No important dates configured."I've learned much more about being a global citizen and also about myself."
Anna P Pacific Lutheran University
"This experience was absolutely worthwhile. While some aspects- like housing and food- were a bit of a shock compared to what I may have expected, it was all part of the 'adventure' for me and I loved every minute of it. Becoming submersed in the New Zealand culture, and making countless new friends while experiencing a completel..."
Erica B Pacific Lutheran University
"Anytime you are forced to go out and put yourself out there you learn a lot about yourself. Studying away is definitely worth it."
Jackson M Pacific Lutheran University
"I learned so much about myself. It was my first time out of the United States, so it was an incredible experience to learn about another culture. My eyes were opened to an entirely different way of life, which I think is so necessary for our generation."
Alyssa J Pacific Lutheran University
"There are so many health and human rights improvements that need to be made all over the world, but even in some of the poorest places in India we saw that there is hope and people working toward change and I'm learning how I fit into contributing to making a positive and sustainable difference in my community and those aboard."
Caroline O Pacific Lutheran University
"NEVER again will I look at a group of people from another place on earth and think to myself, "there must be nothing we have in common." There is always something that binds people together I've discovered. I think that's a powerful feeling."

Mariam R Pacific Lutheran University

Caitlyn J Pacific Lutheran University
"My study away experience really changed my future plans completely. I have an entirely new awareness and perspective on social justice issues in Mexico and Latin America and the impact that our own US policies have on Latin America. I am so much more sensitive to the issue of immigration now, and I hope to end up working on chan..."
Alissa H Pacific Lutheran University
"There were challenges and things I wish had been different, but that's just the way life is. Norway, Hamar, Hedmark, the program were all just simply wonderful. There is always room for improvement, but I would urge interested people to go with my whole heart and I would go back at the drop of a dime. "
Catherine C Pacific Lutheran University
"I loved this program and the opportunity to learn and participate in a new culture. I was offered a job in South Africa working in the clinic I did my ISP with and I would love to go back. After learning about Community health I am excited about Nursing school, where as before I was hesitant to start. I learned first hand abou..."

"I am infinitely more informed on Italian politics, food, culture, history, sports, people, immigration, and the list goes on and on. I have become more Independent, an accomplished cook, bilingual,and a more outgoing person in general. I thank the Milan program for helping me become who I now am."
Tyler W Pacific Lutheran University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I learned things that I never expected about living in other parts of the world. Understanding other cultures and how similar the most different places are to home. I met people from all over the world and some just from Seattle. The people are the best part, the friends are unforgettable and have changed ..."
Kathryn G Pacific Lutheran University
"This experience was very worthwhile. I was able to gain a sense of different perspectives from people which I thought really enhanced my learning experience. It has definitely raised my cultural awareness and help me appreciate the value of other cultures. There is without a doubt that I'll be back some day."
Stephen S Pacific Lutheran University
"The program was worth it. personally for me the program did not push me outside my comfort zone, but this is dependent upon past international experience. The field trips were by far the best part of the program. We were able to see so much of the country and it makes me want to travel more within my home state/country. I must c..."
Jihan G Pacific Lutheran University
"This program has changed me from a Communication major to a Chinese Studies major. It has made me want to pursue a masters at Beijing University. I have become an devout student of Chinese culture!"

"Any study abroad experience is worthwhile. It is invaluable and I am still in process of what I gain from it. I know though that with my three semesters abroad I have changed for the better."
Eric B Pacific Lutheran University
"It was worthwhile, but I think my study focus would've been better at another program."
Kaitlyn D Pacific Lutheran University
"It was worthwhile but when I reached Denmark I realized that it didn't fit my personality at all. It really felt like the only kind of social interaction I could have with other students was to go out at night and drink. That is not what I like to do so it was hard to interact with people my age. Not anybody else's fault othe..."
Kelsey H Pacific Lutheran University
"YES my study abroad experience in Oaxaca was worthwhile!!! I believe the biggest impact this trip made on me is that I found self confidence I never knew I had before. I had to interact with people on a daily basis in a language that is not my native tongue. I had to step outside of my comfort zone on numerous occasions, and do ..."
Paris C Pacific Lutheran University
"I'm going to live in Valpo."
