Study Abroad with Brigham Young University (BYU)
"I learned how to solve problems with no "perfect" solution. I'm so excited to apply it to my job. I learned that people can understand basic physics principles without having formal training. I learned that there are challenges in the world that I can provide a solution for."
Larissa C Brigham Young University
"I feel like I gained an amazing preview and overview of the culture of Spain. Living with host families further enhanced this experience because we felt like part of the family and were able to interact with them on a day to day level. It was definitely worthwhile. I would do it again in a heartbeat and would encourage everyone ..."

"I feel like I really came to understand the Spanish culture. I also loved that we saw so much of Spain in so little time. It was worth every penny and every sacrifice. "
A student Brigham Young University
"It's hard to put into words what this experience did for me. I feel like everyone in the program learned very personal life lessons. Being away from your normal surroundings and not only learning, but living with and experiencing new and exciting things with the same group of people allows you to learn things about yourself as y..."

"Through the Vienna Study Abroad, I became acquainted with Central European history and culture. In addition, I got to freshen up my German and polished my philistine side to allow a little appreciation of art. When someone mentions the World Wars, I know much more background concerning the first and understand more about why it ..."

"I learned a ton not only about the language, culture, people of Spain, architecture, history, etc., but also about myself. I discovered, based on the relationships I made with my fellow study abroad students, what kind of man I want to marry.

"I realized that I did not want to do German as a Major/Minor. But rather as a hobby"
A student Brigham Young University
"I learned that I'm capable of more than I thought, and that I shouldn't go into a experience with too high of expectations, because they aren't always met. But it was worthwhile in the end and I know myself better than I have before. "

"It was very worthwhile. I gained a greater appreciation for all of the countries that we visited. "
A student Brigham Young University
"I learned a lot about Shakespeare and theatre in general. I finally learned to like and appreciate Shakespeare's works, and I fell completely in love with theatre. The program was definitely worthwhile. I know I've grown from it, and living in another country has changed some of my views of the world."

"This trip was SO worthwhile. I learned so much about myself, about other people, about other cultures from this trip. I still have a hard time being able to fathom all the amazing places we went. This trip is so unique that it cannot even be compared to any other study abroad. You get a tiny taste for each country and you fa..."

"How difficult it is to work in a foreign language, and how much cultural difference can hinder progress if not properly understood."
Nicole W Brigham Young University
"It was an art and theatre emphasis program, and I feel like I learned a lot about London and it's history through those two outlets. I gained a lot of personal strength, by being by myself in a foreign place. It strengthened me to do things by myself. A study abroad program definitely makes you a more independent person, you bec..."
