Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I gained so much confidence when I went abroad. I traveled for the most part on my own and decided to make it a semester of me. I did what I wanted, went where I wanted to go and explored whenever I felt like it. I returned to the US knowing myself better and with a greater understanding of what I wanted to do with my education ..."

"I became more comfortable speaking Italian, and traveling alone. The program definitely expanded my cultural awareness; for the most part I didn't experience much culture shock moving from NY to Rome, but there are some differences I had to get used to."
Elizabeth e American University
"Yes. My language buddy really made my experience amazing. He took me to visit his family, to spend time with his friends and to experience his daily life. My eyes were opening. I appreciated his willingness to share and his excitement to help me to have a great experience. We are still in touch and I will never forget him or any..."

"I was originally supposed to study at AUC in Cairo for spring 2011. I ended up being evacuated and accepted into AMIDEAST's program 3 weeks after it had already started. I landed in a country where I knew NOTHING about it, and I flourished. I saw more than I remember and definitely remember more than I've seen. It makes you stro..."

This program also has many international students interested in it (my class was half students from the U.S. and half students from other parts of the world). The professor was excellent and very interested i..."

"Living in Denmark has opened up the entire world for me, as I have visited dozens of countries since then with the skills and confidence that I gained there as a study abroad student. I plan to work in study abroad specifically because I want to enrich students' lives as much as I felt like DIS enriched mine. My host family is a..."

" I actually learned a lot about Canada and other countries from living with international students. I had the most fun-packed semester of my undergrad career and created some of the strongest relationships of my life. "
Jeannette B American University
"Absolutely! Studying abroad should be a requirement for every American college student, regardless of area of academic study. Our world is too small and shrinking too fast for our students to not have first-hand knowledge of another country."

"My time in Prague through CET was without a doubt the most worthwhile experience I've ever had. Prague is such a beautiful, fun, and relaxed city. And the Czech Republic as a whole is so special. The craziest, most unpredictable things happen there. There is so much to do, and the city is small enough that you really feel at hom..."
