Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"I loved my study abroad program! I traveled to so many places and learned so much about my host country. "
Jamie L University of Denver
"I didn't realize how much it changed me until I came home. I am much more independent now, and have a heightened sense of cultural awareness. I have a new desire to see and experience new things."
Mitzi H Lewis-Clark State College
"Not really. "
Robert D University of Massachusetts Amherst
"It is quite difficult to summarize how those amazing months living in Chile changed my life. But the most rewarding elements all seemed to do with the people of the Chilean culture I got to know. It's amazing how you can gain new perspectives, vision, senses of humor, and ways to love others just by spending time with people in ..."
Jeannie W Colorado State University
"I gained an enthusiasm for traveling. Seeing Spain and experiencing the culture has made me want to travel all over the world, stay in as many different countries as possible, and learn about their culture. Spain in particular is a beautiful country and I love it. I gained a passion for so many differnt types of meat that I neve..."
Christopher B York College of Pennsylvania
"It was extremely worthwhile. I took in about four semesters of Spanish and challenged my levels of comfort. I feel more adaptable, flexible, and capable of being in a foreign place. Going to Costa Rica jump-started my interest in environmentalism. I left with fond memories of my host family (and the food) that I will always ..."
Michelle i University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I learned a lot about the Spanish culture, made tons of new friends and family. I am more understanding of new cultures and open to different ways of life. "
Sara C University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"It's cliche, but I will never look at foreign cultures the same after being immersed in them for 4 months. You do a lot of growing up while you're studying abroad, and I can't say enough about how many amazing experiences you'll have."
Nicolas M Arizona State University
"My study abroad experience was the most amazing thing I did in my college career! I would never trade this experience! I am more willing to be on my own and travel without feeling needy or lost. I enjoy adventure and cannot wait to graduate to explore some more!"
Ela L University of Maryland - Baltimore County
"Great!"
Andrew N Virginia Military Institute
"My experience abroad impacted me perhaps more than most people in the program. I did not "hang out" with the Americans in my group, but ventured off to have friends from Spain. Due to this, I learned immensly about the culture and really lived like a Spaniard for the 5 months I was there. It impacted my life deeply because I was..."
K A University of North Carolina - Wilmington
"I learned that I can be more open minded about things. Also, I was told that the people in my host country were not so nice- totally false!! They are extremely great people! "
Rocio A St. Edward's University
"I can't even begin to express just how worthwhile it was! If I could redo it 100 times I would! Although I did a lot of partying and had a lot of fun, I really felt like this improved my understanding of another culture and of life outside of the United States. Now anytime I see anything referencing Spain or hear the Spain Sp..."
Elena S University of Colorado - Boulder
"I have always loved travelling, but this experience truly changed my life. "
Mary R University of Central Florida
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile for sure. I learned so much not only by taking classes abroad but by living abroad, meeting new people, seeing different parts of the world and going out of my comfort zone. I have always been aware of cultural differences but now I have a better understanding of a culture other than my ..."
Kristen B Bridgewater State College
"Studying abroad has opened my eyes to how globalized our world is. I want to maintain a kind of global citizenship in which I am aware of what is happening around the world. I also hope to move to Europe (if I can get a job there) because I want to experience all types of life as possible! "
Sarah T University of California - Irvine
"My experience instilled a love for traveling and a sort of fearlessness to just venture out and explore other countries despite knowing very little about the language and/or geography. While I research extensively now, I also know that I will enjoy a city/country if all I had was a tourist map to get me around. And I met quite a..."
Melissa W University of California - San Diego
"I made a few friends (Americans) that I sometimes still keep in touch with. I learned a lot about Texas, for some reason. "
Colleen D University of Pittsburgh - Bradford
"I learned so much during my time abroad, both academically and personally. I developed a love for traveling, formed incredible friendships, and improved my Spanish. I would encourage everyone to go!"
Samantha C The College of New Jersey
"Chile was a great experience for me. I went over there not knowing a single other person and it was a truly rewarding experience. I only wish I could have stayed for longer than 6 weeks! "
Sarah S Wake Forest University
"It was very worthwhile. I wouldn't choose the same program because I would go to a different country. "
Ashley V Xavier University
"It was completely the best invested I've ever made. I would do it again. It helped me continue on my career path to foreign language teaching."
Lisa N Mount Mary University
"Living with a host family made a huge different in my overall satisfaction. They were so welcoming and treating me and my American roommate like family."
Anne S Miami University of Ohio
"Yes. For the first I went to a Latin American country where people did not seem accustomed to english speakers (gringos). It didn't feel anti American but it was more challenging to adapt to the culture than my other abroad experiences. I have become more patient with coomunicating in Spanish and I continue to make an effort no ..."
ashley k Elon University
"Yes"
