A student University of Connecticut
"When I studied abroad it was the first time I felt like an adult. I loved the independence of having to figure everything out myself. I went completely alone, not knowing anyone from home who was going. I completely went outside my comfort zone and had to make a new group of friends, adjust to a completely new type of semester s..."
Nora M University of Connecticut
"Definitely learned a lot, learned more about what I like and want, and grew from being in an independent program/ dealing with crazy situations. The month long break was an awesome time for travel but that combined with the pound in the UK was expensive! Would probably go somewhere else if I could choose again but loved the camp..."
A student University of Connecticut
"Worthwhile? The word seems small in comparison. I believe the person that I am now is a direct result of my time abroad. It is that experience that drew the line in the sand between the old irresponsible, scared me to the woman who is now ready to take on the world (literally). If you are reading this then please understand that..."

A student University of Connecticut
"It was so worthwhile. I gained friends, a larger understanding of the world and a different country. I learned to live a different life and learned how to navigate on my own so far from home.

A student University of Connecticut

"It wasn't worth the money. I did enjoy the grammar classes which advanced my language skills. But overall I expected more. "
A student University of Connecticut
"Gained a lot of knowledge about neuroscience. It was 1000000% worthwhile."
Alexandra I University of Connecticut
"I made a ton of new friends in neuroscience, which was valuable to me because my university has a pretty small program. I also got very self-sufficient and was able to travel under many different conditions. I became less self-conscious about my Spanish skills as we went on, which helped me to learn more. I also gained a lot ..."
A student University of Connecticut
"I was able to understand how to live in a big city, how to make my own decisions. "
