Past Review Best Experience Ever. Everyone Should Do It Before They Graduate! University of California EAP (UCEAP): Paris - Language & Culture Programs, UC Center Paris

"It is not only helpful, but life-changing as well. It is so worth the money, even though it seems expensive at first. You'll pay it off, and who knows, maybe one day you'll come back again and relive those study abroad days!"

Past Review I Don't Want To Go Back Home! University of California EAP (UCEAP): Rome - UC Center Rome

"I learned so much about different traditions and customs. I met really great people that will make me miss Italy. Living in such a rich historical country allows you learn something new everyday. On every corner there is a historical site you'll never be done exploring. Definitely worth it!"

Past Review Amazingly Difficult And Wonderful University of California EAP (UCEAP): Rome - UC Center Rome

"There are many thing i learned while abroad, i found a piece of myself in the experience, overall it was worthwhile but if i had to do it again i would definitely chose a different program. I did not like my program but loved the country, which is the only reason i rated it a 7, if not i would of rated it a lot less. "

Past Review Challening, Educational, Rewarding, Made Me A Better Scientist University of California EAP (UCEAP): Monteverde - Tropical Biology & Conservation, Monteverde Institute

"Yes, I learned a lot about ecology/conservation from enthusiastic instructors and how relevant it was to the tropics. Also learned the tradeoffs involved with living in remote but beautiful areas. The tradeoff of comfort was definitely worth it to experience parts of Costa Rica uninhabited by humans."

Past Review Costa Rican Adventure University of California EAP (UCEAP): Monteverde - Tropical Biology & Conservation, Monteverde Institute

"I said no, only because I want to see and visit other places. But I am determined to one day return to Costa Rica and see more of the country that I did not get a chance to visit. I gained some wonderful research experience, but this program has also made me realize that I don't want to be an academic for the rest of my life. "

Past Review Eatting Lyonnais Food And Walking University of California EAP (UCEAP): Lyon - Language & Culture Programs, University of Lyon

"I dont want to be cliche, but i guess i have too. It did change my cultural awareness. How i struggled to have people understand me in french. I never really had that to this extreme before. Going four months in a country where majority of people dont understand you, can be hard but also extremely rewarding. "

"My experience abroad has definitely made me aware of how foreign countries perceive Americans.
