"Very worthwhile."
Kevin C George Mason University
"I will never do this again and will do whatever in my power to not have anyone else do this study abroad program."
Saman B George Mason University
"Yes, I have changed my job goals since the experience."
Lisa B George Mason University
"I would give ten stars to this program if I could! This experience really opened my eyes and changed my perceptions and opinions on a lot of things- about the conflict, about the region, about myself. The day-to-day experiences were really the best to learn from. One day I would be working on a grant proposal for my internship a..."
Nicole G George Mason University
"yes"
Hawa C George Mason University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much more fluency in the language by being totally immersed in it, and I was able to put my education into use. Living in Buenos Aires was just like living in any big city in the United States except everyone spoke another language- it made me think, or at least consider more, of living ..."
Molly C George Mason University
"I learned how to live and get around in a city. Once you master that, you can generally get around in any city. My ability and my confidence in speaking Spanish definitely improved. "
Erica G George Mason University
"No. I wasted $8,000 on a program that taught me next to nothing. I could have spent the money touring and country and enjoying the experience a lot more."
Lauryn G George Mason University
"Yes, it definitely was. I had a lot of fun, learned french, while being in an awesome city. After being in Montreal for 6 weeks, I didn't really want to leave, and I can't wait to go back for a weekend."
John T George Mason University
"After my study abroad experience in Buenos Aires, I feel I have both grown as an individual and as student. I am more independent and much better at taking things as they come, enjoying the current moment, and making the most of a less than likely situation. I am also more outgoing and am more motivated in school. My experience ..."
Charlie H George Mason University
"I gained a sense of adventure and a passion for traveling. I also learned how to budget and to be more open-minded. On a trip like this, things are often out of your control, so it was important for me to learn how to "play it by ear." I feel like my cultural awareness has skyrocketed, even though this was my only real exper..."
Greta v George Mason University
"I was not satisfied with the program - i think it was slightly misreading in that the structure of the courses was not explained fully or clearly. If I had known I was going to a "specialty school" (School of Art & Design) I would never have gone considering 1-my major had nothing to do with that and 2- I have no artistic abilit..."
Brittany W George Mason University
"Before this study abroad, I did a semester internship abroad in London and it was one of the greatest and most challenging times in my life. I was thrown in a new culture, far away from everyone I knew and I had to adapt. As a history major at GMU, this was absolutely the best way to learn about history and Irish culture. It ..."
Amy J George Mason University
"Seeing the rain-forest in person is indescribable and the coral reefs there blow away some of the ones you can see in the U.S. and its territories. I am returning to Belize as soon as my degree is finished. I can see myself living there in the future."
Sam H George Mason University
"Yes, this was definitely worthwhile. My language skills improved greatly and it was wonderful to experience another culture. I had been studying abroad that previous year in Malta, so it was nice to compare and contrast American, Maltese, and French culture. I definitely have a better understanding and outlook on my major (Gl..."
Anne S George Mason University
"Yes, it was very well worth every moment. I would definitely do it all over again if I was given the chance."
