"It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, solidifying my interest in marine biology and field research. It was not an experience that I would have gotten anywhere else."
Karissa L Clark University
"So worth it! Best experience of my life!"
Jacqueline B Clark University
"My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained better understanding of people my age from different countries. It really doesn't matter where you come from because many of us are still going through the same things. I also feel a lot more comfortable traveling alone as well as in Europe. People are very friendly and if you're..."
Molly W Clark University
"My experience was greatly worthwhile. Due to stress caused from my visa it definitely took some of the pleasure and value out of it. I am much more culturally tolerant and people wise than I was before I did this program. I am very fluent in the language and can live by myself in the country with few problems accompanying me...."
Kirsten P Clark University
"I loved the experience, and wanted exposure to research, but prior to SFS I knew I did not want to be a career researcher...my SFS experience confirmed that. "
Andrea M Clark University
"Yes! It was great. It made me completely infatuated with the ocean. "
Serena G Clark University
"I learned that the world is far more intricate than I originally thought. I learned to live in close quarters with my fellow students, professors and staff. Patience was definitely needed as well as team spirit. The experience also confirmed my passion and interest in conservation biology. "
Katherine F Clark University
"Like i stated in my words of wisdom, it is America with an accent and more rain. The greatest gain the program got me was a new confidence in myself when facing adverse situations. It is sad that these adverse situations occurred from abysmal help and responsibility on Clark and Stirling's parts."
Krzysztof D Clark University
"Yes, this program was worth it to me because of the great academic experience and opportunity to live in a small town and get a glimpse at the true Costa Rican life. "
Corinne C Clark University
"Tanzania was nothing like I expected. I never thought that people in so much desperation for basic needs and medical help could be as happy and warm-hearted as the people I became in contact with in the East African country. The program was everything I could have wanted and more. When it came to studying wildlife management (th..."
Daniel R Clark University
"Definitly. "
Julie Alexandra T Clark University
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. I would love to go back! My only regret was not being able to travel as much as I had hoped to. The opportunity of being abroad really allows one to grow in independence and self reliance. "
Anastasiya B Clark University
"Got to know myself better, got to travel Europe on the month-long Easter break, got to be independent. Hasn't changed my future plans, except that now I feel much more ready to graduate and live new places, try new things etc."
Lisa P Clark University
"It was absolutely amazing"
Tamar G Clark University
"Very much worthwhile. I met fantastic people that I've kept in contact with, which was the most beneficial part of the entire experience."
Cassandra V Clark University
"This experience is something I will remember forever, and I would never take it back for anything. It was so incredible, that I feel there are no words that I could place on the experience that would justify how wonderful it was. I feel so much more culturally aware and appreciative and the semester in Spain helped me determine ..."
Aliza S Clark University
"Going to Tasmania was a huge learning experience for me. I really was able to come out of my shell and do so many things I never thought I would do. I feel like I've grown as a person, gained a better appreciation of different cultures, and really learned that I am strong and independent, and can adapt to any environment I end u..."
Brook G Clark University
"I definitely think studying abroad was worth while. I mean even with the hard parts you learn about yourself and what you want from your school and your education, you will grow despite everything."
Meghan H Clark University
"This program allowed me to enjoy being by myself and exploring a new city and its surroundings. It also helped me be more confident in my traveling abilities and has made me want to continue traveling throughout my career and life. "
Alyssa C Clark University
"Yes, absolutely. It made me so much more self-confident, I got first-hand exposure to the challenges of development and working in the developing world, and my internship exposed me to an issue, electronic waste, that I was not aware of but that I've now pursued back in the US and am writing my senior thesis on. Being in Ghana ..."
Graham K Clark University
"It was by far my best college experience yet. It has reinforced my future plans and gave me a grounding for my actions in society."
Tim S Clark University
"Yes yes yes"
Katelyn H Clark University
"Yes!!! A good combonation of comfort (supportive staff, living with Americans) and challenge (living with host families, going on trips, taking a language class). Very sensitive to cultural differences and encouraging of open-mindedness and understanding. Wonderful program."
Helen W Clark University
"It was definitely worthwhile, especially since I have never lived out-of-state before. Washington, D.C. is an incredible city and I learned how to live on my own (and with strangers...). Being here really solidified my plans to become a teacher!"
Jean D Clark University
