A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"A lot about myself, being independent, film, and about European culture. Super worthwhile. "
A student Barnard College
"I gained a lot of new friends, Chinese, American, and friends from all over the world. I gained a lot more confidence in myself. Every experience I had, the good times and bad were all worth it. Every experience is a good experience! "
A student Roger Williams University
"-Increased self-confidence -Friends from around the world -Greater interest in international affairs and politics -Yes, it was definitely worthwhile!"
Jennifer S The College of William and Mary
"I gained a deeper understanding of myself, my privilege, and my relationship to materialism. I began to grasp the complexity and difficulty of understanding and participating in a foreign culture. I also better understand the problems and benefits of service abroad. The experience was fully worthwhile"
A student Fordham University
"It was very worthwhile. I gained a lot, not only academic knowledge from campus, but how to deal with cultural differences and connecting with people from drastically different backgrounds. I cannot possibly list everything I've learned but it consisted of valuable lessons about adaptability, open-mindedness, and risk-taking. "
A student Fordham University
"It was totally worthwhile! I learned so much about myself. I gained a different perspective to view things and being able to compare government, politics, and culture between two countries was what I hoped to gain and I did. "
A student Fordham University
"I learned valuable life skills and how to be my own person independently, without family or anything I'm familiar with around me. It was definitely worthwhile!"

"Taking 5 Spanish classes was challenging, but worth it in the end. The entire study abroad experience in Barcelona was so wonderful including social, cultural, and academic areas.
