"I learned a lot about the language and the Japanese people as well as their culture. I already had an idea about what it would be like but was shown I knew very little.

"Intercultural understanding and being able to experience how people live in Europe."
Patrick C Bentley University
"Its so difficult to organize what I learned from my experience abroad but it was most definitely worth while.

I learned so much about the cultural differences ..."
A student Villanova University

Also some direction for my life post graduation realizing that there are many more possibilities than I originally believed ie travel, living abroad, peace corps etc. (not just obtaining a corporate job)."
Marissa G Bentley University
"I grew up so much during my time abroad. I learned how to manage my money, live on my own, use public transportation efficiently, and overall take care of myself. More than that, I grew up emotionally. I discovered what and who in my life is the most important, and what things matter more than others. By the end of the trip, I f..."
