I enjoyed studying in a different country and experiencing another culture. I wish that the program had been more "international" though, it was mostly Americans with only a few from other countries. Laura F - College of Visual Arts View Entire Review
No matter what you expect it will always be different. Molly H - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I think I have become more independent since this expirience and know that everything will work out, just maybe not how you were planning. Erin R - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was an amazing experience! I met some amazing people and I have memories that will last a lifetime. There are so many people in the world and the opportunity to get to know people from all kinds of backgrounds was a great experience. I went to Scotland to go to school for a semester but I ended up leaving with so much more th... Gabrielle D - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Absolutely! It gave me a insight of the world. Made me grow as a person. I loved it! Saralyn H - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It shaped the way I see American culture. The difference in language accents, lifestyle and outlook on life varied in such interesting ways among the Scottish students compared to Americans. The program opened me up to having more fun and not taking school work too seriously. Ben B - Illinois State University View Entire Review
My time at The University of Stirling was fascinating and extremely memorable. I feel much more independent now than I did before. I also feel that I am capable of making more of my own decisions. The most influencial realization that I had while overseas was that I always have more options available to me than I realize and tha... Kari C - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was the best part of my entire college experience so far! It was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Sarah R - Clark University View Entire Review
It was awesome. It was good to see academics from a different country. I made lifelong freinds there. Francesca A - Clark University View Entire Review
Yes, the classes were easy enough but educational. I will never forget the experiences and friends. Silvia T - Clark University View Entire Review
I gained worldy knowledge but the classes and schoolwork was horrible. I felt like I was wasting money being there. It should not have been the same costs as Clark tuition. Shannon F - Clark University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and a different culture. I learned how to be independent and that I could adjust to new situations no matter how difficult it may be. Hadley K - Clark University View Entire Review
i met the love of my life. and i can't wait to go back. Natalie H - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
Being independent and learning how the world works from 4,000 miles away from what I'm used to. Best 4 months of my life... I'd go back in a second (if I had any money left). Brenna G - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I am considering attending grad school now, just so I can have a reason to return to Europe. I have traveled before, but this just confirmed that I need to do it more. I have made the best friends here and I will never be content sitting in my room in the US again. Katie S - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Absolutely! :) It was without a doubt the greatest decision I ever made. I gained phenomenal experience in my field and wouldn't be where I am without it. Scotland will forever have a piece of my heart. LOVED every minute of my study abroad experience and would do it again in a heartbeat! Kelley W - Weber State University View Entire Review
I believe that it was because I grew a lot personally from the experience and was forced to be truly on my own and explore the world for the first time. I was very satisfied with my experience there but in the end, I would like to go to a place where I would be forced to learn a new language while abroad. Shalyn C - Clark University View Entire Review
I have had my eyes opened to how different the world is outside of the walls of the U.S. It has not only allowed me to see the Norwegian culture but I was able to experience culture from the people who were from the 91 other countries attending the program. My roommate was from Moscow and I was able to learn a lot from her. I ha... Rachael H - University of Georgia View Entire Review
I LOVED every minute of it....i suggest going abroad to everyone...i wish i had spent a year there! I met tons of wonderful people. lived with people from all over the world, and was 100 percent immersed in the culture (granted it wasn't drastically different, but different enough) Britney W - Clark University View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile for the cultural aspect. Academics were not as invigorating or satisfying as those at my home university. Mallory K - Clark University View Entire Review
Coming to Scotland was very worthwhile because of the opportunities I've had to explore the country and the rest of Europe. Although the education was not good, it did leave me plenty of time to do other things! Jena B - Clark University View Entire Review
