McKenna California Lutheran University
"I learned a lot about another country as well as a lot about myself. This was a journey where independence was needed and I was immersed in activities and situations that I would never imagined myself to be in years ago. Even being in a country that is pretty similar to the United States, there was a lot of culture and history t..."
Jenna Kobata California Lutheran University
"This experience was so worthwhile. I learned what it is like to live outside the US and how other people view the US, which was very eyeopening and humbling.

A student California Lutheran University

A student California Lutheran University
"I had been to Europe beforehand when I stayed with a host family in Germany for a month. I traveled with a group of 30 Americans and we all had a German brother or sister there when we arrived. I had zero complications and a ton of fun. Unfortunately, my experience with IBS was not like the former. The students on my trip (parti..."

Oliver T California Lutheran University
"Living in Siena was everything I wanted studying abroad to be about and more! Since Siena is a smaller city than others in Italy, it created a quaint, home-like feeling to it. By the time I left, I felt comfortable in the city and felt like one of the locals, and I always felt safe, even walking at night. I found it very fasc..."
Amanda A California Lutheran University

Ian S California Lutheran University
"I became a lot more independent and had to face problems on my own from metro difficulties to making sure I was awake on time each day for the business meetings. I gained perspective on other cultures and how good we have things in the states. I was even able to learn a lot about other states and get to know some great people. I..."
Alexis S California Lutheran University
"I learned a lot from my experience. Yes I learned a lot of educational things (since I was in school) but I learned a lot about myself, I became this adventurer I never knew I was. I picked up a love for culture I never knew I had. I learned that things aren't weird, they are just different. "
Diana G California Lutheran University
