Study Abroad with MICEFA
"It was worthwhile because it expanded your horizon of different cultures. "
Devin A Xavier University of Louisiana
"It teaches a type of independence, it was worthwhile. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about another country and was given the opportunity to truly appreciate both my home country and the host one. "
Ashlyn Pinkins Xavier University of Louisiana
"I gained and learned so much, it's difficult to grasp how much exactly studying abroad changed me. It's turned me into a more independent, more cultured person. Before, I felt I had shyness issues, but studying abroad made me overcome my social problems and learn to become an active citizen in a globe filled with interesting peo..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to organize myself and how to organize trips, as well as how to ease off tension between individuals who have a disagreement. Disagreements happened very often during my trips and stay in Paris, but they never escalated to anything drastic."
Antonio E. Hernandez The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about myself! It was such a worthwhile experience. I'm glad I did it. "
Miguel R The University of Texas at Austin
"Hell yeah it was worthwhile. I definitely feel more independent and functional after living in a foreign country on my own, and i feel like i've absorbed the culture a good amount as well."
florian h The University of Texas at Austin
"Overall, I absolutely loved studying abroad. There was definitely some really hard times when I hated everyone in France and just wanted to go home but most of the time it was unbelievable to be living in such a richly cultured city full of different kinds of people and opportunities. My biggest regret is that I didn't travel ..."
Lauren R The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the best thing I've ever done. I was initially skeptical about staying in college an extra year to be able to do it, but I will never reconsider the decision I made to go."
Katelyn D The University of Texas at Austin
"I broadened my food horizon! I'm very glad I went to study in Paris - not necessarily with my program, but it was still a good experience to have. I'd rather have it than not have it. It's made me appreciate how easy life is when everything is in English a lot more. "
Caiqian W The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot of other cultures and about myself. It was difficult transitioning but in the end was worth the hard work. "
Stacy W SUNY - College at Oswego
"This year abroad was everything and more than I ever wanted out of a study abroad experience. Although my academic experience was off to a rough start, after changing for the second semester, that was completely fixed, and I was very happy with my change. I grew exponentially as a young woman, and this year shaped me into a mo..."
Lisa G The University of Texas at Austin
"I got that I can make it through and anywhere. I now know how to be French, eat like a French and Cook like a French..."
Teddy S SUNY - College at Oswego
"I learned what it's like to struggle academically. Studies have always come naturally to me, but sitting in a classroom where the students are debating a text and you can't keep up is the surest way to humble you. It was an ongoing project to remind myself that just because I don't speak as well as the French kids (hey, who coul..."
Christine B SUNY - College at Oswego
"Absolutely, I learned so much and there aren't words to describe it any other way."
Jared S The University of Texas at Austin
"yes, it was very worthwhile. I plan on applying and doing my masters in Paris next fall."
Amy S SUNY - College at Oswego
"I can now speak French fluently, I have several French friends that I will stay in contact with for the rest of my life, and now think I have a much greater understanding of Paris and French culture. Some parts were good, some parts were bad. This has only encouraged my dream of learning languages, teaching languages, and living..."
Jacqueline H The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes"
Hannah B The University of Texas at Austin
"My career plans remain the same, but I learned that I could be a teacher if I wanted to. It was awesome to see the positive impact I made on my colleagues and my students. I am now much more culturally aware and could possibly help a French student adjust to the American culture."
Britta R New Mexico State University
"I could never have learned all that I have about French culture had I not lived in France. During and after my study abroad experience, I found myself forming my own opinions about different aspects of the culture rather than reading about them in a book. Living in another country will definitely show you what all you take for..."
Alina S The University of Texas at Austin
"Almost everything for me has changed. My major, my career choices, my understanding of myself... I could go on and on. I gained such a vast array of experience from dealing with other cultures, to dealing with peers, to learning to accept myself. I wouldn't change this experience for the world. The only thing that was diffic..."
Andrew B The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, the experience was definitely worthwhile. It is a great experience to see how society and political/educational systems are different in other countries. Also, especially if you have any interest in history, art, food, culture, or language, you get to see and experience things that pale in comparison to what you have access..."
Jennifer G The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my study abroad program. I got to speak French every day, I got to live in Paris, I didn't have to go to class if I didn't want to, and I didn't need a fake ID. Life was sweet."
Helen G SUNY - Binghamton
