mackenzie b Middlebury College
"My experience was very worthwhile. I noted the downfalls because I believe other students should have an idea of what they're getting themselves into, but none of the pitfalls were a huge problem for me. I enjoyed my classes, loved the country, and made amazing friends. I highly recommend a similar experience to other culturally..."

Alicia W Middlebury College
"I felt that my study abroad experiences was one of the most rewarding aspects of my college life thus far. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, and the ability to live amidst such warm, kind and open people, be a part of a family and forge lifelong relationships, partake in a diverse and evolving culture, take classes with esteemed..."

Wil H Middlebury College
"YES. I'm so much more independent and aware of my emotions/reactions to things. Senegal often challenged my preconceived notions and certainly taught me a lot about Islam. I now feel like Americentric; I know what at least one lifestyle outside the US is and the ways in which its superior and inferior to living in America. "
Emily D Middlebury College
"I always ruled out Graduate School, but after spending 4 months studying at the University of Edinburgh I fully plan on going back to get my Masters there. As much as I missed Middlebury while abroad, my time in Edinburgh was the best time of my life. Academically, I think that Middlebury is much better suited for me as a studen..."

"I loved my study abroad experience, but I wish that my academic performance reflected my experiences."
Emily W Middlebury College
"I continue even now, three months later, to reflect on how Madagascar changed me as a person and how I view my life here in America. I can't say that this program made me understand where I am headed, but it definitely helped to define how I will move forward. I think on an academic level, however, the program could have been be..."

Daniel S Middlebury College
"I'm happy I went, but I'm not sure I would choose this program again. I loved the field experience and hands-on learning that I gained from it, but I had a tough group, that I got pretty sick of by the end of the experience, so I was pretty ready to come home. I think it was a challenge, and it was important to learn to handle w..."
Lindsay B Middlebury College
"YES!!! I gained a lot more confidence in my abilities to do things on my own and to live in a place that is totally foreign to me. I loved the chance to make new friends, explore a new country,and speak a new language. My eyes have been more opened to the wealth of experiences in the world. I am now more interested in a caree..."
Olivia B Middlebury College
"Yes, it was extremely worthwhile and it will stay with me for the rest of my life. I really discovered a lot about myself and about my cultural worldview."
Dana W Middlebury College
"I think I grew a lot as a person because I was alone a lot and had to create my own happiness many times. I definitely learned some about the host country, but I do not think it changed any of my interests/plans/awareness."
