I learned so much it is hard to put into words. The main thing is that you don't realize how much you miss it until you have left. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned more about the Italian culture than I could have ever learned from reading a book for watching a film. I learned to be more tolerant of tourists and became more independent. Andrea J - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Gained a new perspective, learned how to travel, definitely worthwhile A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
the best thing i learned was how to actually travel and not waste a bunch of money on the overly priced planned trips through student groups A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned to dive in full force to cultures, I learned that I can be on my own and figure out things all on my own. I would recommend studying abroad to every college student, it is beyond worth it! Allison T - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was worth it and more. I did and learned things I never thought I would. These are the best time in your life to travel, take advantage of it. You learn so much about different countries and people but also about yourself. You're forced to be outside of your normal comfort zone which only helps you grow as a person.

Adult living. International Politics. Worthwhile. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned to be much more independent and how to navigate myself through foreign countries. I only had myself to depend on (and the friends I made there). It was the most meaningful experience I've had by far. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review

I learned the importance of individuality along with many characteristics of myself. The trip was completely worthwhile I would do it again in a heart beat. I made great friends and grew up as a student, adult and friend. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
Learned that the simple things in life are the most important. Definitely worthwhile. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
very worthwhile. it was hard at first but got much easier. i made lifelong friends that i will remain close with. everything is different, and it is amazing to experience first hand. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
The experience was absolutely worth while. It was opportunity to see the world, something most people don't have the chance to do. I learned the different lifestyle of an Italian family which was possible through my home stay. If I had the chance, I would do it all again in a second. Morgan W - Bentley University View Entire Review

I learned how to make decisions, cook, live on my own. Basically, I learned how to grow up. It was definitely worthwhile. jessiitran - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned more about food and how people from other countries behave. It was worthwhile A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
You get out what you put in. If you want to really learn the Italian language and culture, you have to go and find your own ways to do so because the school will only provide so much. Studying abroad really helps you to grow and you can learn so much about yourself and your own culture while being immersed in an entirely differe...

Got a little bit of different cultures, from my weekend trips to working with students of other nationalities. Definitely worthwhile. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
It was an amazing experience. I had a great time and was sad leaving. I learned a lot about myself and grew as a person. I love speaking the language and hope to keep it up. I made a lot of new friends. A student - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned a lot more about another culture and way of life and within the classes, specifically my photography class, I learned more styles of photography and gained more techniques. The whole experience was very worthwhile. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
