I learned a lot about myself and the world. Read more about what I learned on my blog: hirschmansam.blogspot.com. My blog has multiple posts about my reflections on the experience. I learned a lot about a lot of things. Samantha H - Buena Vista University View Entire Review
Rome stole my heart and I will definitely be going back some day. I loved buying fruit at the local frutteria and eating dinner at the quaint restaurants in Trastevere. I feel like I developed so much as a person and became much more independent. My experience opened my eyes to how large and small the world really is. It is 100... tkoch3 - Wake Forest University View Entire Review

It was definitely worthwhile. It took me out of my comfort zone but I met some really great people and I learned how to live on my own and budget my money. I don't regret it one bit. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Patience. I highly encourage anybody/everybody to study abroad. A student - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
My semester in Rome was far more than worthwhile, rather the most memorable and irreplaceable time of my life. While studying abroad I was able to travel across Europe exposing myself to multiple cultures, garnering knowledge and experiences I believe I will find beneficial as I begin to enter the real world and become fully ind...

Studying abroad for a semester was an amazing experience and changed me forever. Living in another country taught me independence, as well as made me appreciate everything I have. I also learned so much about different cultures and societies. It was an eye opening experience and would do it all over again. ulivieri - Arizona State University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. A student - University of Denver View Entire Review
Studying abroad allowed me to see and experience things I only dreamed of. I never thought I would be able to walk the streets of Rome and walk the same streets as the great Emperors of history. It was an eye-opening experience that I will carry with me every day and one that helped me grow as a woman. Kali A - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review

I learned how to adapt better to the people and culture around me like I never had before. lindseym - Texas A&M University - College Station View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself while I was abroad, and I picked up a lot of skills as well. I learned how to navigate a city without speaking the language or without a phone. I became a better cook. I improved my level of Italian. I learned that no matter where I am in the world, I will be able to make wherever I am home, with new... A student - Vermont State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself from this time abroad, and it was very worthwhile to me to discover what I can do when I am truly alone without my home support system. Emi G - Carroll College View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and survive in the big city! Jaye T - Westminster College, PA View Entire Review
I learned how to be very independent. I learned how to travel. And most importantly I learned a lot about who I am as a person. A student - Colorado Christian University View Entire Review
The knowledge I gained during my trip is priceless. The ability to learn about great works while actually standing in them is something that you have to experience to understand it. As a classics major there is no other place on earth I could have gone to learn about my major. I would do it all over again it was definitely wo...

How to live in different circumstances. A student - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I would recommend to anyone to study abroad. You learn so much and experience life in a different way. There is such thing as culture shock. However, it's worth it to miss your family and friends back home for six months. A student - Middle Tennessee State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and how i could be independent in another country. And it was totally worth my time. A student - University of Florida View Entire Review
It was so beneficial in shaping my abilities to adapt to new situations! Jessica B - University of Denver View Entire Review
Yes, I loved my time abroad and thought it was something that every student should have the opportunity to experience. Kayla L - Saint Anselm College View Entire Review
It was interesting to learn how other places of the world live and the culture differences between here and there. It was an amazing experience but it was mostly just fun and great to meet new people, it didn't impact my future plans except that I want to travel more!
