It was absolutely worthwhile, since being abroad helped me appreciate aspects of life at home that I had been taking for granted. Being able to travel also gave me the confidence to navigate a foreign country by myself. A student - Tufts University View Entire Review
I learned what it was like to live in another country. And that even one as similar to my own as Germany can be stressful to acclamate to. It was definitely worth it. Peter S - Tufts University View Entire Review
Made so many friends and learned so much. I speak German a lot more easily now. Brianna S - Tufts University View Entire Review
I gained confidence, but also humility. I became much more independent and learned to savor alone time. I am more serious about my education and my career plans, and I have language skills that I hope to use in my career as well. It was absolutely worth it, especially since I went for the whole year.

My study abroad experience was great. I didn't realize it as much at the time, but in retrospect, it was amazing. I loved Germany and it is truly a once in a lifetime experience to be able to live in another country. Kathryn C - Tufts University View Entire Review

I met so many people from so many different places that I'd never known anything about before. My German speaking skills increased hugely. I learned a lot about politics in Germany, and it was very interesting to see another way of doing things in government. Being able to drink legally was awesome, and the culture around alc...
