I appreciated greatly the opportunities this program presented that allowed me to actually explore and learn on my own and so I fee like I personally rea..."

"I learned a lot about my spiritual and mental health because of my ISP. My class also talked about "whose reality counts." Taking in others' perspectives and others' truth is a huge takeaway"
Makayla Bucknell University

Micaela Kelly Bucknell University
"Deciding to study abroad is a decision I will never regret. Italian culture is very different from American culture. Because I wasn't in love with Rome, I tried to travel on the weekends and see new places. I made it my own experience and learned so much more than if I had just stayed in Italy. Studying abroad helped me see the ..."

"I think just in general when you're out of your social norms and comfort zone you learn so much about yourself (I know, cheesy). I think I grew and learned more about what I believe by being in different cultures both in Scotland and in other countries. It's important to travel and learn and I think that while I did learn inside..."

"GO ABROAD. You'll learn way more doing that (not necessarily in class) than you would at your home uni for another semester."

"I have become a more confident, kind, and accepting person. Every second was worth it, I would not change any part of my experience. "
Elizabeth W Bucknell University
"I learned a lot from the internship, which was probably the most worthwhile part of the whole thing. I also became a really good traveler and had an amazing time traveling Europe. Switzerland is also a place I would consider living in the future. The only part that soured the whole thing was the way that the program was run."
Morgan G Bucknell University
"While abroad I gained a great deal of independence, confidence, and a broader perspective of life. My experience was definitely worthwhile and I would do it over again and again. "
Katie F Bucknell University
"I gained a broader knowledge of the culture and indigenous peoples in both countries. I experienced the amazingly beautiful landscapes and nature in NZ and Australia. Although there are things that would have been helpful to know going into the program, overall I still enjoyed my time and do not regret in the slightest going. "

"Following a semester in Beijing, the IES Kunming program provided a lot of perspective on China as a whole. I grew very close with my home stay family and hung out with a very diverse group of friends."
Wills S Bucknell University
"This experience was absolutely amazing. Denmark is an wonderful place, DIS is an incredible program, and I met such great people. I traveled ALL over Europe, played for a Danish soccer team, made lasting bonds with my host family, and truly learned to appreciate and love the Danish culture. I gained an entirely new perspective o..."

"I've become more open-minded, and more prone to taking risks. It has made me a braver and more outgoing person (from living by myself, figuring out how to live on my own, all while knowing that John Cabot would be supporting me if something were to go wrong). "
