Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"I learned to go with the flow, a lot about Thai culture and art that I wasn't exposed to in my previous learning experiences, and a ton of great new food to eat! It was 100% worthwhile for me to travel by myself and be exposed to a new place and people to mature and prepare myself for life after college. "
A student California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
"To keep an open mind and constantly work to grow and learn. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Texas A&M University - College Station
"I learned a lot from my experience abroad. I learned how to be more confident and come out of my comfort zone. I developed friendships with people I see lasting for a life time and creating memories I will cherish forever. The whole experience was worthwhile and I hope to be able to visit Australia again in the future. "
A student University of Hartford
"I gained knowledge of other cultures. It was totally worth it."
A student Mount Saint Mary College
"I think the biggest lesson I learned while being abroad was to do something that you love, not because someone else wants you to do it. I came across many occasions in Australia where I really wanted to do something but no one else wanted to or didnt have the time. Instead of skipping out on the opportunity, I went for it alone...."
Nick G University of New Hampshire
"I learned so much from my experience abroad. I gained a lot of confidence working with children, which is the group of people I want to work with when I'm older. I became a lot more independent by navigating public transportation across Australia. I learned about different cultures throughout different cities in Australia, as we..."
Deanna Longo University of Delaware
"Every second was worthwhile. I learned so much about different cultures and values. I gained so much confidence, joy, passion for traveling and understanding of what things are like on the other side of the world. Taking classes at an actual university made things so much more worthwhile as well. I got a lot better at Spanish an..."
Hailey Andersen Texas A&M University - College Station
"The single most worthwhile thing i gained from my experience abroad were the relationships I formed with the people there. I was able to make great friends both in Korea and international students in Korea. I still keep in touch with them months after my program has ended. My worldview has also broadened by spending time with th..."
A student Stevens Institute of Technology
"As you read in my title, I am a better friend, daughter and person because of Chiang Mai. It taught me more about myself than I realized I had to learn. The patience and cultural appreciation you learn to have for the people and the country come back to the states with you and I truly think they will make you a better person bec..."
Olivia Talbot Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State
"I learned a lot about another country as well as a lot about myself. This was a journey where independence was needed and I was immersed in activities and situations that I would never imagined myself to be in years ago. Even being in a country that is pretty similar to the United States, there was a lot of culture and history t..."
Jenna Kobata California Lutheran University
"I learned so much about Australian culture and my own American culture while abroad, and coming home. I also gained a great amount of self-awareness and learned how to live independently in a city and navigate public transportation. Studying abroad helped me gain confidence, self-understanding, and gave me the travel bug. I love..."
Caroline Grady Stonehill College
"I gained more than I can even describe. I am such a different person and I grew more in those two months than I have in all of my previous years combined!"
Margaret Harrigan Texas A&M University - College Station
"I returned with a better understanding of not only Italian culture but of my own as well. Incredibly worthwhile, an invaluable experience."
Lawrence Turner Texas A&M University - College Station
"I'm a peer advisor in Pace's Study Abroad office, and what I always tell my students is that the number one thing I got, and that people tend to get from study abroad, is personal growth. I became so much more open and willing to do things and expand my horizons, and I was more adventurous than I've ever been before in my life. ..."
Katherine Gallagher Pace University
"This experience was so worthwhile. I learned what it is like to live outside the US and how other people view the US, which was very eyeopening and humbling. In addition, I learned how to responsible and safety travel the world by myself, learning that this is not as hard as you think it is, gaining valuable knowledge about plan..."
Sarah Powner California Lutheran University
"I felt as though I grew as a person and got out of my comfort zone. It was such an eye opening experience."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned a lot about the indigenous populations and their struggles that they still go through today. Australians take an extremely different value to being indigenous than Americans. Getting out of my comfort zone is the key to being successful in most aspects of life."
Jeremy Pultz Ohio Northern University
"Many of the things I gained are intangible. More confidence, more self-assurance, more respect for myself and my capabilities, the list goes on. Not only did it change my view of myself and made me better, it was a blessing toward my language skills! Am I fluent? Of course not, but now I know that if I keep working my goal of be..."
Katie University of Southern Indiana
"My perspective on life and my world view have changed quite a bit. It was most certainly worthwhile."
Deano McNeil Ohio Northern University
"I gained adaptability, problem solving skills, greater appreciation for different cultures, planning and research skills, and confidence! It was definitely worthwhile and a huge learning experience."
Anna Winter Upper Iowa University

Erin Crotty University of Kentucky
"How different the cultures were. I loved the experience of being in Europe for over two months."
A student Ohio Northern University
"I learned a lot about myself while I was abroad. I learned that I can be independent, but that having friends around you is always important. I also learned that I thrive on adventure and exploring new places. I have the travel bug now and I can't wait until I can go back to Australia to visit my friends and go to other countrie..."
Amanda Fall University of Maine - Orono
"I gained independence and confidence while abroad."
Kayla I University of Hartford
"The healthcare system in Australia is much different, and I was able to get hands on experience, which I wouldn't have been able to do in the US. I think this makes the experience worthwhile, since it gives me a step up from other applicants to physical therapy school."
A student Ohio Northern University
