My whole outlook and perspective has changed. ..."

"Studying in Spain has honestly changed my life. I learned more about myself in those five months than I had in the previous 21 years of my life. I am now more outgoing, confident, and open minded. I can see the world through the eyes of others, and not only though the eyes of a middle class American. After studying in Sevill..."

"Speaking about my study abroad experience puts a smile on my face as it brings back so many good memories and fun times.

My internship in London played a significant role in my future plans as it ..."

"I gained a great deal of worldwide banking experience."
Ryan P Providence College
"Yes, the experience was still worthwhile though it was much more academic than experiential learning which is not as effective. Yes, we discussed very interesting and engaging topics and Argentina does indeed have a rich culture, yet there were no debriefings and this often curbs the learning process. I am more interested in wo..."
