I became a lot more independent and I learned how to organize time between going out with friends & studying for courses that were challenging.

I learned to get out of my comfort zone and emerge in a different culture that what I was used to. Very much worthwhile. Azia Carter - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Studying abroad opens you to so many new things. Sights, friends, and memories you will never forget. It's an excursion of a lifetime you won't regret taking. Not only do you learn so much about your new home, but you learn an ton about yourself; something staying stationary will not do. Australia is full of beautiful places and... Greg Camillone - Lasell College View Entire Review
I learned a great deal about the subjects that I took courses in and Australia as a whole from my experiences abroad, but most importantly I began to learn more about myself. Away from my parents for an extended period of time, I made decisions independently of anyone else, and the decisions that I made helped me to figure out w...

My experience abroad definitely taught me more independence and some useful travel skills. I also loved getting to experience a different culture and learn how to better appreciate it. Kaiti Jung - California Lutheran University View Entire Review
I gained so many unforgettable memories and friends while I was abroad, but more importantly I learned how to truly make myself happy. I went abroad expecting to create amazing memories (how could you not when in Australia) but what I didn't expect was to learn as much about myself as I did. Prior to studying abroad I was very i...

The experience was very worthwhile as I was able to learn a lot about who I am and more importantly the country I was in! Gabriella G - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
This experience was more than worthwhile. I learned more about myself, the world, different cultures, and so much more in just four short months, than my years at college. Shayna O'Boyle - Moravian College View Entire Review
I gained so much abroad. I have met my very best friend abroad who was in TEAN as well. I have learned so much about myself and who I want to be. I know I want traveling to be apart of my life forever now. I have never felt so free in my whole life! I would go back right now if someone had an extra ticket. Jaelyn - Augsburg College View Entire Review
I learned a lot of different cultures and being in another part of the world. While learning a lot about Australia and it's people, it also gave me the chance to learn more about myself. I think this experience was possibly the best thing I've ever done in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without it. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
During my experience abroad I learned so much about myself, other cultures and how to really live life. I would 100% do it all over again. Brynne Skarie - Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne / IPFW View Entire Review
Definitely became more independent and learned how to budget money. It was worthwhile and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to study in Australia! A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned how to adapt to a new culture and it was definitely worthwhile. Harrison Max - University of Hartford View Entire Review
learned what relaxes me. I don't have to get drunk to enjoy things. Life has a lot of simple pleasures Brandon - University of Hartford View Entire Review
If I could sum all of Australia up in one word, it would be unforgettable. Everything we did there, from scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef with TEAN, to going on adventures in the rainforest, to sunset dinner cruises and everything in between, it was all unforgettable. The friends I met and the lessons I learned are ones I won... Erika Penrose - University of Kentucky View Entire Review

Gold Coast will always hold a special place in my heart. The campus is gorgeous and the professors are so great! Maria DesRochers - University of Tampa View Entire Review
Being in Australia for 4 months, I was able to see amazing places that I had only ever dreamed of seeing. The Australian culture and lifestyle is so laid back, and the people there are all so friendly. If I could do it all over, I would in a heartbeat. Jane Innis - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
I learned a lot about being on my own in a foreign place and how to navigate and survive on my own. I learned about another countries perspective on life and culture. Yes, it was an experience worthwhile that will impact me in the future. Cali Beane - University of Hartford View Entire Review
My time abroad was definitely worthwhile. I got to see so many new things and the most important thing I learned abroad was how to travel sustainably and to be aware of the tourist activities you partake in before you do so. Megan Shea - College of Charleston View Entire Review
It was well worth it Andrew thornell - Salem State University View Entire Review
