"more Spanish skills, irreplaceable friends, travel experience"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I think I learned a lot about people from my experience abroad. Initially I was very hopeful that I would make lots of friends abroad, but found that not to be the case. The majority of the student body was very forgettable and uninteresting and only interested in partying in Europe, and so I didn't gell with a lot of students, ..."

"It was absolutely worthwhile. I was so sad to leave. I made great friends, ate great food and learned a lot--not just in class, but from a new daily pattern that I got used to. "
Karen A Tufts University
"I learned that this world is an incredible, scary, challenging, beautiful, complex place. That people are good at heart. I learned many things about myself which I intend to keep tucked carefully away, in a safe place where I shall always remember them. I learned the beginnings of a whole new language, and began to understand ho..."

Mary Kate C Providence College
"Yes. Not only did I have a boatload of fun the entire time I was in Buenos Aires, but I learned some valuable perspective from living abroad and spending a solid amount of time with people from a different part of the world. You learn so much about politics, economics, "society," and international relations in general when you..."

"Yes, but I wish I researched the program more ahead of time."

"Learned that I actually enjoy learning and speaking new languages. I have become more aware and accepting of cultural differences, from visiting diffierent countries and seeing so many tourists in Paris. I learned how to travel by myself and navigate a new city, and learn to explore the city I am living in. Pretty much learned..."

"I have gained important experiences here, but feel like I learned more about physical Ecuador (the countryside, mountains, etc.) than the people of Ecuador. "

Eliza M Providence College
"absolutely, i am more comfortable with myself."
Steph K Providence College
"I am a much more understanding, patient, and confident person from this experience. My study abroad experience was defined by the abroad portion rather than the study part. Just getting to class was a new experience. There is a difference between traveling to different countries and living in a new country. Living in Vienna, I w..."
