Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I learned a lot more about the ancient Greeks, and not just those who lived in Athens. Every trip we took with the program was an excellent learning experience that was both memorable and informative."
Lincoln M Elon University
"Yes so worthwhile "
Ryan K Elon University
"I learned all about Greek culture and the people there. I was able to immerse myself completely out of my comfort zone."
Abby Bailey Elon University

Sadie T Elon University
"I learned how to be independent. Definitely worthwhile! I feel like I have changed and grown so much as a person. "
Anna Elon University
"I really enjoyed being a part of an Italian family for a few months. Living with my host family was the best part of my time abroad and it also seriously helped me improve my language skills. "
Lilly DeNunzio Elon University
"I further developed the ability to quickly and effectively communicate with customers while solving their issues and answering their questions. I also learned how to effectively prioritize my responsibilities so that I did not miss important deadlines. "
Charlie Bland Elon University
"I learned how to be flexible when things don't go as you planned, because it is these times that you have the most rewarding experiences. I learned to do what I am afraid of and never say no to new things because you will most certainly get something out of it."
A student Elon University
"I gained a lot of independence, I think everyone should have the same opportunity."
Francesca Marsh Elon University
"100% I needed a break from my home institution and experience a city University"
A student Elon University
"I learned to roll with the punches a little bit more. If a problem arises, especially while abroad you need to stay calm to a certain degree in order. More so rolling with the punches can lead to such amazing and remarkable experiences. If you are able to go with the flow it can lead to an immersive experience you never thought ..."
A student Elon University
"Too difficult to explain...I learned everything from Spanish to how to live, work, study, travel and plan alone. I learned how to connect with people and how to problem-solve. It was difficult at times, but 100% worth it. "
A student Elon University
"I became much more confident in doing things alone. Growing up and going to school in small suburban towns, I had never had to use public transportation before. I became much more independent and adventurous, and I tried to not fall right back into my car driving habits."
A student Elon University
"The FIE program in Dublin is absolutely remarkable. Each and everyday is a brand new experience packed with adventure and personal growth. I attend a small liberal arts school in the United States and it was quite the shock to learn how to live in a major European capital such as Dublin. However, FIE is with you every step of th..."

"My experience made me more confident and way more independent. Absolutely worthwhile, as I want to move back. "
Allie M Elon University
"I gain a new perspective on Irish life and culture. I learned that I loved the city life, especially Dublin. It was very worthwhile."
Colin K Elon University
"There is no better gift that you can give yourself than the chance to experience living in a different country for an extended period of time. China taught me so much about developing a global perspective, challenging myself to take risks, seeing things from other points of view, and exposed me to so many new ideas. I began the ..."
sophie e Elon University
"I learned, obviously, a lot about India, but also a lot of things about myself. Being in such a novel situation, forces some introspection about who you are on you. Your opinions and customs are in question all the time, and often you have to explain what it's like as an American. I gained a deep sense of acceptance and toleranc..."
Danielle R Elon University
"I am a completely new person after Varanasi. I had no idea how much it would expand on who I was spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I love so much deeper now and I feel I understand people on a totally new level. I became passionate about Indian culture and Hinduism, things I knew absolutely nothing about beforehand. I fell ..."
Alexandra B Elon University
"This was the most rewarding experience of my life. It changed my heart forever and I will be forever grateful to TBC for giving that to me. Being in China for 4 months made me realize I could do absolutely anything, it gave me friends that I will have for the rest of my life and people to visit all over the world. I cannot recom..."
Maggie R Elon University
"Going to DIS really changed my life! I realized how much I flourished being in an international environment and even decided to change my original career path to one in international education. There is just something about this program and the city of Copenhagen that you can't find anywhere else. It truly is a magical place and..."
Kelli A Elon University
"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
"I believe that any study abroad experience is worthwhile. However, the Elon in London program allows you to explore culture and society in an individual way while still operating within the Elon support system. It encourages independence, curiosity, and exploration."
April K Elon University
"YES! It was great. Everyone should go abroad, and this is a comfortable, dynamic program. London is an amazing city, and since this is affiliated with London it makes it easy to go through our school so all Elon students should consider it."
Kari M Elon University
"Yes, it was completely worthwhile, and I would recommend Singapore to anyone who's wondering where to go abroad. "
