"My experience was definitely worthwhile, I learned so much about Spanish culture. "
A student Cornell University
"A significant increase in my language ability with Mandarin, definitely worthwhile."
A student Cornell University
"It was amazing. Words cannot describe. I learned to look at the bigger picture, that there is a whole world -people, places, food, etc- out there that the microcosm of Cornell does not even begin to reveal. "
A student Cornell University
"It was the best thing I have ever done. I learned more than I ever have and we did it while hiking, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling. We learned so much and made life-long friends while doing once-in-a-lifetime experiences. "
A student Cornell University
"I learned International work experience"
Nicole N Cornell University
"I was able to expand my comfort zone by studying and working in a city I had never been to before and didn't know the language. I went on adventures by myself everyday and became very independent. It was definitely worthwhile."

"Most definitely worthwhile. Changed my career path and overall outlook."

"My French improved by leaps and bounds, I made French friends that I will be in touch with for a long time, I found my true passion in life through the baking course that EDUCO offered, where I got an internship later on. It was the most incredible experience in my college career to date. "

"YES!"
A student Cornell University
"This trip was 10000% worth while. I loved every bit of it from the new friends, the nights spent dancing, classes, joining sports teams, meeting international students. It was a great experience. I learned to appreciate a different way of life, a slower pace which was very relaxing."
A student Cornell University
"This program was great about pushing us to think outside our own perspective, which is really necessary for understanding China. I feel like I've broadened my horizons quite a lot."

"INCREDIBLY! I would not have gone anywhere else. I loved DIS, but loved Copenhagen and Denmark even more. My studies and surroundings have encouraged me to perhaps try out architecture, and stray from my originally-intended "City Planning". I am finding more meaning in sustainable design, and Nordic strategies."

"Every day I am meeting new people, trying new foods, finding new cities to travel to, all while maintaining my engineering studies at Universidad de Cantabria. Without study abroad I would have never been able to understand European culture - reading about siesta is one thing, but I didn't actually understand the importance of t..."
