Aeleah Granger University of Maine - Orono
"Italian culture and language"
ann L Parent Reviews of Study Abroad
"Study abroad is not a joke. If a student's study abroad priority is to vacation, travel, meet neat American from all over the US and party, you would be better in a different program in a larger city with a light class load. If you are interested in really studying a culture, learning the language aggressively and working hard ..."
A student Salisbury University

A student University of Maine - Orono
"It was absolutely worthwhile. It gives you more than foreign language experience. It gets you out of your comfort zone and makes you more adaptable. You also will be in scenarios where you will need problem solving skills. In my case, I also improved on my sense of direction immensely. "

A student University of Tulsa
"I learned so much about myself. I had never been away from my hometown for more than 3 weeks so this was a huge step for me. When I was in Thailand, a huge weight was lifted off of me and I had so much freedom to do what I pleased. I was able to read, write, observe, think. "
