Absolutely. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes. I gained so much more independence and confidence from being forced to live in a completely different country with a different culture than what I was used to. I now am more patient, and appreciate much more. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I think that the program is really well put together. We had an amazing advisor and the best teachers so they made the experience really enjoyable. - Kansas State University View Entire Review
It was the best experience of my life. It just teaches you so much about yourself. Living on your own in a country that is foreign to you and speaks a different language allows you to mature as a person and really grow up. - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned so much more than I expected to. I can't even explain how much more independent I feel now. It was a semester of firsts, and it was the best four months of my life. - Truman State University View Entire Review
Studying abroad gave me a better outlook at life and really did help me grow. I realized how shelter my life had been previously and how dependent I was on my parents. It also helped me appreciate America in a way that I had never realized. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I am more cultured, and experienced. I learned so much from just the little things that happen everyday, I went outside my comfort zone and experienced some things people only dream of experiencing. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was amazing. Without a doubt, the best decision of my life! I'd love to go back one day. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Absolute worthwhile. There will always be minor complaints, but the people I met and the experiences I had far outweighed these. I feel way more culturally aware, in a way one can only be after experiencing another culture for an extended period of time. I have always wanted to spend more time learning in Europe, and this pro... - Truman State University View Entire Review

I gained patience and understanding for what is and isn't important in life. It definitely made me want to go back and travel more! - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I grew as a person while I studied abroad. At first, it wasn't easy to be away from home and family, but you learn to love every second you are abroad and realize that those people will be there for you when you get home. I am SO glad I studied abroad as I had the time of my life and made some of the best friends I could have ev... - Illinois State University View Entire Review
European culture is amazing. I loved every moment in Italy. Being there makes me look at life a different way. I'm more understanding and willing to try anything now. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It made me see things in a different way back in the States. I loved the experience and wish I could have traveled more. Also the fact of getting away from Kansas to more diverse cultures. - Kansas State University View Entire Review
