"This trip was MORE than I could have wanted and expected. I met some amazing students from all over the nation, while also gaining the opportunity to immerse myself in the amazing Spanish culture and society. "
Sammie H The University of Texas at Austin

Elizabeth W The Catholic University of America
"It was definitely worthwhile. I loved it, and I want to go back. I only wish my program had had other international students instead of just Americans."
Chelsea C The University of Texas at Austin
"I thoroughly enjoyed my study abroad experience in Barcelona. I would not trade the experiences I had for anything. I feel that I returned from Barcelona with a greater knowledge of the Spanish culture and with another glimpse at the outside world. The time I spent abroad influenced me to want to spend more time abroad in the fu..."
Elizabeth C The Catholic University of America
"The study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. Absolutely everyone should study abroad if they can. It expands your horizons, helps you grow up, and shows you things you never thought you would see. "
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. I also learned a lot about the American mindset by being surrounded by a completely different. I would say more, but that would spoil it for those of you hop..."
Nauder N The University of Texas at Austin
"I really enjoyed my experience. I learned a great deal about other cultures and people and that the world is a lot bigger than I previously thought but that people are not so different despite cultural and geographically difference."
Meredith V Trinity University
"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..."
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin

GIl P Trinity University
"My experience has made me much more culturally aware and made me realize not to make generalizations or stereotypes and people of different culture. I was able to travel to different countries and see beautiful museums which I would not have been able to do unless abroad, that contributed to my experience greatly. My art history..."
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..."
Emily B The University of Texas at Austin

Mylinh T The University of Texas at Austin
"I'm so glad I went to Ecuador. It was breathtakingly beautiful, I learned a lot about other cultures and lifestyles, and I learned a lot of Spanish.

"I grew up"
Carly V The University of Texas at Austin
"I grew up a lot. "
Kevin V
"Yes. I've always wanted to stay for an extended period of time in a foreign country so it was perfect for that. It has given me a perspective outside the U.S. that everyone should have. It hasn't changed my future plans."
Kevin R The University of Texas at Austin
"The study abroad experience was a learning experience. Not just on how to be more independent and responsible, but how to be cautious of all things that come with the host country. I gained an insight of the politics and culture of the country. It was very interesting to have interacted with Faculty from the program who were wil..."
Bryan G The University of Texas at Austin

Lauralee S The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my experience and I could not have asked for a better 7 weeks. I loved the Spanish mindset and culture so much that I could have lived there for a much longer period of time. It really opened my eyes to the world in a way that is sometimes difficult in America."
