"I met some amazing friends there, but the program was so disappointing that I can't say it was worthwhile. I am so sad that it turned out this way."
Emelia D Tufts University
"Going abroad was the best experience of my life. I cannot wait to get on another plane and go see another country. Going abroad taught me to relax, enjoy my life, and pursue my dreams."
Jared K Tufts University
"I would love to go back to Sweden; I'm looking at graduate programs in Scandinavia now. It was really great to get a perspective on a country that is almost as prosperous as the United States (right now it may actually be more prosperous), and yet so incredibly different."

Fritzi P Tufts University
"Yes, I am certainly more aware of French and world cultural issues and differences now and I also feel that I have gained a lot of confidence from the experience, not to mention friends who I experienced an amazing semester with. I hope to go back to Paris, if not to live there for more time, than certainly as a visitor!"
Tarryn W Tufts University
"It was the most formative academic experience for me in terms of defining my future/career goals and plans. I know I want to keep travel and Spanish speaking skills as part of my future plans, and I value cultural and people skills much more strongly for any potential career than I did before studying abroad. I am hoping to re..."
Alana S Tufts University
"Yes. It was great to be in a somewhat westernized city that is still very Chinese so that I could gain a better understanding of the world's newest superpower. Also just a fantastic city in general. I'd love to return there to work."
Carter R Tufts University
"Yes, I learned a lot about managing my time and money."
William H Tufts University
"I think I became more independent and learned how to travel on my own. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, one that I would never trade. "
Danielle P Tufts University
"While I was left disappointed with the academic aspects of the program, I definitely owe a lot of my experiences, friendships, and memories to the efforts of the program, the faculty, and the staff. I was there during a special time and no doubt had a once in a life time opportunity. I just hope that the program can revamp its e..."

Weiyi Z Tufts University
"Only in conversations afterwards did I realize how much I really knew about European politics after my time in Freiburg and Europe."
Seth R Tufts University
"My study abroad experience definitely helped me gain more social skills. The way I used to approach making friends and hanging out did not work in Japan, so I had to adapt. It was a difficult challenge, but the friends I did make, and the experiences I had with them, made it a wonderful experience. I am happy to have improved my..."
Tiffany C Tufts University
"It was definitely worth it. One of the best things is that I became a much better writer at Oxford. Also, I was able to tour a large portion of Europe during breaks and have now seen some of the most famous sites in the world. The whole experience definitely broadened my perspective and also allowed me to make comparisons with t..."

"There is so much to learn about 1 country!! "
Dena H Tufts University
"I am more independent and confident in myself. I can live on my own in a big city, fly on airplanes by myself, take public transportation, and navigate it all in a foreign language. I definitely gained an international perspective. America bores me- I need to see more places and do more things!"
Andrea S Tufts University
"I loved the program. I'm considering going back for a year after graduation. "
Nina S Tufts University
"I think for me, my study abroad experience showed me what it is like to simply LIVE in another country, another culture, another language, another way of life. For me, it was extremely rewarding, exhilarating, sometimes frustrating, day-to-day and extremely new experience. I think I learned to accept that people aren't going to ..."
Emily G Tufts University
"Yes definitely! Studying abroad is an amazing experience no matter where you go but Edinburgh is definitely unique. I learned a lot about Scotland and the UK from classes, travel and the people. I definitely want to travel more in the future."
Lisa Z Tufts University
"I gained confidence, but also humility. I became much more independent and learned to savor alone time. I am more serious about my education and my career plans, and I have language skills that I hope to use in my career as well. It was absolutely worth it, especially since I went for the whole year. "
Marian S Tufts University
"This program solidified my academic interests, gave me a new perspective on environmentalism, fueled my love of the outdoors, and helped me to create lasting friendships. Talloires is a magical place and this is an incredibly well-run program. This program is one of the most memorable parts of my Tufts experience, and was an imp..."
