Past Review Kyoto Through The Seasons A Great Experience! Columbia University: Kyoto - Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies / KCJS

"Yes, my study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile-- overall I had a great time. I loved my host family, the friends I made on the program, and getting to know Kyoto. I really enjoyed getting to know a completely new and different culture, and getting to apply and really improve my Japanese skills."

Wellesley College
Past Review Study Abroad At Paris Iv Sorbonne Excellent! Columbia University: Paris - Reid Hall

"This was a FANTASTIC experience. I became more independent, more confident with my French, and made great friends. It was a wonderful opportunity to get off campus, spend time in France, and travel all over Europe. Say yes to as many trips and excursions as possible, because traveling within Europe is easy and fairly inexpensive..."

Barnard College
Past Review Paris Study Abroad Program Is Incomparable Columbia University: Paris - Reid Hall

"Absolutely. Living in a different city is a good experience to have. The French were much nicer than people make them out to be, especially if you make an effort to speak French."

Past Review Breaking Personal Boundaries At Kcjs Columbia University: Kyoto - Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies / KCJS

"I feel a lot more independent. I am glad I travelled on my own during Fall break. The program gives you boundaries and a sense of direction . Whatever you do on your own time, outside of school, should break all boundaries."

Past Review I Very Rarely Felt Unsafe In Paris. Columbia University: Paris - Reid Hall

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time abroad. Also, after having to deal with day-to-day crises all in French (doctors, computer repairmen, getting lost, etc), I know for sure that I will be able to adapt to any new environment."

Barnard College
Past Review Learning Japanese In Kyoto Columbia University: Kyoto - Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies / KCJS

"Yes I found it very worthwhile. My language ability improved dramatically and I gained an understanding of the local culture that would have been impossible had I not gone to Japan. It also gave me a new outlook and forced me to challenge myself by having to use Japanese even when I wasn't fully confident to do so."

Tufts University
Past Review Study Abroad In Paris! Columbia University: Paris - Reid Hall

"I love the city of Paris. And traveling through Europe. I did about one trip away per month and felt like that was a great balance. I think my abroad time has helped reinforce my sense of self-sufficiency and obviously vastly improved my french language ability."
