University Information

Austin College's Center for Global Learning facilitates Semester Abroad Studies and JanTerms. If a student would like to spend a semester abroad with Austin College, the he/she should stop by our office (Wright Campus Center #204) to begin the process. It is extremely important to go through the process in the office, otherwise the College will be unable to send the student's financial aid to the program and the student will need to withdraw from Austin College during their semester or year abroad. The Center's goal is to make each student's experience abroad a meaningful and engaging experience. In order for that to happen, students are required to go through the process in place at the Center.

We look forward to working with you and please read about other student's reviews and experiences at the different programs and locations that can be found at Abroad101.

Important Dates and Deadlines

As of right now, there are no firm deadlines in place for you to complete the Abroad101 Survey. However, before we can post your transcript from your sojourn abroad, you must complete the Abroad101 Survey and interview with the director (Truett Cates).

Thank you very much for your help and cooperation with this. We look forward to hearing about your time and experiences abroad!

Past Review (No Title) ISA Study Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

"Studying abroad was the best decision I made in college. Learning to adjust to such culture shock and going through such nerve wrecking experiences at the end of the day was so much fun. Looking back, I learned alot about myself, and being independent. The Spanish culture is so awesome, and in particular the Catalan culture in B..."

Past Review (No Title) Central College Abroad: Granada - University of Granada

"It was totally worthwhile, if I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. It certainly opens your eyes to a different way of life, and I have found myself incorporating little things from Spain because I like the way they approach certain things, but I retained the way I do other things because I feel like I enjoy it my way ..."

Past Review Not Much Culture Shock, Still Worthwhile SIT Study Abroad: Switzerland - International Studies and Multilateral Diplomacy

"yes it was. I learned alot, but to me personally, I would have wanted morem of a culture shock. The Swiss culture wasn't much different from American Culture. In that respect I would have wanted a different location, but apart from that, I had a good time. "

Past Review (No Title) ISA Study Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

"The improval of my spanish and being self sufficient were my two biggest gains from this program. Personally, I think studying abroad anywhere will give you this experience if the country does not speak your native language. My only caution would be to students going to Spain: the grading system is much harder here in some insta..."

Past Review (No Title) CYA (College Year in Athens) - Semester/Academic Year Program

"My study abroad experience was fantastic. I absolutely loved it and I am so glad I decided to go to Greece. I'm a classics major so it was really rewarding to go to Athens, where so many things happened in the classical world. Every day I saw the Acropolis from my school and that made it even more breath taking. This is my 3rd..."

Past Review The Safety Of The Xalapa Was Very Good. Universidad Veracruzana: Xalapa - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

"My experience was very worthwhile. I gained confidence in my adopted culture and language and through interaction with students, locals and the friends I made I learned a lot about how Mexicans, but specifically Xalapanoes see the world and some of the big issues in their country and the world. Academically/future plan-wise I ..."

Past Review There Is Heaven Above, And Hangzhou And Suzhou Below Zhejiang University of Technology: Hangzhou - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

"The study abroad experience was invaluable, and I'm extremely happy that I went for a full-year instead of a single semester. After my time abroad, I feel that I am more able to understand the Chinese perspective, including the Chinese idea of "face" and "losing face". I also learned how to be assertive in a country of over 1-bi..."

Past Review (No Title) ISA Study Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

"It was initially much harder to be away from home than I thought. But once the initial few weeks passed by, I was having the time of my life. I wish I was still there and that it had not ended yet. These experiences are ones that I will cherish forever."
