"It was among the best experiences of my life. If I had to do it again, I would have enrolled via a study abroad provider, like CIEE, since their program administration helps you avoid the hassles I encountered prior to arrival. I also would have lived with my friends if possible. Otherwise, I'd return in a heartbeat."
Jacob P Tufts University
"I loved this experience. It was great to try out a new culture and get a lot more comfortable with another language. The program through Tufts was great because they were really interested in helping us figure everything out without babying us. The resident director is great, as is the Tufts faculty advisor. "
Hailey A Tufts University
"My German improved immensely and at the end I felt like I belonged there. I gained a stronger desire to keep working on my German skills, since I totally fell in love with the culture. I plan on teaching English in a German-speaking country after graduation. "
Erin S Tufts University
"I would do this again in a heartbeat. It was eye-opening to move to such a different culture, and I grew a lot from this experience. All the financial and political turmoil Greece is currently going through gave me a new perspective on my own culture and how the US fits into global politics. "
Erin S Tufts University
"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

Catherine N Tufts University

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

Kaitlyn B Tufts University

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

Brianna S Tufts University
"Yes I really want to move back to Paris. "
