"As I mentioned, it was the best decision I made so far in my life. I gained a lot from this experience. I not only learned so much more about myself and my limits (which applies to every study abroad program), but it is huge factor in shaping my career and academic goals. I met some very amazing people on the program too."
Lisa T Tufts University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I became a French major because of it. It was definitely a highlight of my life."
Jenna S Tufts University
"I learned how to appreciate the little things in life, especially when the environment around you seems very daunting. A study abroad experience in a city like St. Petersburg is so fascinating because you leave the Western World behind. You have the pleasure of being in a European city yet the adventure of a place so drastical..."
Christian D Tufts University
"My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I had an amazing time during my year in Florence, but that was definitely partially due to what I made of it. In the Syracuse program it was easy to become lost in the other 300 American students doing almost exactly what one would find at a university here in the US. It took some work to..."
Eli B Tufts University
"Yes. I made amazing friends. I developed a strong relationship with my host family. I learned to be more independent especially because I couldn't talk to my mom as often."
Ila H Tufts University

Catherine N Tufts University
"Speaking fluent spanish will definitely help in the job search."
Charlie H Tufts University
"It was a great experience"
Sarah C Tufts University
"Yes. As I said, it was a great immersion experience, and I really was living on my own and starting from scratch in many ways (although the program had good resources to fall back on). I got the chance to study things I normally wouldn't in a more culturally relevant context. "
Emily B Tufts University
"Studying abroad completely changed my life. Paris is just beautiful, and you will never get bored there. I am planning to go back for a year after I graduate. You grow a lot as a person from living abroad (basically on your own), and your French will improve enormously."
Linda L Tufts University
"YES! it was amazing and I would love to go back as soon as possible"
Kaitlyn B Tufts University
"Yes, I became much more independent, and it made me want to go travel and immerse myself in a different culture after graduation"
Andy T Tufts University
"I am glad I went abroad. However, it was not as much fun as I thought it would be. I learned a lot, though, about both the world and myself."
David R Tufts University
"My study abroad experience helped me grow as a person and helped me to really excel in Spanish."
shelby s Tufts University
"Living abroad made me realize how much I'd like to repeat the experience. I loved learning a new language and cultural customs. The history and art in Paris had me looking up everywhere I went. "
Nathalie M Tufts University
"Made so many friends and learned so much. I speak German a lot more easily now."
Brianna S Tufts University
"Yes I really want to move back to Paris. "

Scott I Tufts University

Charlotte W Tufts University
"Best year of my life. period."
Rhianna J Tufts University
"My time in China was really eye-opening. I went into the program having very neutral expectations of what China was like, I wasn't sure what the education system would be like or what living with a China host family would be. During my time there, I traveled widely in order to seek out different aspects of China- Xi'An, Tianjin,..."
Sharmaine O Tufts University
"I think that it was definitely a worthwhile experience. There will always be issues when you are abroad but just go with the flow and everything will work out. "
Margaret K Tufts University
"Absolutely! I learned SO much about Asia and the Chinese life style and had a great time!"
Leslie O Tufts University
"This isn't a world in which one country, mindset, or viewpoint dominates. Be able to critically and thoughtfully engage with that which is foreign to you. Sometimes that takes living in a different country or speaking in a different language. "
