Love of travel and new prespective on global issues - Spring Hill College View Entire Review
I learned how to be creative with the type of meals that I cooked, I spent time venturing out and learned more about the people and the city of Florence. I had the chance to try amazing Italian dishes which has changed my perspective on the importance of eating healthy and well. - Santa Reparata International School of Art View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. The new perspectives that I gained have challenged the way I view the world and I believe I am still changing from the experience as I have more time to reflect on what it has meant to me. - Saint Louis University View Entire Review
I gained a deeper knowledge for different parts of the world and various cultures. This was very worthwhile. - Spring Hill College View Entire Review
New friends, a global perspective, and several unforgettable experiences. Most definitely worthwhile. - University of San Francisco View Entire Review

I learned about the Italian culture, met so many people, and created so many amazing memories. I loved traveling and exploring my host city. - Vermont State University View Entire Review
More about the Italian culture, the language and the art of patience! - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review

I gained the reality to survive. To be aware of my strength and weakness . To have knowledge of that I have a purpose in life and take full advantage of it and let nothing or no one be a distraction. - Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned that the world is diverse, but it also is not terrible to adjust to a different place. I have gained confidence in myself about Italian that I didn't have before the program. I also gained confidence in myself in the role that I can do something myself outside of the United States, it just... - University of Connecticut View Entire Review
I learned to be more independent, responsible, and confident. I am not afraid to be adventurous now. I met the most kindest and beautiful people and saw, heard, tasted, and smelled the most beautiful things! It was a very cathartic experience that gave me time to explore my interests and to relax! - The College of New Jersey View Entire Review
Abroad was incredible and definitely worth while. My thing that I am going to try and bring back most with me is the simplistic lifestyle I lived in Europe. Before I always kept myself way to busy and never got to just take a minute and relax and that is something that I learned while in Italy. - Saint Louis University View Entire Review
I learned to enjoy every moment as it comes and to not stress about the not-so-great moments because there's nothing I can change about them. - Spring Hill College View Entire Review
