"I met amazing people and was able to learn about and experience parts of the world I had previously only read about. Scotland is beautiful and fascinating and I would certainly do it over again."
Sarah P Tulane University
"COMPLETELY worthwhile. The only negative aspect is how miserable Tulane is... in two ways. Tulane was miserable to work with to send me abroad and miserable to give me credits from after I studied. Besides that - go to Malta!"
Mary C Tulane University
"For a freshman, this was a great chance to go abroad. As a junior, I might not have done it. I learned incredibly about the French atmosphere and culture..."
Abigail P Tulane University
"I gained a lot. I'm a much stronger person than I realized. However, I wish SIT had let us travel during the program."
Maggie M Tulane University
"From my study abroad experience, I took away the experience of independence as well as a greater appreciation for America and my friends and family. I believe my Spanish did improve but not as much as I had hoped it would. Spain is not a country I would like to visit again or live in. My cultural awareness has changed from all t..."

"Yes, definitely worthwhile - good life experience."
Annie P Tulane University
"My study abroad experience was very worthwhile, specially because of everything I learned about french culture and lifestyle as well as because of how much my french improved. I would definitely recommend it, specially the family-stay option for housing. My french would not have improved as much if it hadn't been for that. "
Mariana A Tulane University
"I lived completely independently. I had an apartment with wonderful flatmates, did my own grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning. I could walk anywhere I wanted to go. I could travel the world with my friends - Europe was right at our back door. It was the most freeing experience I have ever had. "
Courtney R Tulane University
"You learn all about the South African politics, people and environment. You view their issues and figure out how to relate them to America and the world. Most importantly, you learn about yourself and what you are capable of. "
Stephanie F Tulane University
"Very worthwhile. "

Amanda T Tulane University
"It was worthwhile. I gained more of an understanding of Greek culture."
Jessica W Tulane University
"Yes but not because of the program itself. The one thing the program really taught be was independence, how to handle myself in a situation without any help from familiar resources. This isn't sarcastic, it's a valuable experience."
Margot S Tulane University
"Yes. Although Switzerland was far too developed and orderly for my taste, I learned a great deal about the study topics, linguistics and subtle differences in culture, met extremely influential contacts, and got a taste of the professional climate I am pursuing."
Miles T Tulane University
"Absolutely. I understand myself and what my limits are so much better. I did things and dealt with things I did not think I was capable of. I learned to express how I felt and what I wanted so much better, and learned a lot about honesty."

Rebecca S Tulane University
"It was in the sense that I got to go to a film school. I WOULD NEVER reccomend CIEE to ANYONE. the program treated us like we were 12 years old and made integrating even worse because they forced us to do all this stuff together. They were super strict about EVERYTHING and made for a stressful abroad experience. The also don't ..."
Elizabeth M Tulane University
"I loved going to Ghana, it was the right choice for me but may not be for everyone. Going to Ghana made me learn to slow down and even though it was crazy and frustrating at times, it taught me more about myself than I ever expected. "
