"I had an incredible time abroad and learned to fully experience new cultures that are different from my own.

A student Pitzer College
"I improved my Japanese greatly and learned more about Japanese culture than I ever thought I would. I wished I had spent less time in a classroom and more time out exploring and meeting new people. In the future I would like to return to Japan and get that sort of experience."

"I learned how to be an adult and how to take care of myself. I also learned how to blend into a culture and leave my American-ness behind, which is important to realize. You're a visitor in the country, just because it's different doesn't mean you need to hold your ground to such a great extent. "

Christian R Pitzer College
"My experience abroad completely changed my life. I discovered a lot about myself personally and how I relate and fit in with American culture. My issues with cultural awareness were broadened beyond belief, leading me to believe that I have become a more informed, worldly person. "
