I gained independence, long lasting friendships, and a family. It was totally worthwhile. A student - Smith College View Entire Review
I gained the realization that one does not always need to be told what to do to make the most of their time.

I gained the ability to make non-america... Monique Montoute - Wellesley College View Entire Review

My host family will be lifetime friends of mine, I made new Wellesley and Smith friends, my Spanish improved immensely, and I got to spend four months in one of the most beautiful and ancient European cities.
