Study Abroad with API / Academic Programs International
"I've found myself in a number of ways. I've seen tons of new cities, countries, things. New experiences. I went from being an able reader, writer, and understander of Spanish to being a good SPEAKER and conversationalist."
Sam B Western Washington University
"It's difficult to put into words what I learned from my experience abroad, but I basically learned about myself - my ambitions, my strengths, my weaknesses. I learned to have patience, to be curious, and to always be willing to try new things. It was by far the best 4 months of my life, and I couldn't be more thankful for having..."
A student Bryant University
"I gained so many friends all over Europe that I plan to visit later. I became fluent in Spanish and I became much less ethnocentric while appreciating the pros and cons of both nations. Spain provided so many experiences that I'll never forget. "

"I learned what it really means to be independent. For the first time, I was actually on my own. I wasn't a train ride away from home anymore. I had to learn to manage my money and time and become more of a risk-taker. If I could go back to Rome I would do it in a heartbeat. Being abroad away from everyone, really lets you settle..."

"That you need to leave your bubble and put yourself in an uncomfortable experience in order for it to be beneficial.

Having a memory like riding a moped across the Bridge of Angels is priceless & just c..."
