I learned a lot about myself. I gained some awesome friends that I would of never been able to meet if I did not go through TEAN. While in Australia I learned so many cool things that I probably wouldn't of done while in the US like scuba diving and surfing. Christopher P - Nichols College View Entire Review
This was my first opportunity to spend an extended period of time outside of the States and it helped me to gain an entirely new perspective on the world. Living life for three and a half months on the other side of the world helped me to truly understand the vastness and diversity that exists outside the confines of the United ...

I am so glad i studied abroad and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my time in Australia. I gained a sense of independence and I no longer have any fear of the unknown. Globalinks was a huge factor in my amazing experience. candice d - Point Loma Nazarene University View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile. Stepping out of your comfort zone and being somewhere alone will definitely teach you a lot about yourself, your life and your culture. Ashley T - Marietta College View Entire Review
I not only learned a great deal about myself but also how to travel safely, how to better keep up with school work, and I learned a completely new way of life that has taught me to relax and go with the flow because sometimes that's all you can do. It was absolutely worthwhile, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned to be open to new experiences, to take risks, and to make the most out of each day. The 4 months I spent in Australia were the fastest 4 months of my life and I would go back and start over from the beginning if given the chance any day. The people I met while abroad will always have a special place in my heart and I l... Chris A - Quinnipiac University View Entire Review
Spending the semester abroad was the best decision I have ever made. You have to put yourself out there and break out of your comfort zone. I have such amazing memories from my semester abroad and can thank TEAN for all of them. I would highly recommend The Education Abroad Network to any prospective student looking to study in ... Allison K - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I learned about new cultures and lifestyles, and also learned more about myself than I could have ever imagined. It was the greatest learning experience I could suggest, and was certainly worth spending a semester away. A student - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
I learned lots of different things from being abroad ranging from big things like culture differences and universal words/actions and foods to little things such as sharing food and taking public transportation to class. ashley.thomas.121 - Marietta College View Entire Review
I learned how to survive on my own in a foreign country for an extended period of time. I also gained experience in traveling to places around the world. My experience abroad was absolutely worth it. It was the most amazing thing I've ever done in my life and TEAN had a lot to do with it. A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
Going abroad was an absolutely unbelievable experience. Going abroad changes you. Living and experiencing another country's culture gives you a whole new outlook of your culture, and gives you different perspective of the world. I learned more about the world in one semester abroad than I have in my entire college career. I als... Cody Z - University of Iowa View Entire Review
Going into this experience I never could have imagined how much I would end up gaining from it. I assumed I would see amazing sights, meet great people and try new things. I never realized though that in a quick four months I would find a new home, make friends that feel like family and do things I never thought I could do. Stud...

When in a foreign country, your really on your own. Learn to be dependent, have time-management skills, budget, budget, budget and explore!!!! A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review
Studying abroad has taught me that If I can travel across the world and live in a foreign country, I can do anything. I became more independent and learned how to manage money and plan out my own trips. It has also taught me to step out my comfort zone and immerse myself in a different culture. Tier G - Lasell College View Entire Review
The benefits of my study abroad experience are incalculable. The experience of LIVING in another country has inspired me to continue traveling all around the world. The friends I made and the adventures we took are incredibly unique and special. It is not possible to come to regret studying abroad in Australia. It is truly a on... Haley D - University of Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and how to be more independent and how to figure out situations on your own and meet new people from all around the world. A student - Belmont University View Entire Review
My experience abroad was AMAZING, I grew so much as a person . The friends I made while abroad I will remember and keep with me forever. I learned how to travel on a budget and simply take care of myself. What this world has to offer is endless and TEAN helped me to realize I can accomplish so much in this grand adventure we cal... Wendy L - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
I learned more about myself and stepping out of the comfort zone to try new things. I also was made aware of how the rest of the country views America and I learned about what was going on in other countries. It was well worthwhile. Anthony J - Stonehill College View Entire Review
I gained a better understand of myself, which was the most important aspect of the entire experience. I learned that no matter how much money it costs and no matter how far away I am from home, it is all worth it because of the lifelong friends I made and all the things I learned about life and myself. Abigail E - University of Iowa View Entire Review
Confidence. Traveling and living across the world is an inspiring endeavor. I would do it again in a heart-beat. Andrew G - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
I would describe my study abroad experience as the best four months of my life. I was given the opportunity to see and experience things that I will never be able to again. I met some of my best friends on this trip and fulfilled a dream that I never imagined would come true. I couldn't imagine going with any other program, TEAN... Graham T - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I learned how to navigate in unfamiliar places. I was not very good at directions but when I was somewhere that was nowhere near home I forced to learn and teach myself. Very worthwhile! Kristen S - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
It was incredible semester with amazing memories I will keep for the rest of my life. Say yes to everything and try it all - you'll have so much fun and learn many new things. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. Natalie C - Lasell College View Entire Review
I learned how to interact in an international context and got a lot of vital traveling experience. Gained a ton of friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life. 100% worthwhile. A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
People who have studied abroad come back and say they've been forever changed. But the truth is, it's hard to put that change into words or perspective for those who haven't had the experience of completely throwing themselves into another world countless miles away from familiarity. I learned to trust myself on things more and ... Kaylie A - University of Dayton View Entire Review
