"I loved living in London--it's a great city and there's so much to do. I also enjoyed seeing a different education system, though I prefer the liberal arts model. It was also nice to have and opportunity to try new things."

"I learned an immense amount about Turkey and about the region - I can't wait to go back. It was incredibly rewarding to venture to a study abroad location that I had previously studied in classes at my home university. My Turkish skills improved throughout the semester and I was able to take classes that were challenging and int..."

"Absolutely worthwhile. I learned to be self-sufficient, open-minded and how to travel."
A student Middlebury College
"Absolutely worthwhile; I learned so much about myself, the places I was, and the subject matter of the program - however, this was largely due to my own personal drive/choices and the amazing students I was surrounded by rather than program-specific classroom time."

"How to be a more critical reader, how to be a better academic writer, how to budget my limited time with nearly unlimited schoolwork and athletics. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"Learned a ton about English culture, but even more about American culture - I was their only American by the end of the year so I was the authority on all things American. I wasn't born in America so in the states I never considered myself to be that American, but this year I realized just how American I am. I also learned so mu..."

"How to live alone in a foreign country, how to figure out travel plans, how to budget for living expenses. "

"It's better to treat it like you've just moved there than to treat it like a vacation. I believe I got more out of the experience because I tried to create more meaningful relationships with the people. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much about the Czech culture plus the intangibles about going abroad. These are the most valuable part as you learn things about yourself that you had not known before!!!"
Alex P Middlebury College
"I learned so much from the people I met throughout this semester. Every minute was worthwhile. I learned a lot from each of my classes about urban studies, local and global politics, planning trends, etc., but even more so about how the decisions that are made in high-level offices can and do impact the lived experiences of peop..."

A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself, traveling, other cultures, and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. I think the best thing I learned was how to be comfortable by myself"
A student Middlebury College
"Absolutely worthwhile, I would literally do anything to go back...learn a lot about yourself and how to live on your own while also appreciating the beauty of numerous different countries and how people live outside of the United States. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learn't all sort of things. How to move by myself in a different country, I learnt about different cultures, how to do most things by myself, etc. I loved studying abroad for the people I met and for such a fun and beautiful country but I must say that I did not like much the classes at the university. I wish they would have l..."

"I gained the opportunity to see maybe the most beautiful country in the world."
Derek S Middlebury College
"Studying abroad in Copenhagen was amazing. Copenhagen really is the best city--everyone who goes loves it. I would not change a thing. You gain whole new cultural lens. Living in a socialist state gives you a new outlook on the world. It's all invaluable; I loved it."
