I gained a valuable learning experience not just academically but personally and The Education Abroad Network was instrumental in making my experience exceptional! I pushed myself out of my comfort zone the whole time I was abroad. I learned things about the way other people in the world live and how they view America/ns. I was ... Kate H - University of Iowa View Entire Review
A big thing I learned was to slow down (the US seems to be the only place that lives at such a fast pace). I learned what other people thought about my home country and now I'm very open to other opinions. This program was worth it! I am so much more aware of what's out there and ready to explore all of it. I am now willing to j... Chelsea K - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
I think I became more independent and learned how to travel on my own. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, one that I would never trade. Danielle P - Tufts University View Entire Review
That is too broad of a question and I don't have a lot of time. But this changes for everyone. I have been lucky enough to travel a good amount before this so each experience kind of blends together. This turns into one wonderful brush stoke filled with different people, their various stories and the person you become as you ... Carley L - Indiana University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review

I think the what was most notably gained from my experience was what life is like in a major city. I am from a small suburb and Purdue is bordering on being rural so to experience life in an urban environment was huge for me.

It has broadened my outlook on people and culture. I am more accepting now. Australians are some of the most generous and selfless people I have ever met and seeing how they live their lives inspired me to live that way as well. Also, with the business classes and internship that I took I discovered that I want to go into some k... Courtney D - Hope College View Entire Review
This was my second visit to Australia and it made me want to go to grad school here. I learned a lot from my professors and made some friends that I will never forget. Danielle H - Berry College View Entire Review
MOST DEFINITELY. Changed the way I look at life, my major, expanded my horizons and made some of best friends. Meg G - DePauw University View Entire Review
You never know what you're gonna experience until you go and experience it. I had this vision of how my study abroad trip was gonna play out and believe me I was not disappointed but only blown away about how much better it was! The traveling was like none other. Snorkeling at The Great Barrier Reef was unforgettable and the oth... Amber T - New Mexico State University View Entire Review
It was great but it has now shown me how much is really out there so I don't like being back and want to go to another country again. Barry - University of Hartford View Entire Review
