Hector Q University of the Pacific
"The language. It was completely worth it!"
A student University of the Pacific
"I'm taking many lessons back with me from my time here but one thing I really think impacted me was the level of responsibility so much freedom has. You have to manage your time and money all while exploring a brand new country away from everyone you know. And it's totally worth it. "
Michele G University of the Pacific
"I learned so much more about myself, what the world has to offer and about how differently people live. It was almost completely opposite from how I live at home, which made me realize some things that I will need to change once I get back. Being away from family was the hardest part, but what got me through was the fact that I ..."
A student University of the Pacific
"I learned a lot about how a country can make the rapid transition from communism to capitalism in 20 years. Also, I learned that of all the places I have been (nearly every major city in Western Europe) Prague is definitely one of the most beautiful. "
Mike E University of the Pacific
"I gained an ability to be more independent. It was worth it because I was able to learn more about myself and what I want for my life. "
A student University of the Pacific
"Incredible travel opportunities"
amanda.praestholm University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"Learned how to take a step back and actually enjoy life, rather than having a perpetual goal at all times. Also learned how to create lasting friendships and how to truly care for people that are in your life, even if they are just the people serving you cappucinos every day. "
Sam K University of the Pacific
"Adapting to a different culture, experiencing true independence. Absolutely worthwhile. "
A student University of the Pacific
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I want to move back as soon as I graduate."
A student University of the Pacific
"i learned a lot about myself by putting myself in challenging situations. I've made reactions that surprised me but now i understand why i made those reactions."
Joe Ben R University of the Pacific
"I honestly can't even sum up what I learned while abroad because I gained so much from the experience. Simply being thrown into a completely different culture, where everything is basically exactly the opposite of where I live in America, was priceless. I gained self motivation, confidence, a ton of new friends, some new languag..."
A student University of Maine at Orono
"I had a great time and I learned a lot about the European culture. IT was cool taking International marketing abroad."
Erika S University of the Pacific
"It was definitely a worthwhile experience. It was challenging to enter an entirely new environment, but I really enjoyed meeting new people, learning to cook for myself, surviving on a budget, and taking classes taught by world-renowned professors. "
A student Wellesley College
"It was worthwhile. I learned how to play golf at St. Andrews, which was the highlight of my experience. I also always feel it is a good idea to expose yourself to different cultures."
St.AndrewsStudyAbroadStudent Wellesley College
"I really enjoyed not being at Wellesley, being able to chill out and not take everything so seriously all of the time. I also found a lot of independence, the educational system there is really sink or swim, you don't need to go to class and they don't remind you of tuition payment deadlines, course registration times, or even t..."
A student Wellesley College
"My ability to empathize with people from other cultures has grown tremendously. I truely know what it is like to live in a foreign land where you do not know or understand the day to day workings of that society."
A student University of the Pacific
"I learned how extremely blessed I am and how much I have to be grateful for. I saw and experienced poverty like I have never witnessed before. This was incredibly worthwhile and such an amazing experience. "
A student University of the Pacific
"I learned a lot of things about myself and also about my dreams and ambitions in life. Definitely worthwhile. "
A student University of the Pacific
"I learned that I love living in the city. I love being able to walk everywhere and there is always something to do. I learned that the first two weeks of studying abroad are the hardest and that you just have to keep yourself busy to get over it. I learned that there's no room for shyness when studying abroad. It was completely ..."
A student University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned so many things from my time abroad. I mostly learned to fine-tune my people skills and how to think on my feet and stay calm when running into difficulties when traveling. "
A student University of Maine at Orono
"Yes, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I learned differences between cultures, how to open up and interact with locals and I increased my language skills at least enough to get by. I just wish there was more emphasis on the language. I met people from other programs and they had at least 10-20 hours of language. "
Samantha B University of the Pacific
"My experience was so worthwhile, I loved it. I learned a lot, and I leanred many things that I'll probably not even aware of yet. I learned that I want to keep learning; the world is so big and there is an infinite number of things to learn and people to meet. I never want to stop seeing things. Each trip helps me to get to know..."
