that I still talk to and can't wait to...

Aussie culture. Surfing. Anthropology. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Branch out and meet new people A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
The biggest thing I learned was to be more open and global. Now I want to see other places in the world and I've made friends from all over the world that I want to visit. There are so many cool places to see and you've only got one life to try to see it all. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Became more independent. Met new people. Learned a new culture. Learned how to travel and navigate a new city! A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I loved the city, I loved the school. The actually IFSA-Butler program I found totally disappointing. I would say if you want to study at Sydney Uni go through a different USA university program. Becky H - Tulane University View Entire Review
Absolutely, I met the best friends and I plan to go back this summer. We did a lot of traveling once classes ended and it was awesome. Sydney F - Trinity University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience definitely marks the best 5 months of my life. I made some incredible life-long friends while I was in Australia and got to visit some amazing sites. Furthermore, I feel that I've obtained a heightened sense of maturity due to my experience abroad. You are forced to live completely on your own, which c...
