I learned how to travel around a city in which the main language is not English. I learned how to find my way around and feel accomplished by the little things! I learned simple words in French such as bonjour (good day), bienvenue (welcome), and merci (thank you). It was nice to be able to use these words so that the people aro...

I have an entirely new understanding for the English and French cultures. It was incredibly eye opening to see how people live and interact in different parts of the world, even within the European nation.

I learned appreciation for other cultures and customs as well as a great appreciation for my own country. Kayla O - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I had never left the country before this experience, and it exposed me to history and culture that you just cannot find in the U.S. I saw places that I had read about in history books and got to experience European life in a fun and interesting way. I loved every single day and it was worth every penny! Mollie U - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I learned that everything in London & Paris is a lot more expensive than the U.S. and it made me appreciate the U.S. I found the trip to be worthwhile and I would love to do it again. Samantha B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned that I can travel with people other than my well-known friends and family. I also learned about the importance of cultural diversity and unity. I definitely think that the trip was worthwhile because it gave me pride in my own culture and an appreciation of others. Erika G - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
i try to see the big picture, that is the world, not just what would happen, or what is happening in the US Zachary B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
There is so much of the world I haven't seen. I was stretched far out of my comfort zone, but it was definitely worth it. My desire to travel and see other cultures has grown tremendously through this experience. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I learned an incredible amount of knowledge from my trip. Not only academically, but personally too. It was so worthwhile, I wish everyone could study abroad. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will never forget. I am so thankful for the experiences and friendships I made. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Very worth while. Learned a lot about what living is like in a different culture. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Every time I travel abroad I learn something new. London was worthwhile because I felt safe walking around and by the end of the week felt comfortable going places on even on my own. However, I was not impressed with Paris and felt I didn't get to experience the positives of Paris because there was too much rushing and a need fo...

It was definitely worthwhile, worth every dollar spent. I take the things we have here in America for granted: our food, our amenities, lack of homeless people I see on a daily basis. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I learned how to adapt to other cultures and to try new things. It was definitely worth while. Cris H - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was totally worthwhile. I can say I gained a lot of independence and responsibility while being on the trip. You are so far away from home in countries that you have never been to and you have to be mindful of that. You cant just call up your mom or dad and ask for help when you need it! I also had to make sure I had enough m... Whitney B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
