After a semester abroad, I realized that I want to buckle down and get my degree so I can do more traveling. Britni M - Illinois State University View Entire Review
This experience changed my overall outlook on how I view the world and has made me realize how small one's perspective is when based selfishly upon just the US Dane L - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile Katherine O - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Every penny spent and every moment awake was worth more than I could've imagined. Brandon G - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes, i love europe and being able to say i have lived in italy is really cool. Samantha 2 - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes, I am more culturally and geographically aware and I have the "travel bug"- I want to see everything now! I am more independent and able to do things more easily now because I have overcome some of my shyness. I am also very comfortable getting around strange cities now, when before I would have been very timid and not will... Kaitlyn W - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Gained an understanding on different cultures and life styles. Found a piece of me that I thought went missing, helped me realize some things. Hannah P - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was so worth it. I learned so much about myself and life, that I never would have learned without this experience. I am so grateful for all of it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Megan S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I loved studying abroad in Florence. I gained a lot of confidence when I was in Italy because I constantly had to put myself out there in order to learn or interact with other people. I was able to meet many local Italians and I definitely benefited from experiencing the Italian mentality toward life. Italians, at least to me, c...

My study abroad experience was totally worthwhile. I had actually done this exact same program back in the Fall of 2008 and loved it so much that I decided to do it again. Studying abroad enriches your life in so many ways that you would have never even dreamed of. I have such a greater appreciation for cultures and other people...

My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile, I learned so much about myself and other cultures and people. I would definitely travel, but stay some weekends in Florence because it is an amazing city! I think that my time abroad has been the most life-altering and educational experience I have had in college! sara t - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Florence is an incredible city. It is so unfortunate that so much of my experience was ruined by Lorenzo De Medici. I wish I could do it again and choose and different program. I strongly advise anyone and everyone to go abroad, specifically to Florence but through any program other than LDM. It is horrible. Tamar D - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I never had a more fabulous experience. The people I met are going to be lifetime friends. It was a true test to myself and if I could I would do it over and over again. Rebecca G - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I thought it was a great experience. If I had more money I would have traveled more while I was there. The school was great overall and I got to meat some new and interesting people. If you do decide to go there make sure you take a cooking class, you might as well take home a little piece of Italy back home with you. Lisa D - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was the best time ever and I can't wait to travel again. I loved everyone I met and I will forever have those memories. Neslihan K - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I became a more confident and direct person. John S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I would do it again in a heart beat. If I do graduate school I will most likely go abroad again. Kimberlee H - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Like the cliche I chose above, at first I was a tourist and saw what i expected in my head before I came, but later I became the traveler, I learned to see the negative and positive, the reality of a city, and the daily life in another country. It taught me so much about the world, it opened my mind. It has made me more restless... Courtney S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
ABSOLUTELY! Hannah L - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I am glad that I went yes, but I do not think id like to live in Florence ever again. I learned that I dont prefer city living and I learned just how extremely touristy Florence is. Sadly it has become extremely Americanized! The experience in general was amazing and the beauty that I experienced while abroad in Florence was jus...

When I went out of Italy, yes. Jessica B - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I am an art major, and so being able to take art classes in a place overflowing with art was an amazing experience. Emily C - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
It was absolutely worth it. I got to learn about a different culture, got to learn about a different language, and I became a lot more independant. It was a very good expierence. I feel like I am one step closer to being able to deal with life outside of college. Erin D - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
It helped me more on a personal level than in a global context Pascale E - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile I learned more in those 4 months than i ever could anywhere else! Megan C - Salem State College View Entire Review
