Spring 2017 Participant
I learned that it's important to put yourself out there and expand outside of your comfort zone. I did some amazing things that I never thought I would do, but I'm so glad that I did. Within reason, I recommend saying yes to the amazing opportunities that come your way.

Spring 2017 Participant
I learned the importance of not creating false or unrealistic expectations. I went into my program/study abroad experience with little expectations of what I felt I was getting myself into and that was perhaps the best thing I did. It made it easier to adapt, find friends, be flexible with different academic experiences, etc. Not getting caught up prior to arriving in a "fairytale" or even a "scary place" made things so much more open-minded and exciting. There were several obstacles that I was naturally faced with, but by not having some sort of preconceived notion of how studying abroad would/should be, I was able to enjoy my experience to the fullest and take things as they came. I never felt disappointed or let down because of this.

It was really interesting to experience school in another country.
