I learned how to live on my own in a foreign country and culture, which is an invaluable skill for my future career. In addition, I learned to travel throughout Europe and navigate several different cultural and language barriers. I learned a lot about myself along the way, and it was a great opportunity to try something complet... Griffin U - University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa View Entire Review

I learned how to take risks and truly be adventurous. I threw myself into every situation: hiking, swimming in the Adriatic, trying interesting food, etc. It was so much more than what I ever expected it to be. Alba Q - Vanguard University of Southern California View Entire Review

It was a semester to remember. The traveling I was able to do was amazing, learning new cultures was incredible as well as living in a different culture for four months.

This was an extremely worthwhile experience. I learned a lot about myself through the experience.

I learned that anything is possible with a drive. My life was edified with cultural expansion and understanding, gaining wisdom in challenging situations, letting patience cover me when needed, and recognizing that everyone has a purpose that they are seeking as well.

It's okay to go to a country where you don't speak the language at all- it gives you new opportunities to learn and try to integrate yourself with the local culture and people there. A student - University of Hartford View Entire Review

I really couldn't imagine a better experience abroad. This was my first time traveling outside of the US, and I was able to visit ten European countries over the four months I was there. For the first time, I lived in another culture and was forced to recognize some of my own societal assumptions, biases, and preferences. I abso... Hannah S - Grove City College View Entire Review
I loved studying abroad in Salzburg and I am glad I chose this program becausse everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. The city was beautiful and the people were interesting. It was also a very centrally located city so travelling was easy to accomplish. Nicole J - University of Cincinnati View Entire Review

I loved being able to travel around Europe, and living there was surreal. Amy R - Drake University View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective and appreciation for American culture, which I had previously snubbed, and I matured a lot over the course of the semester. I started the program feeling like an out-of-place teenager, but I left feeling like a responsible adult who can live on her own and be taken seriously in society.
