I learned a lot about technology and how different it is in other societies! They have solar trees in London to help charge cell phones in public, public gardens, and recycling in restaurants! How cool! Kelsey Kaasa - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I gained the ability to accept different cultures, and understand that not everyone needs to conform to a certain culture. It was definitely worthwhile! Lisa Burnell - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I experienced a different way of life and interacted with people who had a different background than me. I learned more independence and felt my worldview expand. I got to see an amazing part of the world and learn about country's whose history is older than my own. It was one of the best things I could h...

I learned that not everyone lives the way I do. Americans live a very complicated life, and people in other countries are very simple. I need to live a simpler life and things do not have to be so complicated. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

A lot about sustainability Shelby bowersox - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I felt that I gained confidence in myself because I learned to maneuver the cities and transportation systems quickly and successfully. I was very independent on the trip and it made it much more enjoyable. I can't put how much I loved my experience into words. I felt I learned a lot about myself and my ability.

It was very worthwhile. I learned many things about the different cultures, like their food and how their language and terms are different from ours. I learned different etiquette and how different their daily lives are from mine. Lastly, I was able to see how they use sustainability in their every day lives and environment.

Being abroad taught me get out of my comfort zone and experience the culture of another country. Talking to the locals was one of the best part of the trips. They enjoy talking to Americans and are willing to explain things that we wouldn't have known by reading a textbook. In Ireland one of the locals told us that we didn't ...

I got to see a lot of great sites and learn the history behind them. Very beneficial!! A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned and was able to experience the culture in England and the culture in Ireland. What was especially great about Ireland was that I was able to see the culture in a place such as the Aran Islands in comparison to a culture in Dublin. I learned about the environmental efforts that England and Ireland put forth. I learne... A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
