"I learned a lot about myself. I know that I can definitely be an ex-patriot, although knowing more of the language would help. I think I would have gotten more out of it if I had learned another language while abroad. Overall great people, traveling and everyday experience."
Ashley M Clark University
"Studying here has helped shaped my path academically and opened my interests to a new field of study."
Justin B Clark University
"Yes. I have learned a lot about myself and about others through this program. It's very rare that one gets the opportunity to study with some of the best minds in the world. It's stressful, but in the end you can proudly declare that you once attended the LSE. Not many can say that. "
Steven B Clark University
"Yes, it was a lot different from what I had expected initially and from what I understood the program to be from the description. I gained a better knowledge and comfort of speaking the Spanish language. I gained a better perception of local knowledge and culture. I gained field experience and experience doing research adn writi..."

"Yes yes yes. This is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. It has been eye-opening, as well as ENDLESS fun. 6 months here and still not a dull moment. "
Max M Clark University
"Yes it was absolutely amazing, I wouldn't change a thing. I met so many amazing people who I still keep in touch with and plan on getting together with this summer. I saw so many amazing places and the experience totally changed how I look at my future and what I want to do with my life. You realize how much more to life is out ..."
Heather R Clark University
"I love to travel and no matter what I think it is worthwhile. You gain independance and an understanding of different cultures."
Elizabeth S Clark University
"YES! I learned a lot about myself and matured a lot while abroad. I feel like I can handle anything now that I've survived living in another country. I have more confidence, more wordly knowledge, and I appreciate the effectiveness of my home country more. I improved my French and my understanding of French people (as not Parisi..."

Eugene M Clark University
"This program was above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Though I learned a lot in the classrooms, I feel like the real lessons came from living in a different country, meeting people of all different ethnicities, and learning about Australian culture by experiencing it first hand. The landscape is beautiful, the p..."
Laurie C Clark University
"I gained worldy knowledge but the classes and schoolwork was horrible. I felt like I was wasting money being there. It should not have been the same costs as Clark tuition."
Shannon F Clark University
"Totally worth it, I gained in depth understanding of a different culture and really got to understand what it is like to view a place as a non-native. My spanish improved dramatically and it is one of my most prized skills now. "
Claire F Clark University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I'm now doing a directed study this semester on Scottish history during the time of the Jacobites and the battle of Culloden because that's what I studied about while I was there. It was great to meet so many people from different places in the world and experience a differen..."
Lauren A Clark University
"This was the best experience of my entire life. I learned more about international development in one semester than I did in 3 years of college. The program is well-organized and Namibians are wonderful people. I wish I was still there."
Kimberly H Clark University
"I had a great time in London. I learned a lot about where I want to fit into the professional world as well as the kind of person I want to be."
Lillian D Clark University
"The experience was worthwhile, and I'm glad and proud of myself that I did it. I cannot say that it was the absolute best time of my life, but that is how I gained so much personal growth. I am glad now that I had some difficult times, some challenges to face, because I could not have had those if I hadn't been on my own on the ..."
Marlene M Clark University
"The immersion, hands down. Classes were great and they definitely supported us in our field assignments, but the time we spent in our communities was invaluable. I don't know of many other programs where cultural immersion as academically and socially crucial as it was for us. We were and will always be outsiders in the Dominica..."
