"I believe I understand how the United States fits into the rest of the world much more than I did before. I think I changed much more as an individual than I expected.

Adam S Providence College
"It was a great experience, the only thing is that i wish that i could have taken classes that would have counted towards my major. Also though ireland is a lot of fun it is quite difficult to visit other countries because of the distance not only to the the country itself but you have to put on an extra 3 hours to get to the air..."
Andrew G Providence College

Cara O Providence College
"I studied journalism even though I focus on literature studies at school. The program both increased my interest in journalism and proved to me that I can pursue it as a career. I also became much more interested in world cultural studies and politics."
Jorge L Providence College
"Studying abroad connected me with many students my age that have similar experiences even though they are from different cultures in the USA.

Besides the language experience I gained while I was abroad I learned how to be comfortable with myself and became more confident in a leadership role and as a representative of both my college and country. It def..."
Kyla H Providence College
"Going abroad has made me very independent, and more worldly. I got to see and do so many things I thought I would never see or do. I learned that open mindedness will get you very far, and in another country the best thing to do is whatever the natives do. Unlike most people, I had interest in teaching abroad when I graduated co..."
