Study Abroad with API / Academic Programs International

"The other side of the world is a whole different place than I ever imagined. It was worth it to go out and live life to the fullest while you have the opportunity to do so."
bldonovan7 Thomas College
"I gained not only knowledge of Spanish culture, but knowledge of myself, the opportunity to "soul search", enrichment, great friends, confidence and fluency in the Spanish language. It is impossible to fathom the study abroad experience until one has personally experienced it. It is truly magical."
Whitney S University of Maine at Orono
"My decision to study abroad was more than an opportunity to travel to foreign countries, it was a chance to get to know who I was as an indvidual. I was able to be myself and truly appreciate where I was because not everyone will be able to take part in this expeirence. I would say going to London was one of the best choices I..."
A student Frostburg State University
"A much better understanding of the Spanish language and Argentine culture. Yes! of course"
jasminelaverne Western Washington University
"I learned a lot about myself. I became extremely self-reliant and gained a ton of responsibility. While it's a bit cliche, you really do find yourself while your abroad. I thought I would be homesick and sad at times, but it was quite the opposite- My family had to remind me to stay in touch at times. And FRANCE- visiting France..."
Melissa B University of Hartford
"I learned a lot about myself as an American in relation to the rest of the world and how people view us. I learned a lot about my artwork and how to take it further. I learned what it was like living in a city (I live in a rural town) and it was just a really good experience. It was definitely worthwhile."
Tiffany L University of Hartford

"Discovered London, met new people, learned something in school. Definitely worthwhile."
Jan D Bentley University
"I was immersed into the business sector of London because of the location of LSE and my living location, and was able to observe the day-to-day lives of the people who live and work there. Overall, it was an extraordinary experience for me to attend a law course abroad. On top of my academic and cultural experience, the social e..."
A student Bentley University
"I greatly increased my speaking abilities, learned more about the Spanish culture than I ever thought I would, and learned more about myself than anything else. It was definitely worthwhile, I would go back in a heartbeat."
