I had never been abroad and I didnt want to go for a whole semester. 3 weeks was perfect and Chad is awesome. He knows everything about this trip. Olivia - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was the right amount of time, we experienced incredible things and it was very well organized. Our instructor was the best!! A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Totally worthwhile! I learned how Italian culture works and how they do business. Italians live much differently than I do in the United States so it was interesting to see a much different culture. Brandon Tenge - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned so many new things while on this trip. We had a lot of experiences that we could never have at home, like hiking an active volcano and watching it erupt while standing at the top. The time abroad was completely beyond worthwhile. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I felt immersed in the culture daily. There was plenty of free time for us to independently (with small groups) roam the cities or surrounding areas and see what it is like to be there on your own. I learned a lot from the teaching but almost equally from my own experiences chatting with locals and seeing nightlife in the differ... A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was beyond worthwhile. I learned about being more cultured in life, about another language, and about archeology across the Atlantic Ocean. Grace T - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
How different the culture is compared to the US. it was definitely worth while A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I gained so much knowledge about Italy while getting the chance to experience it at the same time. The trip was amazing and all students need to study abroad. Definitely recommend this trip. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned just how interconnected we all are as far as humankind and our environment. I learned to step outside my comfort zone and happily try something new. I learned to be thankful for my upbringing and the opportunities I am access to in the United States. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the history of Italy! I also learned a lot about myself and how I want others think/react towards me. amannda.main - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I gained a new perspective of the world we live in by experiencing life in a new country. It was definitely worthwhile! Lindsey L - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I have gained more friends and am able to be more social in a group setting then before going ton the trip. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Yes, it was very worthwhile. erin.harrity - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot of history and environmental information. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Too much to list Madison - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I have learned so much through studying abroad. You not only learn about another culture and the values, morals, and history they have but you also learn more about your own culture. There are things that you do not recognize or appreciate about the country you live in until you have exposure to another country. You learn to be ...

It was definitely worth while. I had never been abroad before, and being able to be immersed in another culture was amazing. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot about diversity and cultural immersion. Not only did I learn to speak a little Italian, I also gained an understanding of a different lifestyle that the Italians live. Totally worthwhile! A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned not to take things for granted here in America. abbey.johnston.39 - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
That there is more to life than just staying in Iowa/America. I thought it was very worthwhile, I've only been outside Iowa 12 times and never saw the ocean ever. So this was quite the experience to go across the ocean to see it for the first time. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, life, and priorities. It was an eye-opening experience. I feel a definite sense of accomplishment over the feats I achieved on the trip. It also ignited a curiosity in the culture that I will have forever. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
There is so much more than small-town Iowa. The only time I'd been out of the country was for an afternoon picnic in Canada when I was 9. The world has so much history and cultures and experiences to offer that it's a sin to not take advantage of it all! A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
It was totally worthwhile. I gained so much insight on how much cultures have changes through the years. The beauty of all the buildings in Rome took my breath away. Learning all there is to know about those buildings and then seeing them still standing today is amazing. It is a whole other world. Jacque P - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned a lot about many different cultures and how other countries have been developed/how they function now. It was soooooo worth it! Nicole L - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. I learned so much about ancient cultures and even new ones and how they evolved over time. I also learned about the environment and how societies can factor into the destruction of natural resources. Another thing I had the opportunity to do was go on an archeological dig, which summed up all of my knowledge I l... A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
