After I completed my global remote internship, I realized the many different skills that can come from putting yourself out there and truly taking initiative while honing a few skills, such as good time-management, working with diverse groups, developing creative ideas as well as the importance of setting SMART goals. It was def... - Nova Southeastern University View Entire Review
One big thing I learned was about the effects of US involvement. Many decisions our country has made have great implications on the rest of the world. I never truly comprehended that until seeing things for myself. - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
I learned a lot of perspective about what matters and what doesn't, and about what is worth being stressed about. It was absolutely worthwhile. - University of New Hampshire View Entire Review
I learned not only about Thai society and culture but also about myself in the best possible way. - University of Utah View Entire Review
I learned how to admire and participate in Thai culture while also respecting the practices. I gained a newfound understanding of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries roles in geopolitics (which is extremely important if you've only been exposed to Western countries' roles). I learned how to be more patient and more unde... - Lehigh University View Entire Review
I gained a broader knowledge on the world and different cultures. I learned a lot about myself and what I want to do in the future. - California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo View Entire Review
TEAN's courses expanded on topics rarely discussed in the United States and utilized the country around it for hands-on lesson, making going to class enjoyable and exciting. Not only am I more aware of different cultures and lifestyles, but more accepting and willing to try new ideas. I am now able to reflect on so many wonder... - High Point University View Entire Review
I learned to be a kinder person. From living in Chiang Mai for a semester and traveling to a few countries in Southeast Asia, I was met with a kindness and unselfishness I have never witnessed before. I learned to listen, say yes and treat others with kindness and laughter. I learned to walk slow, embrace the heat and always smi... - Cornell University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Buddhism which was something I was very interested in and I also learned how to meditate as well. Now that I'm back home, I plan on meditating as much as possible as a way to relieve stress. This trip was my first time to Asia and I really loved it. It was the best decision I made and I'm hoping that I'll g... - Pace University View Entire Review
This was the most enlightening experience I've ever had. I gained insight into two new cultures as well as a region of the world I new nothing about. I learned a lot about myself too, putting myself in situations (good and slightly uncomfortable) that I had never thought about before. - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee View Entire Review
From my experience, I learned independence. I learned how to live in a culture so different from my own and love it for all that it is. I gained a sense of self being able to thrive in another country, and I will forever be thankful for that. Thailand became a home away from home and the level of comfort I felt in Chiang Mai is ... - University of Georgia View Entire Review
While studying abroad I learned skills I cannot learn anywhere else. I learned how to adapt to a new environment, language, and culture. I gained valuable intercultural communication skills and learned new perspectives on global issues. I also gained personal growth. I was able to break out of my comfort zone while abroad and I'... - Miami University View Entire Review

I'm a peer advisor in Pace's Study Abroad office, and what I always tell my students is that the number one thing I got, and that people tend to get from study abroad, is personal growth. I became so much more open and willing to do things and expand my horizons, and I was more adventurous than I've ever been before in my life. ... - Pace University View Entire Review
From this internship i was able to gain real world experience. In addition, I learned about the landscape industry. - Florida International University View Entire Review
I gained so much knowledge about what life is like in another country. I learned different perspectives on issues I didn't even know existed. My experience in Thailand was beyond worthwhile. - Temple University View Entire Review
My time abroad was definitely worthwhile. Prior to this trip, I had no international travel. Now, I consider myself to be a more confident person in general. I gained more awareness of my role as a global citizen. Studying abroad broadened my world view and made me gain a deeper appreciation of people and the earth. I learned to... - University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass View Entire Review
You don’t realize how far a simple smile can go until you experience it in place of words, and I don’t think there was one day I didn’t feel the radiating kindness. From the wholesome, simple lifestyle in the village, to the music blasting at Zoe in Yellow, each person reflected pure joy in what they were doing because they did ... - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
I learned how to better get out of my comfort zone and better listen to other people. As an outsider, I wanted to respect Thai culture as much as possible and through studying abroad, my eyes were opened to new cultures, experiences, and adventures. This experience was 100% worthwhile. - Winthrop University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, Thailand, and SE Asia throughout my experience abroad. I have never established such deep connections with friends so quickly. It was very easy to find home in Chiang Mai. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and it completely opened my eyes to a different way of life and was such a positive chan... - Eugene Lang College - The New School for Liberal Arts View Entire Review
My time abroad gave me the most memorable months of my life. I learned so many skills in independence, financial planning and travelling! I can now travel anywhere with confidence and excitement. I can walk into a room of strangers and have no issue introducing myself and joining a conversation. I now have friends across the pla... - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
Through this program, I was able to step out of my comfort zone and experience a one in a lifetime opportunity! One of my favorite memories from this program would be the one week home-stay we did in the beginning of the semester. Despite not knowing the language, I truly developed a relationship with my family that I'll never f... - Pace University View Entire Review

I gained a lot of professional and educational knowledge while abroad. It was very worthwhile because I feel very prepared on the next steps I have to take in my educational path. - Villanova University View Entire Review
I gained the experiences of a lifetime. I traveled with friends and gained knowledge on how to be a safe and efficient traveler without my parents helping me. It was definitely worthwhile. - California Lutheran University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile and i learned a lot about myself through the process - College of Charleston View Entire Review

As you read in my title, I am a better friend, daughter and person because of Chiang Mai. It taught me more about myself than I realized I had to learn. The patience and cultural appreciation you learn to have for the people and the country come back to the states with you and I truly think they will make you a better person bec... - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review
