"My semester at CYA has provided me with such amazing opportunities and friendships that I will hold onto forever. Not only have I developed a newfound appreciation for Greece and Greek culture, but I have learned so much about my strengths as an individual as I navigated my way through new experiences. Not only did I grow as a p..."

"I learned a lot about French culture that outsiders don't realize. They're actually very friendly and loving if you show them respect and care. It was certainly worthwhile."
Dilara S Tufts University
"I am so, so glad that I chose to go abroad with CYA. I got the academics that I needed while still having the time and support to explore Greece both with the program and on my own time. The apartments are in a great location -- you can walk to the Parthenon! -- and you get opportunities to meet your Greek neighbors, too. The fa..."

"My experience abroad taught me so much about myself. Being removed from my fellow peers at my home university to get to know new friends in an entirely different linguistic and cultural context forced me to reflect on what makes me who I am - when all my familiar environments are taken away, what is left? This was invaluable. I ..."
Grant Gebetsberger Tufts University
"This program allowed me to pursue my academic interests (environmentalism, conservation, biology), improve my Spanish skills, learn about a new culture, and make friends with like-minded people. I had many experiences that I never would have been able to have as a tourist or visitor in the country. I felt very well supported by ..."
Ellie C Tufts University
"I grew as a person. I explored the world. And I was able to become better prepared for college"
Francisco Tufts University
"I learned a lot about how different other countries could be, as I hadn't traveled much before this. I also learned a lot of major-related skills that will help me in the future when looking for another internship or a full-time job."
A student Tufts University

IBG Tufts University

A student Tufts University

Erin Viola Tufts University

Nicholas McQuillan Tufts University
"Gained chinese language skills and a much deeper understanding of Chinese culture/ history. Wish i had more time to see the country as it was my first time in China "
A student Tufts University
"This experience was immersive linguistically and culturally and forced me to reconsider my own national identity and culture. "
A student Tufts University
"I found that in addition to my French developing, I learned what it's like to live in the middle of a city and navigate it, how to cope with cultural differences—including with the people I live with—and, above all, how to deal with having a lot of free time and alone time. I think it was very worthwhile, and I exit a more matur..."
A student Tufts University
"I reflected on what I'm studying in school and where I want to take my studies, which lead me to realize what I want to pursue in the future. Apart from academic insights, I learned a lot about myself and another culture. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"It was completely worthwhile and I would do it again in a second. I had an amazing experience and became much more independent. The city is beautiful and I was able to learn about Scotland and take a great computer science course."
A student Tufts University
"yes of course. it was an amazing experience. "
A student Tufts University
"Before this program, I had never thought about visiting Austria, I didn’t speak German, and had no idea what to expect. Once I arrived, I was shocked by how much I loved the culture, people, food, and atmosphere. You can spend hours uninterrupted in a coffee shop, or stroll through the stunning streets of the first district. The..."
Grace Konstantin Tufts University
"I gained invaluable life experiences that were definitely worthwhile."
A student Tufts University
"I learned a lot during my study abroad and I'm sure it's going to affect my future career/future life for a long time. "
A student Tufts University
"I built a life for myself in a different country, culture, and language, which was empowering. I learned so much about Brazil's people and their perspective on life, which has made me reflect on my own values and priorities. This cultural exchange was invaluable for me."
Olivia Schultes Tufts University
"I learned how to be independent during my time abroad. I've always been super close with my family, and was terrified to leave for such a long time, but I had the time of my life in Europe and learned how to be on my own. I wouldn't give my experience back for the world. "
A student Tufts University
"Learning about history of how Japan was formed, making soba noodles from scratch, trying out pottery and calligraphy, walking through the Atomic Bomb museum in Hiroshima, eating fresh oysters and other delicacies of each visited city, befriending friends from Australia, Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia...I can't even count those en..."
Kristie Le Tufts University
"I experienced living in another country, I learned more about myself, challenged myself, traveled extensively, and made amazing friends and memories "
Steph Tufts University
"I had never really traveled before, so I really learned how to be independent and to be on my own. At first, I was incredibly homesick and the adjustment was very tough, but after a month or so, I never wanted to leave! It was absolutely incredible. I learned so much about myself and have a very different perspective on foreign ..."
