Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"This was absolutely worth my time! As a senior, every time I practice for job interview questions, I reference my internship and how I came out of any hardships that I had, and how I purely enjoyed working for the boutique PR company in Auckland, NZ, Lily & Louis. "
Mackenzie Wangler Clemson University
"I've learned so many skills that extend beyond the classroom. The biggest and most important characteristic I've gained while being abroad is independence. Without studying abroad I would not have had the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture, travel without any of my classmates, make new friends from all over the count..."
Megan Taylor Stonehill College
"I learned a lot about God and how I can depend on Him in all circumstances. I learned a lot about a different culture and another way of life. I also had a wonderful time working with children during my experience abroad and this made the experience very worthwhile."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot more Spanish grammar. I feel it was taught in a way that I have never learned before and it was refreshing to see it from a new perspective. I learned about it Spain and Europe in general. I learned how to be independent more and meeting new people outside of the U.S was really cool. Yes, it was worthwhile. "
A student University of Maine - Orono
"I learned a lot about China, and its history. I really was able to gain a conceptual understanding of all of the influences in Shanghai, due to the amount of expats that live there. "
Alex Simmons College
"Enjoy every moment your there because when you thing its dragged out it will be over in the blink of an eye"
Mary Pat Williams West Virginia University
"From my experience, I learned independence. I learned how to live in a culture so different from my own and love it for all that it is. I gained a sense of self being able to thrive in another country, and I will forever be thankful for that. Thailand became a home away from home and the level of comfort I felt in Chiang Mai is ..."
Alex Branam University of Georgia
"Out of all my 21 years, I believe that I grew the most during my five months abroad. I started out on this journey completely alone, which was absolutely terrifying. I had hardly been out of the country, never mind lived on the opposite side of the world without knowing a single person. But with the help of TEAN, I was able to m..."
Kim Fisher University of New Hampshire
"I learned so much and it was definitely worth every minute and every penny. I got a completely different perspective of the world and grew as an independent person."
Brianne Messer Drake University
"Being in Thailand taught me patience, and to not sweat the small stuff. The Thai's have a saying "mai pen rai" meaning "no worries". While I was abroad, I learned to go with the flow and to enjoy life without expectations. I also gained a new-found sense of self confidence. In Thailand, I learned to go out and do things on m..."
Sophia Maicki Michigan State University
"I learned to take risks and do what you love. I chose marine biology for a career path purely because I am passionate and love the ocean. Going abroad to JCU helped me to make this decision."
Jessica Willis University of Missouri - Columbia
"I was able to interact with a diverse group of people from a wide range of places, and made friends I'll keep for the rest of my life. It was absolutely worthwhile and I wouldn't change a thing about my experience. "
Ally Cohen University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"I can hardly put into words how incredible this experience was. I gained so many life-long friends. I gained mentors through TEAN. I gained travel experiences. I have memories I will treasure forever, so many laughs with my best friends, cultural immersion, and so much more. I have definitely caught the travel bug and I am alrea..."
A student Westfield State University
"It was definitely worthwhile and i learned a lot about myself through the process"
Katie C College of Charleston
"I learned so much about the language and culture and other life experience. I think it was absolutely worthwhile. "
Megan McGovern Wilkes University
"I learned how to adjust with new living conditions in a totally new culture all on my own. At Fudan, I was pushed to work outside my comfort zone by working with groups of people from around the world who were also from different cultures. I had to learn how transportation and street etiquette in China works. "
Frederick Brown University of North Carolina - Charlotte / UNCC
"I love the Czech Republic. I will return someday but would never recommend using ISA."
A student Missouri State University
"This experience made me grow into the confident person I've always wanted to be! I spent every day navigating and exploring a large city, learned to act like a local, and I now know how to navigate foreign countries on my own - I feel like so motivated to try out new places! "
A student Central Washington University
"I learned I am a lot more independent then I realized. I learned how much a love and appreciate other cultures. I will go back to Ireland again, I can promise you that! "
A student West Texas A&M University
"While studying abroad I learned skills I cannot learn anywhere else. I learned how to adapt to a new environment, language, and culture. I gained valuable intercultural communication skills and learned new perspectives on global issues. I also gained personal growth. I was able to break out of my comfort zone while abroad and I'..."
Melissa Wanninger Miami University
"I learned that there is so much more I can do with my major that I didn't know about, it made me find my love of the Great Barrier Reef which was worth every penny!"
Adam Desjardins University of Maine - Orono
"I gained a strong sense of self while abroad. I had to depend on myself to, in many senses of the word, navigate Chiang Mai and I'm better for it. I learned a lot about what really matters to me as a human being and what I need to be successful in this world. "
Nora DeMilta Baldwin-Wallace University
"I learned to be my own person and get out of my shell"
Taylor Wink University of Hartford
"It was worth every penny. I would do it all over again if I could. I learned the importance of being a versatile professional as well as being bilingual"
