Study Abroad with Boston University
"Gosh I learned so much about myself, my country, and how Australia and the USA fit into the global community. I can't believe I ever questioned whether or not to study in Australia. I have also studied in Europe (traveling to 9 countries there) and my Australian experience outdid them all hands down."
Rachel S Fordham University
"I learned how much more of an effort it takes to learn a language than the lackadaisical approach that I had taken in the past. It was a worthwhile experience, especially the internship."
A student Brandeis University
"This experience was very worthwhile as I was exposed to a city that I had only read about quite a few times in my international relations courses and in my extra curricular activities. it was therefore good to experience the international Geneva that I had always read about."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained great work experience and knowledge about England and London specifically. I learned how to get along in a foreign country. "
A student Brandeis University
"I am much more open to other cultures and much more independent. "
A student Fordham University

A student Fordham University
"My time abroad was worth while. I gained a new understanding of different cultures. I also gained an appreciation for my own home and country. "
A student Fordham University
"I learned how to live on my own from thousands of miles away from home. I learned how to budget my money. I learned how to associate with the people of Australia. I gained experience with my internship in the post-production field. Everything was absolutely worthwhile. "

A student Brandeis University
"Living abroad taught me how narrow my scope of the world was before I came to Sydney, and I loved all the experiences I had and the people I met. The lifestyle and environment is completely different, and I hope I can go back again one day!"
Aanchal C Boston University
"I really enjoyed the experience - we must have been to every museum in London and we also managed to get to other places in England and to France and Italy The most valuable thing I got from my program was probably the internship experience at a law firm, which is hard for undergrad students to get in the US. "
Katy B Trinity University
