Extremely. I loved every minute of it. I was able to grow in ways I didn't think possible, just from this one experience. I can't wait to go back! - Keene State College View Entire Review
Studying Abroad allowed me to understand just how large the world is. I come from a small town in Vermont, so it was great for me to gain insight and knowledge about other cultures around the world. There are so many opportunties I didn't even think about until I studied abroad. I hope to travel over seas again after college and... - Keene State College View Entire Review
I gained so much confidence! I totally stepped out of my shell, and have become a better version of myself. I have confidence that I can figure stuff out on my own trust my judgment. It was such a worthwhile experience, and I can't recommend studying abroad enough! - University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh View Entire Review

I needed this in my life. I was getting bored being in the same place and all of this excitement was perfect. Ireland is an amazing country and looks exactly like all of the pictures you see. The people there will become your family. I talk to all of them everyday and write them loads. I urge anyone who even thinks that studying... - University of Maine - Augusta View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with CISabroad (Center for International Studies): Limerick - Semester in Limerick
I came back a completely different person. I have found out who I really am. I now have friends all over my country, and many others. I need them in my life, and they have helped me become who I am now. When I went to London, I got into a dance company and double majored in Dance and Psychology. These decisions are crucial to m... - University of Maine - Augusta View Entire Review
I was able to travel while in Ireland and each time I learned of the culture. I believe the best thing I gained from studying abroad was the ability to reach beyond my own comfort zone and try new things. I was able to play soccer for the team over here after never playing in my life before. I was also able to meet the most amaz... - Springfield College View Entire Review
