"Without a doubt."
Jiezhen W Wellesley College
"Yes, it was well worthwhile."
Corinne P Middlebury College
"I continue even now, three months later, to reflect on how Madagascar changed me as a person and how I view my life here in America. I can't say that this program made me understand where I am headed, but it definitely helped to define how I will move forward. I think on an academic level, however, the program could have been be..."
Langstaff T Middlebury College
"I think I grew a lot as a person because I was alone a lot and had to create my own happiness many times. I definitely learned some about the host country, but I do not think it changed any of my interests/plans/awareness."
Hannah P Middlebury College
"This program has widen my scope on the impacts of war on a community and a country as a whole."
Samantha M Austin College
"Absolutely. I learned so much about Kenyan culture and a little bit about the challenges of delivering aid abroad. It helped me focus on whether or not I actually want to live in Africa and do some sort of health or development work after college. I learned a lot about myself and also a lot about how to do field research, which ..."
Sarah O Middlebury College
"Even though I have been back for almost two months, I still cant really wrap my head around everything that it meant. It was monumental - but not necessarily in a good way. It made me think - maybe too much. "
Hannah S Middlebury College
"Yes, very worthwhile"
Sarah C Middlebury College

Sameen W Austin College

Melissa M Middlebury College
"I'm so glad that I studied abroad when I did, where I did."
Rebecca E Wellesley College
"It was overall an amazing experience that's really hard to encapsulate in these questions. Everyone should do a program that puts them out of their comfort zone like this one does."
Stuart F Middlebury College
"Absolutely. I now have an incredible connection to an amazing people and amazing people and I feel reinvigorated academically. "
Melissa S Middlebury College
"In a country rapidly westernizing, I learned that people with less concern for objects have happier lifestyles. "
James B Sarah Lawrence College
"More than anything, the experience has given me an idea for my senior thesis. I don't think I would have been able to decide on a thesis topic this early with a semester abroad at PC. "
Ruth D Providence College
"Being in Morocco was the most incredible experience i could have had. I learned so many little things in life that you overlook when you're surrounded by comfort in the US. It was an amazing adventure that i wish i could live all over again."
liz r Austin College
"Gave me a new perspective on the learning process and the current political climate in the world and specifically sub-saharan Africa."
A student

Vaida R Harvard University
"My experience was certainly worthwhile; it was sublime. I now speak Spanish and am much more aware of the many other cultures of the world. This experience inspired me to continue working toward environmental and social justice."
Mark W Trinity University
"YES! One of the best, most intense experiences of my life."
Lindsay W Trinity University
"Absolutely worthwhile - a crazy roller coaster, but worth every minute. Natural resource management basically studies how to balance environmental and social welfare. You can't make decisions about protecting the environment without also helping the people that depend strongly on their ancestral lands - and "helping" is not gi..."
Carly G Wellesley College
"My study abroad experience taught me to be more patient and allowed me to learn about myself in a completely novel environment. The program was amazingly well-developed and the local staff were incredibly helpful. This experience has made me realize how much of the world there is to see and has made me want to go abroad again ..."
Elise G Carleton College
"As I mentioned, it was the best decision I made so far in my life. I gained a lot from this experience. I not only learned so much more about myself and my limits (which applies to every study abroad program), but it is huge factor in shaping my career and academic goals. I met some very amazing people on the program too."
