Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"It's true when they say studying abroad will change you. Beforehand I could not imagine that I would be able to confidently travel alone to a foreign place. Being uncomfortable in a new place has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Gaining confidence definitely made my trip worthwhile. "
Rachel University of New Hampshire
"I learned that I love to travel and I'm not afraid to travel on my own anymore. I hadn't really lived on my own or on a budget before. It was definitely worthwhile"

"I learned how to admire and participate in Thai culture while also respecting the practices. I gained a newfound understanding of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries roles in geopolitics (which is extremely important if you've only been exposed to Western countries' roles). I learned how to be more patient and more unde..."
Stephanie Huynh Lehigh University
"While abroad I learned so much more about myself, and really grew into myself as a person. I stepped out of my shell and became more outgoing and adventurous. The friendships I made abroad are unlike any that I have made in any other environment. I have a lot for these people and we still stay in touch even though we come from s..."
Lyndsey Michelsen West Chester University of Pennsylvania
"I learned how to better get out of my comfort zone and better listen to other people. As an outsider, I wanted to respect Thai culture as much as possible and through studying abroad, my eyes were opened to new cultures, experiences, and adventures. This experience was 100% worthwhile. "
Ann Carroll Winthrop University
"Exposed to marine science classes which I loved! Got to travel"
A student Middlebury College
"I gained great international experience; how to better live on my own and fend for myself; how to go out and not only make friends with those in my program, but also the individuals living in the culture; how to use the bus system; what a public school feeling was like; and so much more! It was 100% worthwhile!"
Bethany Gillet Concordia University Nebraska
"It was most defiantly worthwhile. I learned how amazing people are in other countries, learned freedom and independence unlike anything on a normal college campus, I learned how to budget travel, I figured out which types of people I like to be around, basically everything. If I could move there I would in a heartbeat. Maybe som..."
Rhianna Miller University of Hartford
"I gained confidence meeting new people, trying new foods, navigating new places/systems/activities, and speaking Spanish. It was very fun and relaxed and an interesting change from my home school."
A student Wellesley College
"That their culture is a lot different from ours"
A student University of Hartford
"It was worthwhile. I learned how beautiful a place can be if you take care of it. "
A student University of Hartford
"I learned how to be alone in an unfamiliar environment, how to do more things for myself, how to challenge myself with course material I have never seen, and just overall more about myself as a person, good and bad. "
Brooke Snoll Saint Leo University
"I learned to be independent."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned that I am capable of going places alone and figuring out what I am doing independently, I gained confidence in myself and my abilities. It has been the most worthwhile experience I have ever gotten the opportunity to participate in. "
Kaylee Pearson University of Southern Indiana
"Every country will have its great qualities and its really bad qualities. It took me a while to adjust to the differences but I eventually fell in love with country after I decided to rely on myself and show myself around the country more. Exploring the city showed me so much culture and I became much more confident and independ..."
A student Birmingham-Southern College
"I learned how to adapt to new surroundings, cultures, public transportation, educational styles, and new people. I gained a new perspective on traveling, having to rely on myself and my intuition instead of my family and friends, and the process of changing in my own time, as well as new friends along the way. "
A student University of Hartford
"I learned language skills, the ability to work and communicate with people, determination, and patience. It was definitely worth it."
MacKenzie Kirkham Birmingham-Southern College
"I was able to gain a new perspective on various subjects thanks to my professors, begin learning a new language, and acquire experience in what it's like to study, work, and live abroad. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student DePaul University
"I learned how to be independent and to cooperate with others because everyone is working with different schedules. It was difficult at first, but once you find a routine, then it is much easier and the time will just fly by!"
Marina Renzi Stonehill College
"I gained a broader knowledge on the world and different cultures. I learned a lot about myself and what I want to do in the future. "
Devan Matthews California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
"I learned how to be independent, but also utilize the resources that I have. I learned when to ask for help and not be afraid to say you don't know about something. It was definitely worthwhile because you have to be vulnerable and take chances to ever learn or gain anything worth having! "
Mariah Ouellette University of New Hampshire
"I learned to be more independent while abroad. I chose which classes I wanted to take and where I wanted to travel. Studying abroad was a chance to travel like I had never done before, and it was definitely worth it. I got to meet people from all over the world and have the time of my life!"
Amy Chan University of Iowa
"I learned how to be resourceful and trust myself. I had very little travel experience prior to studying abroad but now I feel ready to take on the world!"
Cassidy Yates University of New Hampshire
"It was 100% worthwhile. I gained new friendships and learned more about myself and got to really live on my own for four months. "
