Past Review A Mile From London, A Whole New Experience Arcadia: London - Queen Mary University of London

Past Review Sunshine In Sydney Arcadia: Sydney - University of Sydney

"I believe that results may vary for this first question, but I definitely believe it was worthwhile! I gained quite a bit of insight into the culture of Australia (for example, why they don't like being asked if they're British).

Past Review Sunsets & Pasta Arcadia: ISI Perugia - The Umbra Institute

"Living in Perugia, I gained a lot of appreciation for the Italian culture. I learned a lot about myself and how I interact with novel experiences.

Past Review New Zealand: The Chance To Embolden The Character You've Always Wanted Arcadia: Auckland - University of Auckland

"Haha there is no way I could fit all I learned when I was abroad in this box. It was quite worthwhile.

The people working at ..."

Past Review An Unexpected Magical Ride Arcadia: London - London Internship Program

"Since I was on the internship program I did not have the typical "party every day" experience that a lot of people have. Partially, because no student living in London can afford to have that kind of life, but also because work and classes kept me busy and wore me out during the week. It was amazing to live in a big city, even t..."

Trinity University
Past Review Business And Pleasure Arcadia: Edinburgh - Scottish Universities International Summer School

"What I gained from my experience abroad was practice in self sufficiency.

I learned about the culture of another country and about the similarities that can be found ..."
