I loved it! It was not a life changing experience because I've been abroad several times before this but I love going because there is just something about experiencing something completely different. I enjoy seeing the places where events I've been reading about in history books for years actually happened and meeting the peopl... Julia B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

Yes. Even though it was very expensive and I missed America, I learned a lot about other people and myself and I don't think I could've done that by never traveling abroad. Julia B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
How other countries interact with the environment, their histories and current issues, and how their politics work. Kurt K - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
From this trip, I learned that not only are all Americans different, but everyone in the world is very different. It was amazing to see a different culture from my own and experience it firsthand. I also learned that even though I had a great time abroad, I love the country I live in and wouldn't want to live in a different one.... Julia B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
In order to feel as if you are participating in your host countries traditions while studying abroad I would suggest going on a longer study abroad experience where there is more opportunity to become immersed in the culture. Stephanie M - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

Having this information will help me out in my career because my major is psychology and I plan on counseling people. This will help because I'll be able...

My experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot about the history of Ireland and its people, got to interact with the locals, and try some of their traditional, tastey foods and drinks. I am also glad that this program included a few days in the famous city of London. After the calm and relaxed atmosphere in Ireland, the busy...
