kaitlyn.q.fitzgerald Ithaca College
"I learned a lot not only about myself, but about other cultures. It was definitely worthwhile and I am extremely happy that I was able to study abroad.

taylor.willey.18 Ithaca College
"I gained a ton more independence and travel experience. I gained friends that I love to this day and learned more about the human experience in terms of friends you don't need to bother with. I learned about art, theatre, and the histories of the cities themselves. I learned about taking opportunities instead of letting things p..."
Sarah P Ithaca College

Rory C Ithaca College
"I am a much more understanding, patient, and confident person from this experience. My study abroad experience was defined by the abroad portion rather than the study part.

Meaghan O Ithaca College
"I got to know myself, and I felt the most independant that I've felt in a long time. "
Alex M Ithaca College
"I also spoke about this a bit, but as a shy person going abroad by myself is completely out of my comfort zone and it was about testing myself. I wanted to see how well I could handle a completely different environment then I am used to. I learned a lot about myself and that I can do whatever I want. I also was able to make some..."
Sabrina S Ithaca College
"Yes. It is hard to explain how fulfilling this experience is until you go out there and do it yourself. I became independent and look at things a little different now. I am definitely interested in learning about different cultures more than I was before and would love to keep traveling. "
Cristina N Ithaca College
"YES!!!! It was honestly one of the most difficult things I've ever done but so incredibly worth it. I got homesick a lot but I'm glad I went. I learned and was exposed to so many realities of life that we don't usually see when we're living our own comfortable lives in the US. Studying abroad gets you out of that comfort zone a..."
Lydia N Ithaca College

Robert G Ithaca College
"Gained a better understanding of societal and governmental pressures in Central America. Gained a further comfortability with traveling and immersing in different cultures. Gained an interesting lens from which to reexamine our own culture and society."
Jesse B Ithaca College
"I had the best time ever while studying abroad in London. It literally transformed my life in an incredibly good way, and I will never be the same as a result. I met amazing people, did things I never thought I would do, ate things I never in a million years would have imagined I'd eat and came away from it with so many unique..."
Kelsey B Ithaca College
