It was more than worthwhile. I would go back to any single day in those six months in a heartbeat. Every day was an adventure just waiting to happen. I learned more about myself in 6 months than I had in over 6 years. To be put in a foreign place where you know nobody or nothing and you have to maneuver your way around is thrill...

This was one of the most worthwhile things I have ever done. I learned so much about myself as a person and was exposed to a completely new culture. I learned that I have a huge passion for traveling and I can't wait to travel more in the future. Kyle G - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

I thought going abroad would be a new experience for me, a chance to get away from the everyday mundane that I was accustomed to. Instead, going abroad FLIPPED MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN! I fell in love with Sydney, and with Australia in general. I changed my return date and even stayed in Australia for an extra month working and t...

Yes. I learned so much from traveling and being abroad. I also made amazing friends that I still keep in touch with. Regan L - West Virginia University View Entire Review
I gave a 5 star rating because I came back from this program a different and more independent person with connections to students all over the US and Australia. As a result I am going back to Sydney this June. Peter S - Hofstra University View Entire Review
I grew as a person. Now that I'm back in America, I know that I need to go back. I had planned on going straight to graduate school after undergrad, but now I'm thinking about taking a year off and moving there. I might even go to grad school there! Lindsay M - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was absolutely amazing, I had the best time of my life and learned so much about different cultures and schooling systems. Although studying abroad does not really obtain to my future plans at all I still think it was a very worthwhile experience and wouldn't give it back for anything. Kelsey C - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
I made so many life long friends and enjoyed many invaluable experiences. It is truly an eye-opening opportunity! Andrew L - Purdue University View Entire Review
Trip was definitely worthwhile and just showed me more of who I am and what I'm looking for in life. It also allowed me to set new goals that I'd like to achieve some day after I graduate. Alex M - Pacific Lutheran University View Entire Review

I learned interesting things about myself, growing as a person, put to the test in a foreign city with no dining hall - oh my! Of course it was worthwhile! A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Very much so, I learned if you want something you need to go out there and get it. Keaton H - Drake University View Entire Review
It was extremely worthwhile. It took me until months after I came back home to pay off my credit cards from my trip, and I still am indebted to my dad, but I would do it all again. I wish I could! I couldn't believe how quickly my semester abroad flew by. As quick as it was, I know I have changed because of it. I'm more independ... Megan K - University of Nebraska- Lincoln View Entire Review
Absolutely, I learned so much about myself, Australia and even America. I fell in love with Australia and definitely plan on going back. The people are so friendly and nice, everything is clean and safe. People are not as money/work-driven as they are in America, and I came to really appreciate the laid-back atmosphere. Aust... Julia K - University of Miami View Entire Review
The experience was amazing. Just writing this review makes me want to go back! It was easily one of the best experiences of my life. 5 stars to the program. I chose TEAN because they said the housing was amazing. Whenever I told an Australian where I lived, they couldn't believe it. That's how nice it was. I was 15 minutes from ... Thomas C - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
I feel that I have grown so much as a student and as an individual. I now have an even greater thirst for knowledge, travel and cultural awareness. In spending 4 incredible months in Sydney, I hope to continue my travels and studies to other areas of the world, while always taking with me what I learned while abroad. Julie C - Siena College View Entire Review
Yes! Made me feel so much more independent, made tons of friends, and has helped me think more about what I want out of life. Katrina B - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
Even though the cultures may seem similar, they are different in many ways. It was not uncommon to see someone with a surfboard and barefoot walking through the city. I learned how vibrant the Australian culture can be and how carefree and relaxed it is. It was so stress free over there and you can't help but fall in love wit...

The working part. It impacted me enough for me to say I'll be back. Bryan W - Longwood University View Entire Review
Much more culturally aware now, and have a greater understanding of how the rest of the world views Americans. Learned a lot about myself and gained a lot of confidence in my own independence. Ilyssa H - Towson University View Entire Review
I learned to be open to new experiences and to welcome different cultures. I learned to live on my own and provide for myself. It was eye opening and enlightening. Rhiannon F - Temple University View Entire Review
