"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..."

Philip S Trinity University
"I honestly learned a lot about myself while being in Japan. I learned what part of me I felt was truly defining and what part existed in the context of American culture.

"Yes it was worthwile, made me more adaptable"
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worth while and I would definitely choose it again, simply because it was the only Japan program offered at UT for the summer. My experience was amazing only because of when I went out and explored the city; not because of all the little things the program itself did for me. But, the program gave me an excuse to g..."

Laura Z Austin College
"Americans are very money driven. In Spain they balance work and play much better. They live less extravagantly, but spend less time at work. My study Abroad experience was extremely worth while, and that's really an understatement. I loved seeing that their are other ways to live than the way we do at home. It's amazing how diff..."
