It was absolutely worthwhile!! I gained long-term international friendships, I learned more about myself which allowed me to grow, and I learned and got to appreciate a different culture in depth. A student - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. It was the first time I was entirely on my own ever, and that initial isolation from close family & friends was terrifying. But because of that, I became a stronger person and my values & belief in myself is more solid than it ever has been. I love the person I became after study abroad!

During my time abroad I became more independent and confident. I believe that studying abroad on my own was a huge factor in this.
