Madison M Middlebury College
"100%. Studying Abroad has been a huge part of my college experience. I learned how to be a patient traveler! I learned how to make new friends and learn from strangers. I have a much better understanding for how my studies fit in to the context of the world and I would take an opportunity to live in London or travel again."

"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.
