"I learned that living in another country and adjusting to the culture is not as difficult as it may seem. It was worthwhile because I feel more comfortable with the idea of permanently residing in Germany or another country."
eric.scala.7 The College of New Jersey
"This has been one of the best experiences of my life! I have been able to grow as a person, meet people from all over the world, and learn more about the German culture. I truly enjoy living in the beautiful city of Heidelberg. I recommend the program to everyone, and I would not hesitate to do it all over again if I had the cha..."
Rocio A The College of New Jersey
"Being in Germany allowed me to learn about a different culture and if I had another opportunity I would come back to Heidelberg, it is a beautiful city"
Adam F The College of New Jersey
"I gained a perspective of the world, how different cultures life, behave, and respond to life's events. In a way, people of all cultures are the same, but in a way each culture is different. Was it worthwhile? YES! ABSOLUTELY! "
Brian K The College of New Jersey
"Words really can't explain all the things I learned from my experience abroad. I can say that it was the most worthwhile experience and probably the best I have ever had in my entire life. 100% worthwhile, if you have the opportunity to study abroad, do it. "

"I gained life experiences in traveling as well as interacting and dealing with various types of people from many different backgrounds.

Nicholas B The College of New Jersey
"While there were some things I was not happy about, looking back I wouldn't change a thing. After all, I wasn't there to have a vacation; I was there to have a life experience. I now think it should be required for all students to study abroad at some point during their college careers, because everyone I know who has gone abroa..."
Brianna G The College of New Jersey
"Yes, though mostly because of a family friend who lives in Paris, and not because of the program itself. "
Rachel R The College of New Jersey
"Of course it was. If I could do it again I totally would. "
Narolyn P The College of New Jersey
"Independence is what I gained from this experience. It hasn't really changed my academic interests or future plans, however, if an opportunity came up where I could work abroad for a few years, I would definitely take advantage of it."
Alejandro R The College of New Jersey
"I learned so much during my time abroad, both academically and personally. I developed a love for traveling, formed incredible friendships, and improved my Spanish. I would encourage everyone to go!"
Samantha C The College of New Jersey
"My program was great for cultural awareness because I got to learn about the Spanish culture by living in Valencia and from my host family. The only reason I would choose a different program is because I did not find the classes challenging. "
Courtney F The College of New Jersey
"Worthwhile is a bit of an understatement here. My study abroad experience exceeded my expectations tenfold and it was by FAR the coolest experience of my life. I wish I could do it all over again! I have so many memorable experiences, and I've made really great friends in Argentina and all over the United States!"
Kathy S The College of New Jersey
"I met a lot of great people and experienced some amazing aspects of Spanish culture. I also improved my language skills. "
Lisa B The College of New Jersey
"It changed my life. I have been back to Europe once since studying abroad and can't wait to go back again. I want to return to Spain because it is a wonderful place, but also experience new cultures abroad. I was someone who was extremely nervous about traveling before studying abroad, and know more comfortable than ever doing ..."
Jaime B The College of New Jersey
"I learned so much about myself and about how I live when I have to be my own support structure. I am more independent now, and I think I have a much better idea of how to think about culture and about what it is to be in a culture and an active citizen of the world. My eyes have really opened up to how much there is to experienc..."
