i learned so much about different cultures and met people from all over the world, i would 100% do it again Justin G - Pablo de Olavide University View Entire Review
I have a better understanding of the language and my personality changed. I'm more relaxed (I was pretty uptight), I'm willing to try more things, and it was amazing. Kayla Phelps - Wartburg College View Entire Review
I'm really glad that I went abroad and that I went out of my way to integrate myself into Spanish life. A student - Carleton College View Entire Review
I learned the value and importance of not talking a lot. While studying abroad, I learned that verbal communication, while a precious gift, is not always necessary. I also learned that I can live a simpler life. In Europe, people do not seem to as frequently have these Texas sized, huge personalities, massive tracts of land, and...

It was a great experience that was definitely worthwhile! I improved my language skills and learned about a really neat foreign culture. Kamryn K - Wartburg College View Entire Review
"Was it worthwhile?" Worthwhile is an understatement. I am so lucky to have been able to study in Seville with the people and the host family that I had. I am amazed at how much fun I had and how much I learned. I will always be grateful, I will always love my second home, and of course I have incurable wanderlust. This program ...

I learned to be on my own. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I discovered what makes me happy and how importance my happiness is to me. I discovered a way of life that was very different to that in the U.S. and that I like a lot more. A student - Austin College View Entire Review
I gained a better understanding of the world around me, in terms of history and culture. I became more confident and independent. A student - Mount Holyoke College View Entire Review
I can communicate in Spanish better. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and have grown as a person, I got to experience a new culture and learn the language, it was 100% worth it and i was so sad to leave Sophia Jones - Wartburg College View Entire Review
What didn't I gain from this experience? I learned how to accept and immerse myself into a new culture, speak a new language, navigate cities (without WiFi), be willing to try new things, more about who I am. This experience was beyond incredible and more than worthwhile. Krsista V - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I gained confidence in myself. It is such an eye opening experience and you really learn how to be an adult when you're away from American life. I would 110% say it was definitely worthwhile. Cassandra Johnson - Xavier University of Louisiana View Entire Review
I gained a greater perspective on the world while gaining a greater perspective on myself. Riley Anderson - Wartburg College View Entire Review
Study abroad is the most worthwhile thing I did while in college. I feel like it is one of those things that everyone should do, especially the people that feel they don't need to or don't want to. I learned so much about myself, I challenged myself, I explored new places, met new people and improved my Spanish. This is truly a ... A student - Linfield College View Entire Review
I learned a ton about the culture of Spain and other European countries. My Spanish improved tremendously. I met amazing new people and had an amazing host-family. It was very worthwhile and I definitely recommend studying abroad to every college student Mackensie Sauerbrei - Wartburg College View Entire Review
I not only improved my language skills and learned a lot about the countries history, I figured out how to be an active participant in a culture and language very distinct from my own. I also improved my planning and problem solving skills, especially when it came to figuring out transportation and housing as well as how to han... A student - Wartburg College View Entire Review
There are a lot more important things in life than school and work. It was definitely worthwhile to be exposed to another way of life. Gabrielle M - Wartburg College View Entire Review
I was able to perfect my Spanish and had the adventure of a lifetime! Ale C - Augustana College View Entire Review
It's hard to put it all down in writing, but in short I realized that there's a lot more to this world than the Texas bubble that I've lived in. I learned that we shouldn't take for granted all that the world has to show us, and that if ever offered the opportunity to explore it again, I would take it with no questions asked. Al...
