"It was the most amazing and unique experience I've ever had. I know I'll never be able to do anything like it again just because of the place I'm at in my life. It taught me so much about the world but also about myself and what I had left behind at home."
Kathryn D Tulane University
"It was. I gained more of an ability to think and act on my feet, more of an ability to adapt, and the knowledge that you never quite fully understand a situation until you've spent much more than 4 months in it."
Laurel H Tulane University
"Yes it was very worthwhile, and I learned a lot about political structure and the effects that a dictatorship vs. a democracy can have on a country.

"I certainly made the right choice in choosing to study abroad in Buenos Aires and I feel as though I got the most out of what the city had to offer.

"It was totally worthwile, it was a fantastic experience in which I managed to see a lot of Japan's beautiful and famous sites as well as meet a lot of great people. My Japanese improved as well, and I think that it helped prepare me for the JET program, which I plan on doing once I graduate."
