Study Abroad with Eastern College Consortium (ECCO)
"Completely worthwhile. I came not believing I would really learn the language, and was scared of living and learning with Italian students. Those aspects of the program that scared me most ended up being he best part. I explored a culture, stuck through the uncomfortable part (out of necessity) and earned so much for it."
A student Wellesley College
"Yes."
Gracie L Wellesley College
"I learned more about myself: what I like and dislike and what new things I want to try."
A student Wellesley College
"The main thing I learned is Italian. There is no better or faster way to learn a language than living in the country in which it is spoken and in the process I learned about a different culture. The tempo, people, and way of life is so different in Italy than from the U.S.. I really see myself living here in the future. The prog..."

"Worthwhile for sure. I learned how to cook, how to roll a joint, how to chill out, and how to travel. What more could you ask for?"
A student Wellesley College
"Can't really reduce this answer to a little box because I learned so much and grew in so many ways, so I'd definitely say it was worthwhile."
A student Bowdoin College
"I learned many things about the Italian language and was able to befriend several locals. It was fantastic."
Matthew G Bowdoin College
"My semester abroad was probably the best thing I've done in college. It was an incredible experience, Bologna is amazing, Italy is amazing."
Anna B Bowdoin College
"My semester in Bologna was definitely worthwhile. I can now say that I llived with Italian students, studied Dante with native speakers, and traveled to more cities than I thought possible in such a short time while still getting to know Bo. I wouldn't want to have studied abroad anywhere else."
A student Vassar College
"The experience itself was a dream come true! I learned about myself and how I can further become a global citizen. It was worth every penny!!!"
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile! I improved my language skills, became a more experienced traveller, and became more independent overall. "

A student Wellesley College
"The ECCO program was extremely worthwhile because it gave me the chance to become fluent in Italian by requiring me to use it on a daily basis and in a variety of settings. I also learned valuable information about Italian history, art, literature, food, music, and culture! "
A student Wellesley College
"There's so much that I gained from my experience that I cannot write it all in a small box... However, I would do it a million times over. It was extremely worth while. "
Maria S Wellesley College
"I learned a lot both personally and academically. I really enjoyed experiencing a different university system and gaining different insights."
A student Wellesley College
"So much. I don't even know where to begin. Totally worthwhile, though it wasn't necessarily the best time for me emotionally to be abroad (my sophomore year was turbulent to say the least). I had a lot of time for self-reflection. "
A student Wellesley College
"Yes it was worthwhile! I gained a ton of confidence that I've now brought back with me to campus and is helping me deal with adapting to my return from abroad. I discovered a lot about myself, like the things that are important to me (happiness, no stress, friendship, exploration, intellectual freedom, curiosity, health). This e..."

A student Wellesley College
"Insight, broader perspective on life, the importance and unimportance of certain aspects of life,"
