"I gained a wealth of cultural, historical, art historical, language, and other forms of knowledge. I also learned tango. Furthermore, outside of academics, I learned much about setting boundaries, taking care of myself, and coping with tragic family events happening at home while I was away. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Meredyth W Berea College
"It was worthwhile because I gained impactful experience from learning from locals about the country's culture and I grew my perspectives."
Hannia A Berea College
"I was able to gain knowledge from my courses and about Japan's cultures. Me and my host family often talked about the differences between Japan and America, which opened my mind to different lifestyles."
A student Berea College
"I learned about and gained a newfound respect for this unique culture."
Annika T Berea College
"Just the idea that their is so many other cultures around and America isnt the end all be all. With never being out of the country before this was a real awakening experience. Ive never been in a situation where I dont understand the people around me and their not being in escape. This was a positive thing though, It wasn't anyt..."
Brianna F Berea College
"The European lifestyle is also much more relaxed and life-focused, rather than job-focused in the US. Transportation is substantially easier because of the abundance of metro and tram lines in so many places. Overall, life in Europe seems more enjoyable and cheap compared to the US. "
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot more about London, maybe not enough about England but a lot about London. I gained more insight to tourism and how media influences tourism. It was very worthwhile."
Autumn G Berea College

"I learned a lot about Korean culture and the ideology behind it. It is an eye-opener. I would definitely go back."
Cora S Berea College
"I have a deeper appreciation for culture abroad and my own culture in America. I understand things about my friends who are international students that I never really got until I left the country."
Amy S Berea College
"I really learned to appreciate my life in America and not take things for granted. Simply hearing people regularly speak English, or having fast food to go to is something I took for granted in the US. After traveling, I am beyond grateful for my life. "
Mackenzie C Berea College
"I learned about a lot, not just about Japan's culture, but I learned more about myself. Who I am as a person. "
holly h Berea College
"I learned so much. Korean culture is amazing and has so much depth to it. Daegu is a wonderful city and I miss it so much. I also found a church of Christ in Daegu, which I went to every week. Best experience of my life, 10/10."
Gwendolin C Berea College
"Any travel is worth while especially internationally because you gain a new perspective of the world. "

A student Berea College
"I learned a lot, I gained a lot more confidence in handling daily needs by myself (ex. buying a phone card, ordering food, etc). I also gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Greek culture, and the different varieties of it in different areas of Greece. It was definitely worthwhile and I would love to go again!"
Hannah R Berea College
"It was worthwhile but I certainly would have done some things differently next time. I think I relied too much on expecting the professors/administrators to give us all the information we would need and they really left it up to us to research transportation/food in the cities we visited."
A student Berea College
"I think I've come to a really neat understanding of just how vast history is. We viewed art, architecture, and ruins that date back millennia. It's incredible to see how young you are in comparison to some of that stuff. It was really eye-opening and humbling. I also found it very nice to escape from the US for awhile... I loved..."

A student Berea College
"It increased my curiosity to see more places, and meet new people different from me. It increased my interest on learning Spanish, learning tango, and learning how have a healthier lifestyle. It made me more tolerant to people, and more tolerant to opinions/ beliefs that are different from mine. It increased a sense of collectiv..."
