Bryan K Fordham University
"Studying abroad is always worthwhile, but if you truly want to get in touch with local culture and really learn from the experience, this is not the right program for you. I only met a few others who were truly interested in learning from study abroad, and we had to seek out experiences ourselves. Field studies were supposed t..."

Adri D Rice University
"Studying abroad for the fall semester was hands-down the best experience of my life! I'm so glad that I chose Copenhagen. As far as European cities go, I would say that it's one of the most under-rated. Which, for a person living there, is pretty great, because you aren't bombarbed with tourists and too much tourism. That having..."
Tiffany L Georgetown University
"I gained a new outlook on the world, from traveling and being exposed to so many cultures, especially during the current refugee crisis. I learned about how Americans are viewed by Europeans and how we can act to change that outlook. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student The College of Wooster
"This trip was absolutely worthwhile. I am a commuter at home, and have never lived at school, but that was just a tiny part of the program.
