"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."

"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..."

"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..."

"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..."

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..."

"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..."
