I gained worldly insight on a variety of issues. Also, I now understand how different cultures operate, yet have maintained the same academic and career goals. Brent M - Providence College View Entire Review
I have become FAR more independent as well as responsible. I now know that I could take on so many challenges in life, by myself, because I just lived in a foreign country, with a language I didn't know and was able to do it for four months...and made it a memory that is engraved in my mind.

Absolutely. My study abroad experience was much more culturally enriching than I ever thought it could be. I was nervous and skeptical before I left the United States, but I am so happy that I chose to step out of my comfort zone and go to Barcelona. Jennifer S - Providence College View Entire Review
I definitely became much more independent having to navigate a city by myself. I had never been outside the country before so this was a great experience overall. I definitely want to travel more in Europe now and eventually go back to Barcelona. Kathryn S - Providence College View Entire Review

I became more independent and confident as a person and learned more about myself in 4 months than I ever have previously. Ericka K - Providence College View Entire Review

I realized how many opportunities American brands have to take their companies international. Jennifer R - Providence College View Entire Review

This experience really helped me to m... Gabrielle A - Providence College View Entire Review
