"My time abroad was incredibly worthwhile. I gained and learned so much from my experience in Chile, I could probably talk about it for hours. A few key points are: First of all I gained a large network of "family" and friends that I know I'll keep in contact with. I was able to improve my Spanish greatly, at the end of my last..."

Amanda Bozorgi Middlebury College
"It was so worthwhile. I became a much better writer, editor, and scholar with all of the one-on-one attention of the tutorial system and peer editing, and the independent-learning way of Oxford.

A student Middlebury College
"My writing, editing, and research skills improved immensely. I can now skim through several books, identify important arguments and thoughts, and compose a 7-8 page paper in one week. I made new friends, played frisbee, talked to people with different views than my own, and made connections for life. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be independent and so far it's been really helpful. "
A student Middlebury College

Isabel sessions Middlebury College
