Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."This experience was a great chance for me to experience life in a culture very different from my own. The academic content was interesting and raised my awareness about world issues in health care. It opened my eyes to different jobs and ways of life. "
Taylor W Carleton College
"Oxford was incredible. During my time there, I have fallen even more in love with academia and with England. I am now considering applying there for grad school at some point in the future."
Emmamarie H Carleton College
"Oh my yes. In so many little ways. I don't know that I can name them."
Paul C Carleton College
"I became even more confident, mature, and independent. If you want to make correct decisions about your future in this now global world, you need to see what the world has to offer. This doesn't mean that I will end up living somewhere outside the US. It means that I am more confident in the decisions that I make because I have..."
Rhys L Carleton College
"Absolutely. I have a much better understanding of another culture and of myself. The experience has helped me solidify what I want to do with my life as well as show me what life has to offer."
Graciela Q Carleton College

"I would have never been able to learn the things that I did about Rwanda had I not been studying in the country. I have such a good understanding of the country, and it has prompted me to continue to study this very complicated and interesting region. I now have a better idea of what I would like my comps to be. "
Claire M Carleton College
"I feel evermore a citizen of the world, gaining a perspective on internaitonal relations and economical bewailment."
Benjamin A Carleton College
"A lot of the people on my program are Chinese language or East Asian studies majors and plan to work in China or with China for a career. At the moment, I don't, but if I don't get into Biology grad school, it's a possibility."
Becca G Carleton College
"I learned so much about the world and about myself. I am so much stronger for having done it."
Julia O Carleton College
"Honestly, I'm not sure yet. More patience, maybe, an ability to connect with people who are really different from me, a greater understanding of what poverty and development mean. Definitely had strong impact on cultural awareness, and most likely on future career. Still processing though."
Rebecca G Carleton College
"Yes. I would not change it for the world. I loved it and loved traveling. The classes and professors were not quite my cup of tea, but it was worth the experience. "
Sarah T Carleton College
"I learned a lot about myself and gained a lot of perspective. You always hear about how poor people are in other countries, but actually seeing these people and how they live is life-changing. Bonding with foreigners (particularly those with whom I shared no common language) was incredibly meaningful and I plan on keeping in con..."
Rachel O Carleton College
"Yes"
Jenn B Carleton College
"Yes"
Jenn B Carleton College
"I've only been back in the US for a few days now, and I imagine I'll see more of an impact as time goes on. My biggest goal was to improve my Spanish skills and most definitely did that. I also developed some new interests in art and history by actually being in Europe where so many of the major movements took place, but it al..."
Ashley P Carleton College
"I have loved being in another country, and it has opened my eyes more to the world. We are really in a Carleton bubble, and this has helped me see that."

Eric M Carleton College
"YES. My mind has been significantly opened to other points of view, and I now have a much fuller understanding of the Latin American culture."
Alex L Carleton College
"Worthwhile doesn't begin to describe it. It was simultaneously the most difficult thing I have ever done and the most wonderful. The program had flaws, to be sure - flaws that could be remedied easily enough (and probably won't be, because that's how things work). But my understanding of other people, other cultures, other wo..."
Sarah P Carleton College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile."
