Past Review "Amazing Time In Groningen" SUNY Geneseo: Groningen - University of Groningen

"I had the most amazing time in Groningen. At first I was sad to leave home and missed friends and family, but by the end I was in tears to be leaving the friends and family I made in Groningen. The school aspect was great and everything, but the best part was being able to travel all over Europe and making friends from Finland..."

Past Review Western Outlook Into Classical Studies SUNY Geneseo: Traveling - Mediterranean Roots Summer Program

"I truly believe I want to learn more about business & law. As a political science major I was able to see how different governments work & how the masses react to their governments around the world. Now I understand what media tells you is not always the whole story or how it can be changed to make you think of something else. "

Past Review Ghana: An Experience Of A Lifetime SUNY Geneseo: Kumasi - Global Health in Ghana

"I learned more about myself on this trip than I did about Global Health. Being put in a completely different environment, I was forced out of my comfort zone. I had to learn to adapt to accommodate others, rather than having people adapt to accommodate me. I went into the trip looking for clarity about what career I should ch..."

Past Review Ghana: Extremely Rewarding, Difficult At Times, But Very Eye Opening And Completely Worth It SUNY Geneseo: Kumasi - Global Health in Ghana

"What i gained from this study abroad wasnt so much from the class, but more so what i saw with my own eyes and experienced. I think this trip is completely worth but i wouldnt go on the same program again. I felt like we were tied down very much and not allowed to experience what we wanted as much as we should have. I felt like ..."

Past Review University Of The West Indies At Mona, Jamaica SUNY Geneseo: Mona - University of the West Indies

"Seeing people living with scrap metal as their housing materials has definitely given me a more global outlook. Everyone needs to leave the United States and see another country, and personally I believe it has to be a third world country of some kind."

Past Review Strikes, Travel, Language And Love! SUNY Geneseo: Montpellier - Universite Paul Valery - Montpellier III

"While I learned so, so much French while abroad, I also learned that fluency is going to take a lot of work and so I can't stop here. After my semester in France, I spent a month in different parts of central Africa and was extremely happy to have the opportunity to speak French with people there as well. I don't know that I'd w..."

Past Review Cordoba, Argentina: I Had A Quite Rewarding Experience. SUNY Geneseo: Cordoba - Universidad Nacional de Cordoba

"Absolutely. I lived in a foreign country and was forced to speak a foreign language. I learned that I can do it, I can live in a different hemisphere for four months without my family and friends and survive. It helped me become more independent and forced me to be more observant than I would be ordinarily."
