Morgan Tasseff Longwood University
"I learned how different Denmark is from America, and in a lot of ways I saw it as better. It was such a worthwhile experience being able to explore a new city on my own while still having my housing taken care of and taking a class. "

"Definetly worth while"
A student Longwood University
"Studying abroad was very worthwhile. I gained independence that I thought didn't exist. I also learned what it feels like to be an international student. It's hard, it relates me to the international students at my home school and I now want to make them feel like this is their home too. "
Katharine S Longwood University
"How people in other cultures live, schooling, customs."
A student Longwood University
"I could write endlessly about what I gained/learned from my study abroad experience. It was literally the experience of a life time. I made lifelong friendships with the people in my program, roommates, and local friends that I made. I matured and gained a better insight of myself. I became more independent. I have a better cult..."
A student Longwood University
"I learned how to get around using public transportation (taxis, inner-city buses, transnational buses). Worthwhile? Sure, but I want to go back to Latin America on my own terms, instead of only being there to get good grades and satisfy my home university's requirements. I want to explore and get really into the cultures and ..."

"I learned more about the culture of Argentina and was able to partake in many aspects of the culture. I learned more about myself. I became more independent and more patient. My language skills improved considerably, or at least I feel like they did. They're not as good as they could be, but... I'm pleased. It was defini..."
Amber M Longwood University
"Yes. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I learned so much about myself in such a challenging, yet fun environment. I made great friends in such a short amount of time and there is nothing I would change. "
Courtney S Longwood University
"I returned from Hungary with the knowledge that I can do anything I set my mind to. No challenge is too big. My family is Hungarian, so I really cherished the opportunity to live for a short time in the country my grandfather came from. It was amazing to experience daily life in a different culture. Academically, BSM confirmed m..."
Nikole V Longwood University
"I feel like my fluency with German is better and I have a very worldly view on life now. Europe is amazing, and getting to live there is even more amazing. It is so cool to not only see a different culture, but get to live it too. "

Bryan W Longwood University
"Because I was in a new environment, I was better able to discover what I believe and think myself (without my usual societal influences) and better able to understand the person I am. My academic interests have not changed but I am aware now that there is more to life than just math. I also believe that I've gained a new perspec..."
Crystal P Longwood University
"I learned a lot about the European culture and how hard it can be for people moving to a new culture trying to learn their language and customs. I now have a new apreciation for my future ESL students and I will know what they are going to go through."
Dani R Longwood University
"I have changed a lot. Its very eye opening to come to other cultures and visit countries that you've only heard about. The world is so huge, yet life is life wherever you go. People still go to the grocery store in Paris and wash their cars in Portugal. Being an American is something to be proud of, but you also have to prove yo..."
Merrie D Longwood University
"I learned a ton about Spanish and Valencian history, and saw almost everything that I had planned on seeing. I now intend to visit Spain in the future, specifically Valencia, as I have made friends I plan to see again. My Spanish comprehension and speaking ability skyrocketed, as I had very little contact with the English langua..."
