Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"I learned a lot about myself. It was the first time I was entirely on my own ever, and that initial isolation from close family & friends was terrifying. But because of that, I became a stronger person and my values & belief in myself is more solid than it ever has been. I love the person I became after study abroad!"
Catherine T University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass
"A new set of life skills, more maturity, new friends, and a new perspective on culture"
A student University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
"I learned about Australian culture, and gained an amazing sense of adventure. Being abroad was the greatest thing I've ever done. Between weekend trips to Gold Coast, Bali, and New Zealand, you feel like you are always on an adventure. Once you're in Australia, you have a whole new hemisphere to explore! I learned independence, ..."

"It was absolutely worthwhile. Between the friendships i gained, to being on my own away from my family for 4 months to experiencing the amazing places Australia had to offer, I would go back in a heart beat. "
A student University of Iowa
"An entire semester in Sydney was a whole new experience. Picking up and moving to another country teaches you so many lessons that you can only learn from being abroad. I learned what it's like to deal with a time change of 16 hours, as well as moving in with people I had never met before, and wouldn't change any of it. It was g..."
A student Clemson University
"I learned entirely too much to put into words. I gained so much from this trip. I got to see one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, I met so many people from all over the globe, and I gained independence. I was able to put my phone down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and people and never get bored. This trip was defini..."

A student College of Charleston
"Any experience in a foreign country for a year will undeniably make you learn a lot about yourself and collect a tonne of experiences, and that was certainly the case for me. In addition, Australia is an incredibly beautiful country with a welcoming culture and kind people, so it's an ideal place for a year abroad. It was all de..."
A student Brandeis University

"What I gained from this experience was learning more about myself than I have ever before. I think that starting new in a brand new place with brand new people is something everyone can do because they can leave behind their past and begin anew and that is so refreshing. I definitely intend to work abroad after this experience..."

A student Berea College
"The whole experience was definitely worthwhile. Working with a local nonprofit and living with a host family brought two unique and rewarding opportunities to learn a countries culture and language. "
A student University of Southern Indiana
"It is just so fascinating to realize not everyone around the world has the same mindset and experiences as you do as a native of Country X, Y or Z. My host grandpa lived through the Spanish Civil War, that's just crazy to hear him talk about a war and later a fascist dictatorship ravaging a Western country. The US is a relativ..."

I improved my level of Italian. I learned that no matter where I am in the world, I will be able to make wherever I am home, with new..."
