Past Review Take Me Back!
I gained a different perspective on life, met some incredible people and had many new and unique experiences that I will remember forever. Living in a different country introduced me to a new style of life--one where you live in the moment, appreciating what you have and making the most of it. I learned that can't plan everythin... - University of Oregon View Entire Review
I learned more about people, about culture, about language, and about love. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I would not trade it for anything. - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
How to work in a career-oriented setting abroad. Yes, the program was certainly worthwhile. - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of knowledge about the Italian culture that I did not know prior to my trip. I think the living abroad even for a brief period has made me a more well-rounded person. Although I had a bunch of travel experience before this internship, this was the first time I had actually live... - Brigham Young University View Entire Review

Living in Italy for a semester has impacted my life in so many ways. I have a greater understanding and love for the world and its people. I have come to know and love Italian culture and the Italian people have taught me to be more loving and appreciate life more. This semester will impact me for the rest of my life and continu... - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned so much about the world, my country, their country, and myself. I wouldn't trade what I experienced for the world. I love the people that I met and what I learned from them. It made me appreciate my life and country so much more but also taught me that I can learn from everything around me. - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned so many life lessons, but I also learned that life is about experience, and one must travel and experience life rather then just learn about it!! My time abroad was one hundred percent worth it, and I would go back in a heartbeat and repeat every minute if I could!!! - Heidelberg University View Entire Review
I gained a sense of independence. I felt like I could do anything on my own that I wanted to do, I just had to plan out what I wanted to do. I learned so much about the culture of a foreign place and learned to appreciate it. It was completely worth it, when it came time to head back home, I did not want to go. - Worcester State College View Entire Review
Studying abroad was hands-down the best experience of my life. I learned all about the various cultures in Europe and even about the culture in my own country from my roommates.

It was most definitely worth while. I learned how lucky we are to live in America where we have so much opportunity to follow our dreams. The culture there is so different, it was nice to learn to relax and appreciate what's around me; instead of hurrying around, (as is our habit in America). Mostly I learned that culture is a b... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
