Extremely! I wouldn't change my time abroad for anything! I grew in ways i never thought possible, change my outlook on life and became a new person; a better person. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Victoria E - Western Michigan University View Entire Review
Yes, I plan on travel after college. ldkraus - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was all worthwhile, a learning experience. You gotta have a positive outlook and see it all in your own way. A student - Drexel University View Entire Review
My life has been changed. To have been able to see the world in another place was the greatest experience ever. To be immersed in another culture, was eye broadening. My cultural awareness has intensely grown thus made me into a person who is capable of understanding many more perspectives. Veronica G - Our Lady of the Lake University View Entire Review
Definitely, this trip taught me a lot, it opened up a lot of doors and gave me a broad look of a different...Milan is definitely a place to go...Great education, Great food, Great people j q - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I gained a great deal of independence. This made me a stronger person and it gave be a better view of the world. I am more tolerant and worldly now. Jenna L - Chapman University View Entire Review
I would not change it for the world. It was worth every penny. Amanda M - Iowa State University View Entire Review
Definitely. Aside from the amazing knowledge I gained about Italian Renaissance, I got to travel around Europe and really learn about different countries and their cultures. This is definitely helpful to my understanding of the world. Ziliang L - Carleton College View Entire Review

Absolutely. I personally think I found myself a little bit and I also think I have changed for the better considering that I lived with only two people that i knew out of 8 and it was nice being able to be myself. I have learned a lot of things and I know I will be back here one day! Lindsay Q - Marymount University View Entire Review
Even though I would not recommend the program I went on, I think it was definitely a worthwhile experience. It was not life-changing, but it did better my outlook and quality of life. I know the independence I gained has helped me and will help me when I graduate. I wished I had done more traveling, but I still saw some amazing... Elizabeth D - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained more of an openess to people around me and I also gained a confidence in my ability to make decisions. I didn't know anyone in my program before I went overseas (I didn't even know Italian), but it quickly became a home to me. I feel like a have a much higher underst... Jenna W - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I was always planning on doing an Italian major, which is why I went on the program. I'm really glad I got to see new aspects of Italian culture, and make new friends abroad. Marino P - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned who I am and what my passion is in life. This program connected me with people who have changed my life. I learned how to live life like Italians and it made me want to adopt some aspects of their lifestyle. It showed me another part of the world where life has another meaning. Sarah K - Hope College View Entire Review
I learned about the Roman culture- both religious and secular. I gained an appreciation for poetry, art, and architecture. I was also able to develop spiritually in a way I did not think possible. I had the amazing opportunity to see the holy father many times. Eric S - The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts View Entire Review
Traveling abroad opened up my mind to a different culture that was slightly different than my own. I learned to communicate with Italians through language without even knowing that I could. I learned to appreciate every moment in life and not focus on materialistic things. Erica E - University of North Carolina - Charlotte View Entire Review
More than worthwhile. James C - Rowan University View Entire Review
If I could choose 10 stars instead of five I would. Studying abroad is something that can never be fully described and never be fully replaced. To get outside of yourself and your normal life and open your mind up to that of another culture is an invaluable experience. I learned a new language, learned how to cook, made internat... Gina M - Ohio University View Entire Review
Yes, definitely worthwhile. I am more aware of understanding how different cultures work. Also, seeing the fabric of historical cities and their growth helped me in my studies. Sue D - University of Florida View Entire Review
After traveling abroad once, there is no doubt in my mind that I will travel again. It was a wonderful experience. It allowed me to see beauty in a totally different way. Definitely a one of a kind experience. Kailee M - Otterbein University View Entire Review
Yes, I got a great opportunity to learn Italian culture and history. Monica H - Santa Rosa Junior College View Entire Review
My study abroad program was an Independent program and, therefore, no grades were given and no credits earned. The experience was an opportunity for me to see firsthand the art of the Italian Renaissance that I had previously only studied through textbooks. The experience was extremely valuable to me, giving me a broadened sen... William B - College of Charleston View Entire Review
I enjoyed every moment of my study abroad experience and would go back to Catania in a heartbeat! It was a wonderful city filled with culture and history. It was also a University city so there were plenty of young people. My Italian improved so much that I was able to skip two semesters of Italian when I returned. Everyone w...

Yes, yes, and yes. It made me a better person and showed me just how subjective reality, truth, and the universe is. Anthony S - San Jose State University View Entire Review
