Erin C Trinity University
"This experience truly changed my perspective on the world, and therefore my life, as cliche as that sounds. I don't really know how to describe the manner in which it did so, or how I've changed in all the minute ways, because after hearing people talk about it but then experiencing it for myself, I really believe it is somethin..."

Spencer K Texas Tech
"My study abroad experience changed my life in many ways. You can learn so much about yourself when you are placed in a foreign environment, especially as you observe your own reaction to the sudden change. In a situation where you are completely on your own without any familiar faces you are forced to express yourself to others ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I really improved my Spanish and learned a lot about people in general. I feel like I learned a lot about life and culture from my Mama Tica and the other students in my group and even from the professors at the Institute.

Whenever I was feeling particularly an..."
Sydney M Oregon State University
"Absolutely. I was sad it had to end. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I developed my Spanish skills infinitely and made some friends for life, both American and Spanish.

Teresa G Trinity University
"Yes. Living with a family is crucial."
Sarah D The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I loved every bit of it. I met so many new people and had so much fun! Although Spain's culture was annoying at times-just because it's different-I can say that I truly did experience a different culture. One of the best decisions of my life. "
Norma M Rice University
"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. It was the highlight of my life and I wish more people could understand how absolutely amazing it was. I have learned so much and cannot wait to return to Europe to visit, live, or work. I would take any chance I got to return to Europe. In terms of my future plans I'm hopi..."
Brittany S Salem State College
"My experience was totally worth while. I did things there that I would have never done before. For example I went with one other girl traveling around Nicaragua, which could of been very sketchy, but I am proud to say we had no problems.
