Study Abroad with API / Academic Programs International
"I gained proof that I am going into a profession that I will enjoy, and also found a city that I would love to live in as an adult. This study abroad experience has drastically changed my plans as I am now in a relationship with a girl from my host university, and have applied to return there for my post-graduate degree."

"My study abroad experience was very worthwhile. Being in a foreign country with a different language really puts you outside your comfort zone and makes you more independent and confident. "
Zoe H University of Southern Maine
"My experience was definitely worth while. I learned so much and became a better person. I will never forget my time abroad."
Brittany F University of Hartford
"It was more than worthwhile. I improved my Spanish skills drastically, but also learned a lot about another culture from first-hand experience, and in the process, learned a lot about my own culture and stand-points on issues in the world. I grew as a person and was able to create friendships that will last a lifetime. "

Catriona C University of Hartford
"Studying abroad helped me to be a more globally aware, compassionate world citizen. My level of French increased drastically and my understanding of French culture increased as well.

Allie S DePaul University
"Studying in Barcelona was the most rewarding semester of college and one of my best life experiences to date."
Kate T University of New Hampshire
"I gained a better understanding of myself from study abroad. I gained confidence in my language abilities, but more importantly I understood that I could do anything. I didn't need to be pigeon-holed into one group of friends. I discovered I truly love traveling, I love to walk everywhere, and I appreciate a good bread. Study ab..."
Alison B Salisbury University
"My abroad experience completely changed my cultural awareness and really brought me out of my mindsest. "
Kylee R University of Massachusetts Amherst
"I learned that I was more independent that I thought, how to be resourceful, gained courage and confidence in myself, and improved my ability to speak and understand Spanish, my number one goal. I furthermore learned how deep my passion for Spanish truly is and have realized that I want to work abroad or work in the study abroad..."
Eileen G University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"It would be impossible to articulate all the ways studying abroad changed me in just a few words (in fact, I’m probably not even aware of many of the ways I’ve changed!). That being said, I think the broadening of my horizons/perspective shift I experienced is the change I’ve been most conscious of. The mixture of seeing a comp..."
Makena S Bryant University
"This could take me days to answer... If I haven't explained myself already, OF COURSE my experience abroad was worthwhile. "

Kaitlyn N Stonehill College
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile, without a doubt. The experience changed my entire perspective on American culture. Things that I had previously regarded as fixed realities have since been challenged, and I have left with a greater appreciation and critique of American culture. My experience hasn't necessarily changed ..."
Marisa O University of Rhode Island
"I learned a lot about myself and the kind of goals and directions I want to go in life. I am now looking to teach abroad in either international schools or mission-oriented schools. I absolutely love learning new cultures and cannot wait to go for it."
Mary M Grove City College
"It was the best decision of my college career and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I gave it five stars because it was that great, and now I'm actually getting prepared to teach English abroad in the coming months. I loved it and I will be a lifelong traveler. "

Ryan G Pacific University
"My study abroad experience was life changing. I learned so much about the world, about what I wanted to do and most importantly, about myself. I honestly think that studying abroad makes you a better person because you have the opportunity to see, experience, and do so many new things that most people don't have the chance to. I..."
