My experience was above and beyond what I expected of the program. I have made friends from all walks of life that I will cherish forever. I now have a more complete understanding of the direction I am heading in for the future as I pursue a degree in International Development. I was able to take advantage of once in a lifetime ...

I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I saw a lot of Chile. It was totally worth it and I would do it again katie s - University of Nebraska- Lincoln View Entire Review
Living in a new country for a semester opened my eyes to the vastness and diversity of the world we live in, but also helped me to see that people from all backgrounds can be considered as part of our "world family." I saw and experienced things I never would have had the chance to staying in the United States, and overall I thi... Madison D - Drake University View Entire Review
Have fun whatever is going on in the situations Carlos A - Berea College View Entire Review
I really enjoyed trying to speak a new language and the experience of living in a foreign city. However, I found it difficult to integrate into the local culture because of the way they treat women. I was very uncomfortable much of the time. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
This was the experience of a lifetime and a dream come true! I've always dreamed of traveling to and living in New Zealand. Now, thanks to TEAN, I can say I've done that! I have lived in New Zealand for 5 months and it was 5 of the best months of my life. I learned more than I can ever put into words. Studying abroad has chan...

I learned more about myself. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I feel like I became connected with a part of the world that is often overlooked. And what made it even cooler was not only meeting new international people, but also other students I studied with from America who will be new friends I keep in touch with for a long time. Matthew D - University of Dayton View Entire Review
I learned heaps about myself and a lot about other cultures. It was more than worthwhile. Cincy.2014 - University of Cincinnati View Entire Review
I think I got a lot independence and self confidence knowing that I was thousands of miles away and I had to independent and outgoing. It was more than worthwhile, I would do it all over again in a heart beat. nicole c - Framingham State College View Entire Review
As my 2nd study abroad experience, Thailand changed my perspective dramatically. Coming here reaffirmed my ambitions to pursue a career with the Department of State by affording me the opportunity to travel to Nepal and work inside the U.S. embassy in Kathmandu. Traveling here also challenged my ability to travel in a country wh... David D - Champlain College View Entire Review
I learned a ton about myself and my Latin American roots. I found a whole new joy of using Spanish as much as English in conversation. Going abroad just made me want to do it again!! Alexandra P - Point Loma Nazarene University View Entire Review
Overall, I really was challenged personally, and simultaneously I was challenged by the culture and the reality of the experiences. Generally, I feel like my mind has been opened to just one part of the world that has changed my perspective on how I see the world, in terms of brokenness and reality of what's really going on. As... Jenica B - Seattle Pacific University View Entire Review
So many personal experience that is so hard to explain in just this review. So worthwhile and amazing! Stephanie S - San Diego State University View Entire Review
During my time abroad I learned countless lessons from how to be self-sufficent in a foreign country, to lessons on foreign culture while being immersed in all new things. It was very worthwhile and an amazing experience. Matt M - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
I learned another language and gained new friends! It was very much so worth while! A student - Berea College View Entire Review
It was 1000% worthwhile! I learned how to live with a person from a different background, learned how to speak a foreign language and live/navigate my way through a foreign city. I learned incredible things about a part of the world that I had no prior knowledge of and was exposed to some of the most breathtaking natural landsca... Brynne S - College of Charleston View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was challenging, serene, and unforgettable. I learned so many things about the world and most importantly myself that I would have never discovered otherwise. Studying abroad in Thailand taught me the beauty of another language, race, and culture. One of the most important things I learned in Southea... Italia W - University of Tampa View Entire Review
My experience abroad for 5 months was an incredible time learning a new culture, meeting new friends, traveling to different cities and countrysides, speaking a new language, and eating new foods. I would recommend this program and country to anyone! Emily S - University of Maryland - College Park View Entire Review
When asked why I chose to study abroad, I would initially respond with a rather generic answer such as, “to broaden my horizons”, or “to see another part of the world”. Little did I know that I would in fact grow in so many ways. Through my semester in Thailand with TEAN, I was able to fully immerse myself in, what I have come t... Katy B - College of Charleston View Entire Review
I learned about the cultures and what is normal in England and in Germany while I also learned about myself. It was absolutely worthwhile and I would go again in a heartbeat!!! Alexa H - GAP Year Students View Entire Review
