Jacob F Providence College
"I have become a different person after coming from Paris. I remember thinking I wasn't able to do any of this before my departure, and now look at where I am.

Tracy T Providence College
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. It is difficult even trying to explain the experience because the understandings and qualities that one gains while abroad are numerous.

Megan R Providence College
"DEspite not having the study abroad experience I had wanted, I would still do it the same way not knowing, although if I knew I would change it. I'm glad I had the chance to get out there in the world and have the time to explore for more time than a two week vacation. I see the world in a much bigger picture and see how unique ..."
Natalie M Providence College
"This was the best decision i have ever made in my entire life. I am so thankful that was parents allowed me to do this.

It makes me want to g..."

"completely worthwhile, it didn't really change my future plans or academic interests but it furthered them for sure."
Sarah M Providence College
"Before studying abroad, I had never traveled alone or been to a foreign country where English is rarely spoken. After being in Spain and traveling around Europe/Morocco, I have seen and done things that some people never have the chance to do in their life. Also, I have realized that I definitely am interested in a career that w..."
Michelle B Providence College
"It was the most amazing semester of my life and the program was a perfect match for me. I now have fully realized why I chose Global Studies as my major.

Kimberley S Providence College
"My study abroad experience was unparalleled. I am more open-minded about other cultures and by the end of my experience I felt like a Florentine "local."

Chelsea C Providence College
"I have learned more about myself, become more independent, and made lifelong friends. There's nothing better than losing yourself in a culture and realizing that along the way you've gained so much more than you'd ever thought possible. It's not even possible to explain in words; it really is an event I believe can only be exp..."
