"I had a great study abroad experience but my program was very poor."
Liz F University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Too much to write! One thing was confidence- I thought I was pretty confident and self sufficient before but this is such a different situation where you are isolated from your family/friends. ABSOLUTELY worthwhile! I wish I could have stayed a whole year instead of just a semester."
Jenna M University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse

"India is beautiful place. It is a challenging place. It is a diverse place. India is a place that asks you to step outside of yourself and what you know and view the world through new eyes. In order to gain the most out of this trip, I had to let India open me up. You have to be willing to let India change you in order to see e..."
Noelle G University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I gained a lot of personal things such as confidence and independence and a sense of diversity. It's hard to explain how my mind works differently than it did before, but it does and there are a lot of internal changes that made coming home a bit of a culture shock. "

"I can't even completely put into words what I gained. The people I met and the experiences I had were beyond amazing.
