"I loved the relationships I made while I was over there. It was truly a beautiful semester in many ways."
Charles S Tufts University
"Although I have traveled a lot before my study abroad experience in Egypt. I have never spent such a long period of time in a country that has such strong objections to many "western" values. Essentially, you must live within a framework of values that may go against everything you believe. And this can be exhausting. And frustr..."
Andrea S Tufts University
"Oh my goodness yes. I definitely gained some more self-awareness that was much needed. No matter what, though, the people that I met were the most important factor in my experience. They were amazing and made everything so much better than it ever could have been without them"
Julie B Tufts University
"I could write a 20 page paper on this, but this survey was already to long. It was just the best experience ever. Highlight of my time at Tufts. I love Tufts, but I love Buenos Aires-CIEE more. "
Andrew M Tufts University
"Yes"
David L Tufts University
"Yes - I feel like I better understand Asian culture and how a poorer population gets by every day. It's easier for me to understand the whole world as a result of living in China."
Michael T Tufts University
"No. Lacking in almost all regards. "
Ian H Tufts University
"YES! Sevilla is one of the most magical places I've ever been to or could imagine. I found it to be incredibly inspirational and evocative simply in the lay-out of its windy streets, the songs wafting on the wind, the clop of horsedrawn carriages... the details are endless, there is so much to Notice. I came away with some incr..."
Jeanine C Tufts University
"Ultimately, it was worthwhile, because it was part of life. I think I learned most about what I'm NOT more than having a match with who I am. I would have definitely thrived more in a different environment and actually left the program for that reason. I know plenty of people who loved it, so this is definitely a personal opinio..."
Jeanine C Tufts University
"It was worthwhile. "
Christine G Tufts University
"This was my first time studying abroad and the first time I had really left my comfort zone for an extended period. I was so glad that I chose to do this program after my Freshman year, as I was able to apply the confidence, intellectual curiosity, and global competence that I gained as a result of this program to my remaining ..."
Michael S Tufts University
"Yes! I had a great time in Chile. I would say that academically it was not as challenging at Tufts but that may have been a good thing for me. It gave me the chance to take a step back and think about other things for once. I had the time to explore other interests, make friends, and reflect on what I want to do. And when I was ..."
Allison L Tufts University
"Egypt is a rough country. "
Christine G Tufts University

Jennifer I Tufts University
"It was worthwhile. I learned a lot about Chilean Politics, the people, and the region. You will learn a lot no matter what you do."
Steven W Tufts University
"Study abroad was an unbelievable opportunity that broadened my horizons to a world beyond the US. I was given the opportunity to see how students behave in a different country and how norms vary across the world. I traveled Europe and learned so much inside and outside of the classroom. "
Brittany R Tufts University
"I definitely think that studying abroad forced me to appreciate the wealth of backgrounds and experiences that different people have. I was once again shown the importance of patience and appreciation and the benefits of being laid-back¡"
Elizabeth P Tufts University
"I appreciate Tufts much more now."
Mary P Tufts University
"Absolutely. My time in China fanned a subtle interest in the nations of the region into a passion for the peoples and cultures of the region. I enthusiastically look forward to returning as soon as my studies allow."
DANIEL Y Tufts University
"It was a once in a lifetime experience. I had an amazing time while gaining much insight about Chinese culture, history and language. It has given me a better knowledge of how to get around China. It has also planted in me a strong interest to return to the country to work for several years. "
Yin L Tufts University
"My Spanish improved, I met new people, I learned a lot from my interactions with Chileans, I had a great internship experience in which I got to witness something I've studied firsthand. For me, it was a very worthwhile experience."
Rebecca C Tufts University
"Yes, it was amazing. I loved traveling, meeting new people, getting off Tufts campus for a semester..."
Rebecca H Tufts University
"Yes. I have to say despite my complaints that my experience abroad was worthwhile. I gained patience and respect for the culture in Egypt and the religion of Islam. I also improved drastically in the target language and have made lifelong friends in the process. "
Michael D Tufts University
"Yes it was worthwhile. I learned that China is not as communist as some people think it is. Some students were very open minded and admitted that the government has made many mistakes and needs to be reformed. "
