A student New Mexico State University
"After traveling abroad, I can't see continuing my education without at least one international experience each year. Opening my mind and being exposed to different cultures and world views has made me a more conscientious citizen of the U.S. I am more sensitive now to perspectives and have found new eyes for international stud..."

"During my first semester I really felt the whole thing was a waste of time. But I think if I hadn't done it I would have wondered and wished I had done it. Plus, the friends I made are amazing. If for nothing else I'm glad I did it for the friends I made. Academically it really was not worth it. I didn't get to take the classes..."

"I was never more aware of poverty but was so touched by everyone's tolerance. Here the homeless are an eyesore and there they were viewd as people and let into to restaurants to sell their art and wares. It was so worthwhile. I learned more spanish than I had ever learned in a classroom and met the most wonderful people. Every..."
Avra E New Mexico State University
"My career plans remain the same, but I learned that I could be a teacher if I wanted to. It was awesome to see the positive impact I made on my colleagues and my students. I am now much more culturally aware and could possibly help a French student adjust to the American culture."
Britta R New Mexico State University
"It was worth it! I never was very interested in South America; maybe because it seemed too close to home. But having traveled in Argentina, learning more of the language and meeting the people, I really want to go back and discover more of that area! I hope in the future to be able to spend more time in South America and work wi..."
Jeanette S New Mexico State University
"Going to Spain was the funnest way to learn Spanish and definitely worthwhile. For me it is important as a Hispanic American to know where I've come, and learning Spanish not only is useful but an important aspect of my culture. One of the amazing things about learning Spanish abroad was learning not only about the Spanish cult..."
Christiana H New Mexico State University
"Yes study abroad was worth while. I learned there language even thou i am not that good yet i enjoyed it. I gained many different views from Fukuoka. And not a single negative thought. They would always be positive. The only thing I can probably say is in this program you learn a lot and the Japanese teachers are really nice and..."

"Studying abroad has open my eyes and made me aware of other countries. I have found that the USA has a boxed it self in and people are unaware of things that are going on around in other countries. It was a very good opportunity to get to experience a new culture and there thought process. And most of all making new friends that..."
elizabeth s New Mexico State University
"The study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. It has had a very strong impact on my cultural awareness. While I have moved around a lot and seen the different cultures within America, America does not have a strong sense of culture as compared to some countries, like Japan, and it was absolutely amazing to see it and to..."
Gelsey B New Mexico State University
"I believe the more you travel and the more cultures that you understand the better your world view is. This kind of understanding only comes from actually living in that country and embracing their culture. I think the biggest differences I have seen is the impact of collectivism vs individualism. Spain is a country who's cult..."
Neyma F New Mexico State University
"While I was disappointed with my classes at the institution, I believe that had more to do with the too-large classes and the non-specialized teaching. However, Barcelona is a beautiful city, and I completely recommend the location. Outside of the classroom, it was an amazing experience. And the program has great tour guides a f..."
Simone D New Mexico State University

Hannah B New Mexico State University
"This trip was worth every penny. Not only did expand my ability to speak Spanish, but I was able to make new friends who live in Costa Rica. I was able to experience a different life which made me even more curious about the world. And I will be a more confident explorer after my experience with CPI."
