"This experience was very worthwhile, but I'm also grateful for the opportunity to move on to Catania. I learned how to conduct myself respectfully in a city.

A student Sarah Lawrence College

Also gained some interests that I had never experienced before (I'm obsessed with linguistics now), and honed in on a lot of things that I had been d..."
Ben L Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned many lessons, many from experiences that are thus hard to put into words. I learned about South African history, politics, human rights, identity formation, and other topics, as well as about human connection. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I've had. "

"I got to take a lot of great classes, learn from a different perspective, be part of the London comedy scene and actually integrate myself into the city. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned a lot about how I identify as an American. It was a great exercise in social learning-- within the group of american students and with Italians.

A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I gained an appreciation for my life at SLC in New York after seeing how awful it could have been. I do not feel that the program was worthwhile for me."
Rebecca A Sarah Lawrence College
"No matter what program you choose, India will reach into you and leave its mark. My experience taught me so much about Indian culture, history, and society, as well as the qualities of empathy and open-mindedness. My travels were integral to my understanding of India as my own personal heritage and as a major global presence. "
Priya C Sarah Lawrence College
"yes"
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned an infinite amount of new things while abroad, many things that I probably don't even notice on a day-to-day basis. I learned to be patient with myself and others and I finally got a chance to understand being a REAL outsider. I also gained a lot of self-confidence in standing up to people, as regular confrontation is ..."
