"I became a lot more confident about being independent and exploring on my own. I took classes that were really different from ones that I took at Wisconsin and I loved expanding my education that way.

Michael L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to make abroad become home and everyday since I've left Denmark, I feel a great loss in my heart. I miss my host family like I would miss my own family. I also love them like my own. It's crazy how four months abroad can change your view of yourself because I had to spend so much time reflecting as an Asian Ameri..."

A student Wellesley College
"This was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life. I learned how to allow myself time to appreciate life, how to live in the moment, how to learn with stress, how to talk to strangers, and how to make a home in a foreign city. I learned how to slow down and appreciate simpler things in life. I learned to take life ..."
Elizabeth V Trinity University
"I have never been to Europe, so the emphasis on travel helped me gain an appreciation for international culture. I learned HOW to travel from country to country, how to blend in just enough to not be targeted, how to navigate big cities, and how to say just enough words in each language to be able to communicate with locals. It ..."
