I learned to enjoy every experience no matter what. Good or bad the memories will still bring smiles. This was the best time of my life so far. I look forward to keeping the care-free mentality with me everyday for the rest of my life. amy.morin.73 - Elizabethtown College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself while I was abroad and I felt that I gained a lot of experience in being more independent. While you're abroad, you can't just call your parents and expect a lot of help from them if you have a problem. For me, this was the first time I had to make my own travel arrangements for big trips, navigate l... Melissa W - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
There is so much that i gained and learnt from being abroad. I really learned who i was and what i strongly liked or disliked in life. I learned how to be strong and gained independence.

YES. I loved everything about my experience. It was so positive and refreshing to be in a total new environment. I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves adventurous. Alyson L - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review

Most life-changing experience to date. rob.brown.982845 - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. I also now have a better appreciation for the country that I am living in. I became more independent as a person and had to make decisions for myself. This trip was worthwhile because I learned what it means to study abroad. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
Totally worth it, and I would without question do it again. Tyler M - Western Carolina University View Entire Review
I enjoyed learning about life in another country, and it was particularly interesting for me as a science major to see animals and marine life that we don't have in the U.S. Ryan B - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
It was very much worth it, it gives you an idea of what is going on in other parts of the world. I was able to gain friendships all over the United States, Germany, Sweden, Australia, France, etc. I was pretty culturally aware but you don't trully understand the concepts until you live them. My future plans have been changed som... Joseph C - University of Cincinnati View Entire Review
