"The best part was meeting all kinds of different people and getting to interact with all types of cultures. Meeting so many people and traveling while in Europe was the best.

Jennifer 2 University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"It's hard to take it all in at this point, and see how it will affect my future. But as a cultural anthropology and french major, I LOVED getting to live what I have been studying - people and their languages. I got to live that: eat their food, drink their wine, run around their neighborhood with my host dad, see my host brot..."

"ABSOLUTELY"
Jessica P University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"This experience was worth every penny, it put me out of my comfort zone and made me actually think about things and look at another culture and way of life that was foreign to me.

lindsay l University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I learned so much about myself as a person and how I react to other people who are not anything like me (Americans and foreigners alike). I learned how to deal with difficult situations on my own where I'm outside my comfort zone (being shy sp..."

"a"
Laura P University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"Overall, I definitely did learn a lot culturally & academically from this experience. It's a much smaller world than I realized, and the impact that American society has on other countries was definitely an eye opener for me (they really want to "be" us--from our clothing brands, to our fast food.) I also got a really good loo..."
Sarah S University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
