This experience has taught me so much about the world we live in, the thoughts and values of people from different cultures, and allowed me to grow as a person. Through traveling, I saw and learned about the history of multiple countries and cultures. In many places I saw how their past is still a part of their culture. For i...

I learned a lot through different classes I wouldn't take at Middlebury, such as screenwriting in adaptation. I also learned a lot about myself, what kind of person I am becoming, what I want out of a school or town. I also learned more about myself in terms of how I adapt to Middlebury and how as an institution it has given me ... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained more self-confidence in my ability to be independent. I gained a sense of what life post-college will be like in terms of preparing mills and scheduling myself, etc. I learned that everyone's experiences are necessarily different because of things like money or resources, but that everyone can still get a lot out of the...

I went to UEA specifically for its creative writing reputation--they did not disappoint. There is an extremely supportive creative writing community there, and if you seek them out, there are many opportunities for writers. The school itself is progressive and active, and students are easy going. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Living in Norwich did not feel like the radical departure I expected study abroad to be, and it did not feel adventurous, but once I accepted this fact I came to really love the coziness of the city. UEA may be made of duly concrete buildings, but I liked the hub of campus and the surrounding broad is gorgeous which more than ma... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I really like America. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I have gained so many skills and friendships while abroad. I am so glad I had the opportunity to have this experience. I've been able to feel more confident with myself and my ability to work through challenging situations. Norwich always surprised me with the amount of events that took place during the time I was here, and it w... calyssa.erb - University of Western Ontario View Entire Review
I learned that I could really hack it out on my own. Even though, as an American college student, you have a lot of independence, being abroad and completely alone is a whole new ball game. I wasn't quite sure that I could do it but after spending an entire semester there, shopping for my own groceries, cooking my own meals, pla... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was a definitely great opportunity to learn about England and other part of Europe, as well as learn to get in touch with British friends. But I also realized the education I used to receive was more suitable for me Ji Hye S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to be more self-sufficient, and how to interact with a variety of people from different backgrounds and cultures. It was certainly worthwhile. Laura H - Middlebury College View Entire Review
The education was very useful and interesting in the sense that it was presented in a different fashion than usual. Usually, a course about Modern History would aim to envelop a more American-centric focus; however, it was interesting to be in courses where America was not even mentioned once. It was very worthwhile to see this ... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
How to get by in a new country. I learnt about a new culture and how studying the same course can vary country to country. The experience was definitely worthwhile. A student - University of New England View Entire Review
Norwich was amazing and the people I meet at UEA were all so incredibly nice and welcoming. I had a good deal of trouble with the UEA administration in the beginning but overall I enjoyed the classroom experience as well. Fantastic place to study abroad. A student - Dickinson College View Entire Review
I gained a love of British chocolate, biscuits and tea. I also learned that England isn't as hyped up as the pop culture image we get of it makes it out to be, it's actually a lot more ordinary. I think it was worth it to be tied to a new place and to broaden my world perspective and to keep England in my heart now that I'm home... isabelle.parker.7 - Bennington College View Entire Review
I increased my traveling abilities and my ability to dive into and thrive in a different culture. Bayliegh B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
People are wonderful and mystical, and when you find your friends--- your *real* friends--- it's all worth it. Thomas S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to manage my own money, to find my way and read maps, to keep myself safe while still being able to make friends, and to generally be more independent. I would consider those things very worthwhile. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
It can't really be summed up in a little box the things that I learnt and gained on exchange and I suppose that kinda says it all. Are you kidding? Of course it was worthwhile! I left wishing I could go back and relive the past 6 months over and over again! harriet.riley.73 - Victoria University of Wellington View Entire Review
Goin to University of East Anglia was the best decision I have ever made. It was love at first sight with both the university and with Norwich and it all suited me perfect. The last 5 months has not only given me memories for life and been the best time of my life, but it also gave me a new family. Gabriella R - Uppsala University View Entire Review
Yes, it was worthwhile. The most important things I learned came from my experiences talking with my new exchange friends and flatmates. Traveling was also an amazing opportunity. I also liked being integrated with the other English students for classes. Hannah P - University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign View Entire Review
It was worthwhile because I needed to see what would happen if I went abroad. I learned that I don't like to live alone and that I loved America even more than I thought I did. Some go abroad and don't want to leave, but I found an appreciation for where I was from. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I think I learned to appreciate the resources I have at Middlebury a lot more. It was really good to get away from Middlebury, both the school and the city/town for a bit; I needed to spend some time away from it. I also met a flatmate who I still talk to every day so I am thankful that through some power + luck, I was placed in... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about being by myself. It was very worthwhile and that one semester was just enough for me. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Confidence! It was definitely worthwhile. I met lifelong friends. Jennifer O - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
