I just learned so much about the different cities we visited and gained the beauty of another country. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes. I learned a new language, and I learned more about my major than I could have possibly imagined. Michelle A - Carleton College View Entire Review
It was great. Abigail W - Carleton College View Entire Review

I gained an expanded worldview from studying abroad that doesn't place the United States at the top of the totem, and determined that I love European and city lifestyle. I found that when you're thrown into a different country, you have to learn to understand and like yourself very quickly, in order to be successful. I learned... Christina S - Trinity University View Entire Review
I absolutely loved my time abroad and I wish I could turn back the clock and do it over and over again. I have finally ventured to Europe! The awesome thing about going to Europe is that you can easily travel around to many different countries. This has enticed me to come back and maybe even get a future job that grants intern...

I am thankful from where I come from and I would love another opportunity to travel and learn about the world. Christina F - Kansas State University View Entire Review
Yes, definitely. I was able to learn so much about the region in Italy, and after only 2 months I began to feel at home in the city of Catania. Many other European cities have become too used to Americans and are too globalized, but Catania is a tourist free zone, and allows for Americans to become completely a part of the city.... Anna B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Yes. My Italian has greatly improved, as well as my understanding of Italian culture. I have become more interested in studying Italian and want to go back to Catania soon. Tony B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
most definitely - I learned enough to be able to completely start a new life in another area. Heidi G - University of Dayton View Entire Review
I learned so much from this program. I indeed gained more self-confidence and independence while abroad. I feel like every moment of the trip was worthwhile. I had the opportunity to make friends abroad and learn about an amazing culture. While class did improve my Italian skills, I feel that I learned even more outside of class... Stephanie K - Harvard University View Entire Review
I had to deal with extreme heat, food poisoning, power outage, and mosquitoes, but enjoyed my time there so much. I feel like I know so much more about Europe and Italian excellence. Hannah M - University of North Dakota View Entire Review
Oh god yes! John L - Kansas State University View Entire Review
There are so many options and so much knowledge to be discovered. Studying abroad has made such an impact on my life. I am now focused on heading back there as soon as possible and would love to spend the rest of my life there. To experience a culture other than our own is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. Alex W - Capital University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Sicily, a place I didn't know a whole lot about before going abroad. I also was able to take the chance to look reflectively on my own culture and my choices that led me to Sicily and I learned a lot about myself. I am more culturally aware than I was before, definitely. And I have a lot of respect for anyb... Megan N - Carleton College View Entire Review
I learned everything I wanted to from Studying Abroad. Kirstyn D - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Yes! From this experience, I gained a new sense of self-confidence. I trust more in myself and how I handle situations. I met amazing new people whom I will never forget and learned about Sicilian culture, which is fascinating! Everyone in Sicily who worked for CET offered us so much support, yet I still felt independent while a... Stephanie K - Harvard University View Entire Review
Through study abroad, I was able to experience the Sicilian culture, make great friends, travel the countryside, and cross things like cliff diving off my bucket list. It was an amazing experience that allowed me to learn a great deal about myself as a person, while expanding my knowledge about the world and the people who resid... Nicole S - Viterbo University View Entire Review
I learned how to rely on myself alone. I became more understanding of the mixture of cultures abroad but even more so the mixture of cultures at home. I might chose a larger city or a program with home stay but the program a chose was an experience I won't regret. Julia G - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Absolutely. My language proficiency improved tremendously. it sparked many more interests in my initially vague anthropological interests. natalie J - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I got to meet a lot of people from all over Europe and about other cultures of Europe. Lucas G - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Yes, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. Sinead S - Brandeis University View Entire Review
My experience allowed for improvement in my Italian language speaking skills. Because I was immersed in a cultural experience as well, I was able to better understand Sicilians and their way of life. Theodore C - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I'm looking forward to going abroad again to a country where my first language is spoken. Nina H - Brandeis University View Entire Review
