Studying abroad is absolutely a worthwhile experience, as you get to travel so much and discover new places and things about yourself. I gained confidence traveling and cultural awareness. AURStudyAbroadStudent - University of Miami View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself as an individual-- traveling, experiencing a new culture, and meeting new friends carolyn.griesser - Boston College View Entire Review
During my time at AUR I learned how to be an international citizen. I began to value other cultures more than ever before and I adopted parts of other people's lifestyles that I had never been exposed to before. I learned how to interact with all different types of people and I began to value social adaptability more and more. I... Michael M - Boston College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was absolutely worthwhile! I learned more about myself and how to survive on my own in a foreign country. A student - Southern New Hampshire University View Entire Review

I gained a wider perspective of the world through living in Rome and traveling to other countries. I met so many local people in Rome that made my experience worthwhile. I also learned a lot about other cultures that I couldn't have experienced by just reading about it in a book. Olivia D - Northeastern University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Italian culture and the cultures of other countries I travelled to, but most importantly I learned a lot about myself and became much more independent. A student - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review

Learning about Italian culture and learning to live independently Josh G - University of Maryland - Baltimore County View Entire Review
I acquired a sense of Italian culture, which offers many improvements to the usual way of life in the United States. Eric B - University of Miami View Entire Review
I learned that being able to live in another country for 4 months is one of the most important and eye-opening things that a college student can do. If you can survive, thrive, get around, and live in another country, you can do anything. It was one of the most worthwhile things I could have ever done as a 20 year old Junior col...

How to live on my own and handle problems better. I loved Rome and look forward to visiting/moving there in the future tim.knoepke - Carthage College View Entire Review

I made lifelong friends that share my passion of adventure and living life to the fullest. I learned to appreciate every second of each day and take advantage of all the opportunities that come my way. Daniella E - University of Miami View Entire Review
I would not change my experience for anything. I wish I did not have to leave and hope to be back again. I've learned a lot about myself and come to appreciate culture and all the different things the world has to offer. becca.salzman - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself, including the fact that I was actually able to do it. I went in super nervous because I did not go with any friends and I did not speak the language, but I was able to survive and really enjoy spending a whole semester away from my home school (and the US in general). It was definitely worthwhile- I... A student - Gannon University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the Italian culture and language, and even a lot about myself. I made so many friends and fantastic memories that I will carry with me forever! It was definitely worthwhile, I wouldn't change it for the world. A student - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
So many things from education stuff to personal things about myself and living with others as well as a completely new culture. It can be overwhelming, but so worth it and there are always people around if things get confusing or tough! Sarah C - Rollins College View Entire Review
I learned a lot with this experience. I will be taking a lot of tips back to the states with me. I definitely learned to be more conservative, with everything. A student - Florida Atlantic University View Entire Review
I gained an immense appreciation for other cultures as well as my own that I did not have prior to going to abroad. This is probably one of the best things I could have taken away from this experience. A student - Saint Josephs University View Entire Review
YES! Studying abroad helped me become more independent and accepting of other cultures; more about the abroad experience than the classes themselves Haley R - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review

I grew so much from my time abroad - it was by far the best experience of my life. I had the opportunity to live in and learn about a culture different from my own. I gained an appreciation for traveling. Julie G - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
This experience was truly the most spontaneous, adventurous, and wonderful thing I could have ever done. I'm beyond grateful and blessed to have been giving this opportunity. If you have the chance, you MUST do it. It teaches you so much about yourself, life in general, different ways of living/cultures, and really puts life int...
