Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."Completely worthwhile. I learned a lot in the classroom and in my travels. I learned more about myself, my values, and my future aspirations. I gained an appreciation for different European cultures and learned how to acclimate to different situations."
A student Georgetown University
"Studying abroad for the fall semester was hands-down the best experience of my life! I'm so glad that I chose Copenhagen. As far as European cities go, I would say that it's one of the most under-rated. Which, for a person living there, is pretty great, because you aren't bombarbed with tourists and too much tourism. That having..."

"Even after a year of living in Tbilisi, this course offered me not only a review of the history and politics of the region, but also insight into a number of different aspects I had not previously focused on. If you are interested in specializing in Caucasian affairs, there is truly no better program available. "
Willis H Georgetown University
"It was absolutely fantastic."
Rachel R Georgetown University
"I had an incredible experience working alongside the community members and developing a project of our own conception, from the ground up. The relationships you build through sharing laughter, struggle, success, and joy is priceless. "
Do Kyung Y Georgetown University
"I learned so much about myself, how good I could become at German if I only pushed myself to take the chance. I became more self-sufficient, matured thoroughly, and had my eyes opened to the unendingly various ways in which people could live. It was awareness-widening and character-depeening. Absolutely worthwhile. "
A student Georgetown University
"Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile -- becoming involved and going abroad with Think Impact was probably the best decision I made during my entire college career. It opened my eyes and cemented my interest in working in international development. The practical experience from the program allowed me to land my first job after coll..."

"Studying abroad was definitely worth it. I learned about Maharasthran culture, international relations in South East Asia, particularly about the USA's relations with India, plus I learned about myself- my strengths and weaknesses as a person- especially in communication!"

"I have never been away from home until this last summer and I learned that it was something I could accomplish. I am very proud of living on my own for a summer and would suggest others to take advantage of EiAbroad's Program. "

"I learned so much about myself, my limits my comfort zone, but also that i can go out in the world and be ok. I learned how to be a more patient person, I experienced so many new things. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Georgetown University
"Yes totally worthwhile. I found a leader in myself and connected with people who showed me new ways of thinking and innovating. "
Will D Georgetown University
"Despite all the flaws, this was absolutely a worthwhile experience that I would do again in a heartbeat. Cuba is an incredible place to grapple with your own assumptions and perspective, realizing how huge and how small the gaps between two "cultures" really are. It's not a glamorous experience, and sometimes I wondered if I wou..."
A student Georgetown University
"Yes absolutely"
Tyler H Georgetown University
"Perspective"
Austin U Georgetown University
"I became fluent in Chinese, gained a more nuanced view of Sino-American political relations, acquired a deeper understanding of the Chinese people and their way of thinking and living, realized that I thrive in an international/cross-cultural environment, gained a deeper understanding of my own culture now that I have something ..."
Justin T Georgetown University
"Study abroad definitely changed my life and I would recommend it to ANYONE. I learned so much about myself and the world at large. I became so much more self-reliant and independent, and I made so many lasting friendships, especially with other study abroad students. It was also a great break from the rigor of my university in t..."
