"Eye opening experience that strengthened my understanding of interactions between culture, economies, and governments. Definitely a lasting impact on my global perspective."
A student New York University
"I learned so much about myself, other students my age, and the culture of Portugal. I learned about teaching and about health services. Every single day I learned something new."
Isabella S New York University
"I was able to live in an amazing city while getting job experience. The staff at ACD are extremely helpful and friendly with students, becoming friends with them rather than simply teaching. I made some great friends from the school and throughout the city."
A student New York University

Meagan D New York University
"30 is the new 20 and interning abroad is the new study abroad. I am glad I made the decision to intern abroad and not study. My internship has helped me to grow on a professional front and now I have something great to put on my resume and even something better to talk about while on interviews."
Maria R New York University
"My experience was worthwhile to say the least. I learned German at a much faster rate than I was in the U.S. and fell in love with an amazing city while meeting a lot of new and interesting people."
A student New York University
"I learned that the world is more accessible than I thought it was. I learned that I am capable of exploring and traveling on my own, and I learned just how independent I really can be. My experience has inspired me to travel more, as often as time and money allows! It was worth more than I could have ever imagined! "
Heather L New York University
"Musically the Ewe traditions of drumming and dancing are at the core of music in its oldest form. On a experiential level this 3-weeks of immersion will change you deeply and open your eyes. "
Katherine B New York University
"I have become more aware of enjoying life, making sure to relax a little bit every day and not worry so much. It is hard to maintain the values that I did while in Ghana, since New York life can be so overbearing. But I am confident that the values instilled in me on the Ghana trip will always be there, since the lessons I learn..."

Maura G New York University
"I loved everything about Buenos Aires and the Mente Argentina Semester Program. My shared apartment in Palermo was one of the best parts and I could not imagine a better study abroad experience (I also participated in a part-time internship arranged through Mente). Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and it was the perfect place ..."

"It absolutely made me grow as a person and I truly immersed myself in another culture. I am more aware and my social perceptions have been broadened. I had the best time."
elizabeth g New York University
"It was by far the most formative part of my undergraduate experience. I made the best friends, learned the most, and realized a vocational interest in international economics. I cannot recommend this program enough. "
Alana M New York University
"I was able to confront a lot of stereotypes, both about Americans and about the Caribbean lifestyle. I occasionally have to defend my study abroad program to others, because it certainly was academically challenging, as well as in a beautiful environment. Like I said, I'll be going back to school partly because of how SFS inspir..."
