Study Abroad with CISabroad / Center for International Studies
"It was one of the best things I have every done. Would do it again!"
Kelly J Texas State University-San Marcos
"The most rewarding portions of the internship were learning how the mental health system works in Spain, about the economic impact of the crisis on the types of services afforded to immigrant populations in Barcelona, and learning about the higher education system for nurses, psychologists, and psychiatrists in Spain."
David T University of Louisville
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile, and I grew so much as a person. Academically, I would not say it was worthwhile, as the majority of my classes will not transfer. I would definitely do it again in a second, and I plan to go back to London after I graduate this May!"
Statia G Virginia Commonwealth University
"I would go again and recommend this program to anyone. My biggest issue was I was sick while I was there and getting health care was not the easiest. I think if I was to do this again I would check a little more into the health care - I did check and was told there was a doctor on site but wasn't told that he/she was hardly eve..."
Dana H Bond University
"It is very hard to explain to people how incredible my experience was. You really just have to experience it. The best thing is to go with a completely open mind and integrate into their culture and stay open to new experiences. Because of my time there, I am going to try to do my graduate work back in England."
Karrie W Colby-Sawyer College
"My experience abroad made me realize that I would enjoy grad school overseas, whereas before this trip I was scared by the very idea of such a thing. I learned more about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between British and American conversation/transportation/cuisine/hotel accommodations/accents/street markets/etc. ..."
Kate S Indiana University - Bloomington
"It helped me gain independence and learn from life experiences"
Zoë D College of Marin
"Studying in the United Kingdom opened a whole new world for me. I have gained a love of traveling and adventure and I want to continue in the future. I wish more planning had been done by CIS to help everyone transition and have the necessary funds and equipment to ensure success by the program, but overall I loved the program a..."
Kaitlin E Waynesburg College
"yes, everything and more than I ever expected"
Mary D Suffolk University
"I now feel like if I was dropped into any country I could survive. I learned to budget my money and plan my own trips. The feeling of going abroad alone and then coming back with so many stories, experiences, and friendships is a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever."
Rose B Marshall University
"Studying abroad did allow me to meet new people and see some wonderful new places, but considering I am both an introvert and a homebody, I was left wishing that I was neither and had taken advantage of the close proximity to London that I had while I was abroad. I did not exactly enjoy the party atmosphere, considering I'm a st..."
Marissa A University of Maine - Farmington
"I definitely believe that my study abroad experience was worth it. And especially the university i went to Westminster is the greatest university as far as international presence, i met people from argentina, spain, brazil, japan, finland, bulgaria. I think it definately helped me understand though how not alone i am in this wor..."
Stephen P University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth
"This experience was one of the greatest things I have ever decided to do. It greatly benefitted my language skills and also taught me how to live with less. I became very aware of the cultural differences-something that is very beneficial for the future when I will be working with different people. "
Rachel B Wisconsin Lutheran College
"Yes I just wouldn't have chose CIS"
Kyle S Plymouth State University
"My study abroad experience was well worth it and if I had the opportunity to do it all over again I would. I learned so much and gained many valuable skills. I have become more major and independent since my journey abroad. I tend to look at the world in a more global view instead of just looking at it from the perspective of my..."
Eric T Keene State College
"Yes. I would love to go back to work or travel for a couple years."
Leila S Western New England University
"My study abroad experience made me want to travel all over and learn many, many languages."
Kristin W Western Kentucky University
"I came back a completely different person. I have found out who I really am. I now have friends all over my country, and many others. I need them in my life, and they have helped me become who I am now. When I went to London, I got into a dance company and double majored in Dance and Psychology. These decisions are crucial to m..."
Ariel G University of Maine - Augusta
"I wanted to go to Scotland since I was a sophomore in High School and started planning to study abroad my first year of college, so I put a lot of time and effort into my choices of school and program. I was not disappointed. It was really good for me to get away from home (I live at home and commute to school normally) and from..."
Amanda P University of Southern Maine
"Yes. I grew a lot during my stay, confronting those things I struggled with, like shyness, language, and I grew much more independent. It feels nice to be feel like I could call another country a second home."
Nicole H Marietta College
"Being immersed in the culture helps with language skills as well as cultural understanding. I have a huge appreciation for the people and traditions in Costa Rica. Now I have the travel bug-- I want to see the entire world!!!!"
Amy E University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
"Yes,I got to experience a new culture while living with a host family."
Samir N Kennesaw State University
"I wouldn't trade my study abroad experience for the world. I learned so much--not just from my classes, but from living on my own. I had to budget, cook for myself, make new friends and explore a new city. I grew up in a small town, and London was the first city in which I ever lived. Living in London made me fall in love wit..."
Margaret G Waynesburg College
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile! I actually am planning on studying abroad again next spring semester with same program!"
Caitlin S Elizabethtown College
"I learned things I never would have realized back at home. Getting out of your comfort zone and diving headfirst into a place where cultural rapids collide cannot be described simply in a sentence, or even a novel. It is an experience, first and foremost. One learns about themselves while also learning about others simultaneousl..."
