Sharon G University of Rochester

Megan M The Catholic University of America
"Studying abroad in Sydney made me realize that anywhere in the world is only a plane ride away. In 2009/2010 I went back to Sydney under a 1 year work/travel visa and lived and worked there. I am now in South Korea living and working. Neither of these 2 things would have happened if I wouldn't have studied abroad. It opened my e..."
Ellesse T Loyola University Chicago

Elizabeth S The University of Texas at Austin
"."
Nicole L The Catholic University of America
"Absolutely. My program was overpriced, but not as expensive as many programs I looked at. The 6-week program is perfect for someone looking to get the benefits of studying abroad in a short amount of time: in my case, I'm a big homebody but love to travel, so it was just the right amount of time away from home. I feel like st..."
Monica L The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was one that will never leave me. I learned so much while I was there. Not only did my French improve, but I met people from so many different countries. It really helped me learn about the differences not only between North American countries and European countries, but also about the intercultural experiences ..."
Madeline P University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"The most imoprtant thing I learned during my time abroad was how to become culturally aware and how important globalization really is for the future success of mankind. I learned how to live almost on my own and become more independent than I was prior to this experience. I made very close friends that were in the study abroad p..."

Lauren E Barnard College
"I enjoyed studying abroad, but it did not change me or my future plans. I had lived abroad before and had had many of the experiences of learning to travel and be self-sufficient in a foreign country already. Barcelona was very touristy and very Americanized feeling and though there were a lot of places to seek culture, I did no..."
Claire G The University of Texas at Austin
"My German improved a lot (although not as much as it could have) and I had a chance to take classes in my major from a new perspective. It was my first time in Europe and I can't complain about that. I just wish I had had more time to travel and soak up everything. "
Shmillip S Tulane University
"This was my first time truly on my own and in a country with such a truly different culture. It was eye-opening and great fun. It has made me consider working or studying abroad again for a short time."
Chloe W The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved studying in Nantes. My host family was wonderful and I met some interesting people both in the city and in the program itself. My speaking ability improved greatly, which was my main purpose in studying abroad."
Ima O Trinity University
"YES. I am now a huge study abroad advocate. I think that everyone should live in a different culture, because you learn a lot about yourself, about your relationships, about your goals, and about other people. I am looking for a way to move back to Europe after college, and would love to live there permanently. Living in Par..."
Sarah S The University of Texas at Austin
"I defintely have seen a different way of life in London. The way in which people interact in such a diverse cosmopolitan city was really inspiring and fun to see. "
Alexandra D Trinity University
"Yes! I learned so much about the Spanish people and culture and my Spanish also improved to near fluency. I now want to return to work in Spain or a Latin American nation."
Sarah L Trinity University
"My study abroad experience was fabulous! I could not have asked for a better time or city to live in. My eyes were opened to another culture that began to feel like my own, despite the differences from my culture. I grew an even deeper appreciation for the Spanish language and have gained the confidence to use it much more of..."
Madeline E The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile and definitely once in a lifetime. I grew in different ways than I thought I would. I didn't learn as much Spanish as I was hoping but I grew as a person and have a better world outlook. "
Margaret B
"I had the time of my life in Italy. I learned to appreciate my heritage, while also gaining perspective on my life in America. The confidence I gained from being able to survive on my own in a foreign culture made a great impact on my future plans and decisions. I chose to travel abroad again and again, at every opportunity, ..."
