I learned how to live. It was more than worthwhile. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I had an absolutely amazing time in Italy. I learned so much about the culture and the food, and I visited so many amazing places. I have so many great memories that will last me a lifetime. It may have been expensive, but it was completely worthwhile! A student - Bentley University View Entire Review

It was worth every minute but I would have liked to live with people from a different school. It was difficult to meet people in the classroom because majority of people came with at least three friends and they all took classes together. I was lucky enough to have one friend that I perviously knew and we were able to travel tog... A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review

I really learned a lot about myself as well as another culture. It really opened my eyes and look at myself and the US completely differently. I have been given an amazing chance to live in place with so much history and culture. Stefanie G - Bentley University View Entire Review
It is hard to say what you have learned until you go home, which I won't be doing for 2 more weeks. I learned how to plan and travel better than I had known. I realized that the people are what make most of an experience. Studying abroad is worthwhile, but if you want to delve into the culture, it will be very very hard to do in...

I learned how to better adapt to things when I don't have wifi or how to communicate when you can't speak another language! So worthwhile! A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned: how to be independent how to fend for myself how to interact with people from different cultures that there are more god than bad people in the world to not judge people when first meeting them to have an open mind and attitude to never take anything for granite A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Italian culture, food and being independent! A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes it was I learned to be accepting of other's cultures. Caitlin R - Illinois State University View Entire Review
The more i traveled, the more i realized how different America is from Europe....it's so uptight and everything has to be planned out and we're in a huge rush. Europeans take time to smell the beautiful flowers and embrace the one-day-at-a-time lifestyle and just live/work to enjoy life. SO worthwhile, and definitely one of the ...

To relax and go with the flow. Sometimes traveling is stressful, but you just have to remember how lucky you are to be in that situation and to enjoy every minute of it Angela C - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Stepping out of your comfort zone and not letting anything stop you from doing what you want to do! Taking time to enjoy the little things and not always feeling so rushed and busy as I am back at ISU. melanie.matta.5 - Illinois State University View Entire Review
The italian culture. Yes very worthwhile Kevin M - Illinois State University View Entire Review

During my time abroad I visited 7 different countries and captured some of the most irreplaceable moments and memories, and made so many great friends. I will greatly value this experience for the rest ... A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
