The most worthwhile. I gained life long friends, travel experience, personal growth, and valuable academic lessons. Leeann Passaro - Washington and Lee University View Entire Review
I truly learned how to look at things from other perspectives. Living with international students taught me valuable lessons that everyone views and sees things dramatically different sometimes. It was definitely worthwhile. Ryan - University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa View Entire Review

its too hard to sum up in a little box, all of the incredible things i learned or gained while i was there but i can say that is was worth every second of my time and every penny spent. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I am much more independent than I think I am. This allowed me to both improve my independence, as well as gain confidence in my ability to be independent. This will be a great skill to have when I am working and living on my own in the near future. Kira Goodwin - Gettysburg College View Entire Review
I became more independent and learned how to travel (before this, I had never traveled) Laura G - Gettysburg College View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned so much about myself and Australia that I will always take with me. I would go back in a heartbeat. A student - Colorado College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. Future students, do not get yourself sucked into a group of strictly international or American friends. Do everything you can to put yourself in situations to meet locals, that's what the best experience of being abroad is. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
