I learned the differences and similarities between my culture and a different culture. It was definitely worthwhile and made me realize that I would like to continue to travel the world and experience different cultures on my own terms in the future. Elizabeth Buchanan - University of Louisville View Entire Review
I gained confidence in speaking my second language. Before, I was afraid to talk with anyone besides my Spanish teachers in the language, but now I don’t want to stop talking in Spanish! Also, this was transformative in my career journey - I think I may want to teach English as a second language! Anna Latimer - Wesleyan College View Entire Review
I became more open-minded, I learned about a new culture, I learned about overall traveling independently, and I loved it. A student - Winona State University View Entire Review

It was definitely worthwhile to me to study abroad. Not only did I expand my knowledge of Spanish, but I also gained super valuable insight on Costa Rican culture, slang, and way of life.

Yes! It was life-changing and was an experience that changed how I view the world and God's people. My eyes and heart were opened and exposed to new ideas and I am thankful for my new awareness.
