"Totally worth while. My language skills did improve even if I don't feel fluent now, I am able to hold a conversation and I understand spanish speakers much better. Also, so many fun experiences in the city with friends, at home, and travelling elsewhere. "

tyler.minnich.9 The College of William and Mary
"Absolutely worthwhile. New perspective. New culture. Rome is an incredible city and JCU does a good job making sure study abroad students get the most out of the semester. My complaints about Housing are unlikely to happen again, although they definitely made my experience worse."

"It's important to take every opportunity presented to you. Definitely worthwhile."
A student The College of William and Mary
"It was definitely worthwhile. I think I was expecting to find my niche here, and instead what I realized was that it's not the place for me, and it kind of affirmed for me that I do want to go back to the Middle East, where as before I came, I wasn't sure which region I was more drawn to. I think I've learned a lot about the i..."
