Study Abroad with WorldStrides
"I feel like I grew up while I was gone. I met the most amazing people and got to see things I only dreamed about. I saw and experienced a new culture and lived outside my comfort zone and that only builds character and strength."
Mara M University of Colorado - Boulder
"Absolutely, I made great friends, had priceless memories and experiences that none of my friends at home have experienced. "
Stephanie M University of Pittsburgh - Bradford
"I was able to make a few good friends during my stay--both with British students and with other international students. I felt that I was stretched and challenged academically, which I hope will lend itself to the rest of my studies at my home uni. Studying in England didn't really have a huge impact on my cultural awareness..."
Erika H Texas Womans University
"I have lived all over the world and had always wanted to live in Italy for an extended amount of time. This trip made me want to come back and live there."
Benjamin M Seattle Pacific University
"I have learned to love everyone, no matter how friendly they are to you. I have also learned that learning a different language is an extremely difficult thing, so I have more patience with those learning English. This has made me want to teach English to foreigners."
Sarah G Missouri State University
"YES. I became much more independent and am seeing how easy it is to travel-- I felt like it was well worth my money and would do it again in a heartbeat. "
Carolyn D Creighton University
"IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE I LOVED IT SO MUCH"
Eva U University of Florida
"I learned more about French culture, art history, and navigating a country where I was not familiar with the language. i also made amazing friends."
Erik M The College of New Jersey
"Completely. I feel as though I gained a better understanding of myself. I now feel as though I can do anything I set my mind to and that I am in the right career path. My experience abroad helped me to realize what I am capable of and that other cultures have so much to offer! I grew up so much on my trip abroad. "
Molly M Luther College
"no. I didn't learn about new cultures living with Americans and the Italians all treated us like pieces of meat or ignorant foreigners which most of the group was. I enjoyed traveling on my own outside of Florence and meeting up with people from my home institution in other programs but wish I would have chosen a different progr..."
Sarah P Stanford University
"It definitely changed my life and I came back home with so much more knowledge of the world. I also came back speaking another language! I still travel and look for ways to learn after finishing my program and graduating from college."
Peter S University of Nebraska- Lincoln
"I greatly benefitted from the program and studying abroad. I met people from a different culture that helped me gain an outlook on my culture and my life. It has made me appreciate the Spanish language more and realize how truly beautiful it is and how it has a culture in itself. It changed my outlook on family and what it means..."
Matthew G Colorado State University
"Let's put it this way, after I came back, my entire life goals had changed. I am currently in the field of international education, even though my BSBA was in Finance. I feel so much more aware of the cultures, politics, and general life-style of Spaniards, as well as Europeans in general. I, hands down, want to stay in the fiel..."
Sara M University of Tulsa
"I had a lot of fun. It let me look at how Europeans live and think. It hasn't drastically changed my overall outlook on life."
Nathaniel B Cornell University
"My experience abroad drastically changed the way I look at the world and at myself. Not only did I improve my Spanish, but I got to understand a new culture first hand. The academics at Veritas encourage my assimilation and ISA helped my integration into San Jose and the Tico lifestyle. My experience with ISA was such a great..."
Nick Z Florida State University
"YES!"
Sara R University of Nebraska- Lincoln
"Absolutely. I learned to travel with more flexibility and to be more open minded. I had a ton of fun. I learned more about arab culture, ate some great food, and made some lifelong friends. I could go on and on about all the ways this program shaped me..."
Christian M University of California - Los Angeles
"My french skills improved drastically, thanks to my Advanced French class, Moroccan friends, and speaking it with my host family. I have a much greater appreciation for Islam and this program allowed me to understand the difference between true Islam and what our stereotypes and prejudices against fundamentalism are. This progra..."
Jennifer P Eastern Illinois University
"Studying abroad definitely helped improve my language abilities to a level that I now feel comfortable interacting with francophones in daily life. It also helped confirm my passion for European History which I am continuing to pursue two years after my time abroad."
Erik M Regis University
"I am more appreciative of other culture and ways of life. Americans tend to feel like the world revolves around us and our beliefs. Going to Peru made me realize that different isn't necessarily bad. And at the end of the day, our differences are what make us unique and give us an amazing story to share. Because of the opportuni..."
Hannah T Pace University
"The program was amazing with supportive staff and families. I became independent and content with exploring alone. I became more assertive and self-confident. I was able to ask questions without feeling stupid, which I would encourage future students to do. You are studying abroad to learn more and in order to learn one must ask..."
Danielle T Concordia College - Moorhead
"Studying abroad was great for my Spanish. I also learned a ton about myself and about the culture I was living in. While in Spain I also had the opportunity to travel to London, Rome and Milan. All of these trips added to my cultural understanding of Europe. I believe that if I hadn't studied abroad, I would not have the job I h..."
Kaley M Western Michigan University
"My spanish improved immensely and I met some awesome people. I got to try some new foods and experience a whole different culture. The only issue I had was that I didn't get along all the time with my housemother because we had such different personalities. "
Rachel S Ohio State University - Columbus
"yes"
Talia S Goucher College
"In the future, I think I will spend time traveling in Latin America which I now know for sure is better suited to my wants & travel needs. I am glad I had this opportunity to get to know Iberian culture. It was definitely worth while but I don't feel the desire to do it again. "
