"DEFINITELY. I could not have even imagined how incredible it was going to be. I gained a better understanding of myself and confidence as well. Being able to truly convey yourself in another language is a very empowering thing."
Hillary R Tufts University
"YES!! I can't speak highly enough of my experience and can't recommend it enough. It was so amazing! "
Kim M Tufts University
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained a love of travel, and an appreciation for new experiences, and a new way of looking at learning. No matter what program you decide to do, or where you decide to go, you should definitely study abroad - it is an experience you'll never forget!"
Allison K Tufts University
"Study abroad is a good time to meet new people, explore different, cultures, try new things and to grow personally. I found this last aspect to be the most applicable. I went out on my own a significant amount, and experienced my trip in my own way. Further, managing your own life (food, travel, expenses) without supervision ..."
Jason H Tufts University
"It was awesome. It gave me a worldly perspective, fluency in French, and plenty of travel, skiing, and chocolate enjoyment."
Jennifer W Tufts University
"Yes, I just wish I had gone to a different part of Germany. I improved my German language skills and I got to travel to many other places I wanted to go to."
Robert W Tufts University
"I loved it, and I definitely want to go back. "
Emily M Tufts University
"Very worthwhile. I got to perfect my Spanish (which I have, unfortunately, since lost). I traveled all around Western Europe and got to live in a foreign country. Incredible experience. "
Amir M Tufts University
"Worthwhile. I gained french, but could have been a little more rigorous. The professors were really good, as they are actually professors at science-po and the Sorbonne, but they had to "dumb" down their course material a lot to cater to the students. Many NYU students came in with a "do as little as possible" attitude which ki..."
Leroy L Tufts University
"It was totally worthwhile. "
Hilary W Tufts University
"Yes, I enjoyed every aspect of the experience-- from the academics to the culture to the travel. I would highly reccomend UCT to anyone looking for a great experience all around."
Bronson K Tufts University
"It was definitely worthwhile, I gained a better knowledge of french culture, french people and everything associated with a typical study abroad experience. It's just that Paris was probably not my favorite city."
Azim P Tufts University
"SO WORTH IT. I gained independence, better understanding of the world, better understanding of myself. DO IT!"
Elisabeth R Tufts University
"Absolutely. I learned a lot and gained an amazing appreciation for another place by delving into French culture. My classes were great and the Community Health class in particular formed a foundation for the rest of my academic career. Finally, 3 of my best friends today are Talloires friends...we would NOT have met otherwise."
Jen B Tufts University
"Studying abroad in Paris was an amazing experience. It's great to get out of America for a while. France has some amazing food. Don't go there if you don't like ham or cheese."
Sam B Tufts University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned so much about Russia, made some wonderful friends, and even want to go back! It really lends some perspective to your university studies, which can be a bit of a bubble. "
Megan C Tufts University
"It was great. I just wish I'd decided to go abroad with more friends from Tufts."
Harmony T Tufts University
"I'm definitely glad I studied at UNSW, and I really couldn't see myself studying elsewhere. I gained a few foreign friends who I am still in touch with 3+ years later. I gained some amazing memories from an incredible continent/country, and I also took full advantage of the free time I had to travel (I traveled to Byron Bay, M..."
Elad C Tufts University
"I gained a lot of clarity about myself as a person, and improved greatly on my Spanish. I made a lot of great Tufts friends, and traveled all over Europe (and even a little bit of Africa!). "
Loretta A Tufts University
"Very worthwhile. Made great scottish and American friends and gained new perspective on the UK as well as a perspective on America. Edinburgh is a BEAUTIFUL and wonderful city with great museums, shopping, culture... absolutely adorable and great for students"
Cameron A Tufts University
"it was a great experience"
Samantha M Tufts University
"YES! Loved it!"
Sara E Tufts University
"This was absolutely a worthwhile experience- there were a few hang-ups I had with the academic process not being challenging, but Edinburgh's spirit and charm more than made up for it. I gained an appreciation for the beauty of the scottish countryside and history,and I also gained the ability to be independent in a country whe..."
Mary G Tufts University
"YES."
