I learned a lot about living in India and about local cultures and foods. I was able to travel a lot and made great friends I still keep in touch with - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Hajmola
I learned a lot about myself. I discovered new hobbies and interests. I made some really good friends who I still keep in touch with. I learned a lot more than I ever did from my euro-centric high school curriculum. With that said, I did a lot of self-learning. I pushed myself to take on academic hobbies. The freedom gave me lib... - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Incredibly worthwhile! I learned a lot about how to respect other cultures even when they don't immediately make sense because the more time you spend in that culture the more it starts to make sense. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile - I think I gained a greater grasp of what it's like to live fully independently in a city (not something I necessarily would've thought I'd ever do). - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was quite worthwhile. I learned that it takes a life time to learn a new culture, as much as you wish you could just learn everything in one go, so much is left hidden. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Efficient Chaos
I learned to let go of things, not take myself too seriously, and live my life on a day-by-day basis. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I think my biggest gain is to have learned how to live with/interact with locals in Delhi as individuals rather than view them through stereotypes. I learned to understand the ambitions and struggles of the Indian people. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Middlebury Schools Abroad: Middlebury in Delhi
Academically, I learned a lot about Bengali history, thinkers, philosophers and resistance movements in my history course. I also gained a new understanding of India's current right-wing political climate and the BJP by talking to my classmates, traveling to certain areas, and witnessing protests and political demonstrations. I ... - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I enjoyed the freedom and flexibility that this program allowed in terms of independent travel + free time throughout the week. Taking classes alongside Indian students while living with Americans provided balance between cultural exposure + comfort. Though there were moments of frustration or isolation, I am overall very glad t... - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I had a great time while in India. I learned a lot about being independent in a big city and in a school where students are encouraged to take initiative. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Flexibility and adaptation. Insight into a new culture and inspirational travels. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, I grew academically, made new connections, and was exposed to a whole new culture different to any I had ever experienced. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
India is one of the most spectacular countries on Earth and it is absolutely worth studying abroad there! - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to ride a metro, how to find calm in a large crowd of people, how to speak and write hindi, how to build a community from scratch, how to make dal. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Could Be Better
I learned to be independent in a whole knew way. I was able to learn about the importance of self care. I also learned how to accept differences and try knew things. Academically, I don't think I grew too much. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes. I learned a lot about how I handle stress, loneliness, and discomfort. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
During the program, I had the chance to travel to lots of different places in India, which allows me to witness the diversity that is presented in this country. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I do believe the experience was worthwhile. Not to sound cliche, but I did gain a new global perspective. I learned a lot about the world, America, myself and realized how little of it I had seen or understood. My time in India was challenging and I'm stronger for it. - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I gained amazing perspectives on culture, history, community, and privilege that I will hold on to forever. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Chin Up!
i learned a lot about privilege and poverty because perspective is shoved in your face whether you like it or not. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a new outlook on life and a new perspective on the world. It was very eyeopening to study abroad in a developing country and see first hand the economic development the country is undergoing. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
