Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."One semester seemed just enough time for me. As going home got closer, the more I was anticipating seeing old friends and family. It was worthwhile and helped teach me a lot about myself. Seeing the sights you have only witnessed on a page or computer screen in real life offers fulfillment."
Matthew M SUNY - Binghamton
"Of course it was worthwhile! Even if I had a terrible time, I learned a lot because it is a different culture and it gives you a chance to look at the US from the outside. It is also a great opportunity to travel and it gave me the opportunity to be very independent. And I made the best of friends along the way. "
Courtney H SUNY - Binghamton
"My experience was worthwhile. I have a better understanding of the world and has only encouraged me to see the rest of it. I have made great friends which I still stay in contact with and can never forget the wild times we had. It was awesome."
Dimitrius K SUNY - Binghamton
"Living in Barcelona is an experience I will never forget. I may have had a couple problems in terms of my living situation and the issue of trying to budget my money, but it was all worth it in the end. I made great friends and fell in love with the city. I'd actually consider living in Barcelona in the future."

I learned that India is the center for a lot of emerging business with so much potential. Walking down New Delhi may not seem impressive in comparison to the US, however there is much m..."
Shiu Lun Y SUNY - Binghamton
"All in all, I wanted to go to India. This program let me do that for a reasonable price and I saw the things I wanted to see (the Taj Mahal). BUT the trip could have been a lot less frustrating if we had gotten things done faster. It didn't have to be as long. We definitely could have had time to do one more activity per day and..."

Kavita P SUNY - Binghamton
"I think it's helpful to some extend. I think my language skills defintely improved, however, I don't think the cultural part improve as much as I expected. Especially the home-stay part. The family that I stayed with was not very Japanese but very Americanized which made me kind of disappointed."

"I gained a lot of insight into the culture of this region in the Venezuelan Andes. It was eye-opening, and incredibly different from what I'm used to.

"YES, my experience was worthwhile beyond my wildest dreams.
