Study Abroad with Boston University
"I gained knowledge about Spanish culture, daily life and met wonderful people working at my internship. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I just was able to learn about other cultures--their values, beliefs, and ideals. I also worked at a hospital while I was in London, so I was able to compare the similarities and differences between the health care systems. It was truly a "learn by experience." "
Nick C Providence College
"I learned how connected the world really is if you learn to break down cultural barriers. It was so worthwhile!"
A student Providence College
"I learned of many different types of customs and cultures while living in London. It was amazing living in such a cultural hub where you could walk down the street and hear 3 different languages."
A student Providence College
"I wouldn't choose it again, but I also wouldn't trade it for anything. The city was the perfect size -- not touristy, but not too small. I learned and experienced a lot, and it was definitely worth it."
A student Villanova University
"Learned what it meant to actually be "independent!" 1000% worthwhile!"
A student Providence College
"This program helped me to narrow down my career path and it allowed me to fully immerse myself in British culture. I had an absolute blast and I don't regret one second of my time abroad. I wish I could do it all over again! "

"Overall my experience was worthwhile. I was exposed to a number of different cultures, and was also forced to be much more independent as an individual. "
A student Providence College
"This program is the cream of the crop as far as study abroad programs go! I made so many American friends and had such a great time traveling all around not just Dublin but all of Ireland as well. The internship phase is awesome because it gets you into the Dublin city life and culture each day! I would highly recommend this pro..."

"Absolutely worthwhile! I learned so much about myself and it made me realize that this world is beautiful and there is more to life than college. "
A student Providence College
"I grew as a person and student, I learned so much more than could ever be taught in a classroom. Studying abroad forces you to challenge yourself in ways you didn't know were possible. It's a transformational experience, you come back a different person."

"Definitely worthwhile!"
Hannah G Providence College
"I gained insight into life in a foreign country. Not only did I learn about the city I lived in but I learned about all the countries I traveled to. I also learned a lot about myself and how I want to live my life out of school. The experience was absolutely worthwhile and I would go back in a heartbeat! "
A student Providence College
"I learned a lot more about how to be independent and I learned to be flexible and enjoy my new environment rather than stressing about the changes it brought into my life."
A student Providence College
"I learned so much about London/ the UK in terms of culture, politics etc. I loved having the opportunity to live independently in a new city, navigate the tube and explore the various neighborhoods, market places museums and historical sites.

A student Fordham University
"I learned that I do not want to work in the public health sector, but instead want to focus more on neuroscience. While in hindsight I would not have gone on this program because I would've liked to focus more on neuroscience research, this experience allowed me to learn more about myself and my future career path."
A student Brandeis University
