Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"I became much more independent and it opened my eyes to issues all over the world. It put things into perspective. "
Marika W Western Washington University
"It was definitely worthwhile! I learned that traveling is addicting, as well as the advantages of attending a large university. I also learned how to adapt to big city life, never having lived in a large city before. "
A student Western Washington University
"I gained many new friends, challenged myself in academic and social aspects, and traveled to places I've always dreamed of! It was definitely worthwhile and is a worthwhile investment you will be talking about for the rest of your life."

"Going to Australia and living half way across the world taught me to open my eyes and mind to the endless possibilities that the world has to offer. I shared countless experiences of laughter and excitement with friends from all over the world. The lessons I learned in my 4 month period abroad taught me more than any text book..."
Emma S Augsburg College
"My communication skills have gotten extremely better since I went abroad. I went there knowing one student and can say I have met and interacted with 100s of new people. I have learned to keep an open mind to things that are different. I have done things I never thought were possible and have conquered many of my fears. "
Shawn S Nichols College
"I learned a lot about Australians and their culture. I learned a lot about myself and how to try all sorts of new experiences. It was one of the best decisions of my life."
A student DePaul University
"Living in a new country for a semester opened my eyes to the vastness and diversity of the world we live in, but also helped me to see that people from all backgrounds can be considered as part of our "world family." I saw and experienced things I never would have had the chance to staying in the United States, and overall I thi..."
Madison D Drake University
"I learned so much while I was abroad and I am so thankful to have made the decision to go. I got to explore a really fascinating culture that on the surface didn't look too different from my own but surprised me in the subtle differences on many levels. I also was exposed to a new perspective of my own country as seen from abroa..."
Erin B Stonehill College
"I can't begin to explain what I gained from this. My sense of self was enforced, and given a new facet. My host country became like my home country, and my friends became family. The breathtaking views alone are enough to leave a poet with a lifetime of imagery. It was so worthwhile. I miss it every single day!"
Christine C Towson University
"I learned to say yes to everything. I was away nearly every weekend and truly took advantage of every trip opportunity and experience. SAY YES!"
Sarah B University of Rhode Island
"I gained such valuable life knowledge. It was the first time having to navigate travelling around a foreign country on my own. I felt like a totally different person there; someone more outgoing and eager to go on adventures. It was definitely worthwhile! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and wouldn't change a thing."
A student Columbia College Chicago
"It was absolutely worthwhile! I learned how to step out of my comfort zone and take advantage of all opportunities that came my way. I now know I am capable of providing for myself and living a happy and healthy life on my own. I learned to adapt and accept new ways of life and am now interested in learning more. I gained a whol..."
Sarah D Stonehill College
"I learned how to adapt and embrace different cultures, and I gained such a broader perspective on societal mores and attitudes from my friendships, both international and American. "
Brendan G University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I changed so much as a person during my time in New Zealand, it's hard to put into words. Just learning how rewarding it is seeing new places and meeting different people, and that there's so much out there waiting to be seen and experienced I don't think I could go back to my life before and feel content! I learned so much abou..."
Margaret K University of Massachusetts Amherst
"100% worth every penny. I gained so many good experiences and got to know myself on a totally different level. "
Abigail E University of Iowa
"I can't imagine not having this experience. The people I met, the worlds I lived in have helped shape my identity and goals. "
Nicole R University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"My time abroad was invaluable. I made some of the greatest friends I've ever had, seen things and gone places I'd never imagined experiencing, and learned a tremendous deal about myself. I really grew as a person while I was abroad, and I can honestly say I was the happiest in Australia that I've been in a very long time."
julia.bader.754 Bond University
"I learned more about myself than I thought possible. I changed my career path. I came into my own. I fell in love with the world all over again."
A student Ohio State University - Columbus
"I learned a lot about myself. I gained some awesome friends that I would of never been able to meet if I did not go through TEAN. While in Australia I learned so many cool things that I probably wouldn't of done while in the US like scuba diving and surfing. "
Christopher P Nichols College
"Studying abroad has taught me that If I can travel across the world and live in a foreign country, I can do anything. I became more independent and learned how to manage money and plan out my own trips. It has also taught me to step out my comfort zone and immerse myself in a different culture."
Tier G Lasell College
"I gained so much. The most important thing is the ability to handle challenging situations as a group, and when I was by myself. I travelled alone for a month, including a week of hitch-hiking alone around New Zealand. I had to handle lots of tough situations on my own, and I'm more mature because of it."
Colin B University of Colorado - Boulder
"I gained independence and more confidence in myself. It was much more than worthwhile"
Savohna B Austin College
"This was my first opportunity to spend an extended period of time outside of the States and it helped me to gain an entirely new perspective on the world. Living life for three and a half months on the other side of the world helped me to truly understand the vastness and diversity that exists outside the confines of the United ..."
A student Stonehill College
"Studying abroad is about more than the physical time spent in another country, but about the skills that a student walks about with from the entire experience. In Australia, a major skill I have gained is the ability to adapt; adapt to new cultures, places, situations. Every person will be in a situation with unexpected changes,..."
Melissa Z Colorado State University
"I learned a lot about myself and my personality. One thing I discovered is that no matter how different someone might seem to you when you first meet them, you can have a lot of things in common with them. Some of my closest friends while abroad were people I probably would not have approached back home."
