I learned more about the world and myself then any other experience in my life has ever taught me. Everything we did and saw was so worthwhile and I encourage the experience on everyone. Ruth C - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and triggered wanderlust. I met so many new friends alongside my established friend group and I'm very proud of the work I did during the program and I have so many photos of beautiful Italy!! A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I had met many wonderful people, and experienced what it was like living in Europe. It was very worth while and had opened up my eyes to a lot. Taylor L - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Every second was worthwhile. I learned to let go of control and just go with the flow. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned about another lifestyle and gained artistic skills in other fields. It was worthwhile except that it set me far back in credits. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
i learned how other people, in a completely different culture live, and i was a part for that way of living for a few months of my life. and i've brought back a little of that italian way of living with me home to the states. it really put how i want to live my life into perspective. Kimberly M - University of Hartford View Entire Review

Nothing has affected my life as strongly as this program has. The people I met there are now life long friends. The professors were more than teachers. they were intellectual peers. This trip also helped me to learn to travel on my own. Perrine L - University of Hartford View Entire Review
...Words can't really describe how amazing this experience was. For one thing, it made me lose my fear of trying new things and forced me to be spontaneous in every barrier that came my way. I think I also got the travel bug from this. Erica L - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Yes of course! I've never been out of the country before and this experience makes me want to travel all over the world! Bridget M - University of Hartford View Entire Review
i learned about how my family would be in italy and i learned a different type of environment. i appreciate much more in life now going abroad A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
This trip was so worthwhile. I made friends that I will never forget. I saw some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen in my life. I learned how to embrace other cultures, try new things, see the world from other people's perspective. But I also learned how to slow down, how to enjoy the little things, to savor life. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned that getting up and exploring your surroundings is the best way to learn about where you're staying. I also learned that gelato is inevitable and you will eat it more than you've ever eaten any type of ice cream before in your life. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review

I learned that I miss more than I gain by living life like a rat race. The Italians know how to enjoy life in a way that Americans never learn. I really hope that I can bring some semblance of that peace to my life in the States. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
Knowledge of another culture, what it's like to live in a culture different from the one you are accustomed to. It was worthwhile. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I gained a ton of knowledge, and I had the time of my life, I can't wait to go back. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
absolutely! Danielle E - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I can't say enough how great this program was. I think about it everyday and I wish that more people knew about it and applied. I don't make sense to me why someone wouldn't do it had they the chance. I am so grateful of the time I shared with the people on this trip and I miss all the friends and faculty I made and I plan on... Kathryn L - University of Hartford View Entire Review
