Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."No matter what program you choose, India will reach into you and leave its mark. My experience taught me so much about Indian culture, history, and society, as well as the qualities of empathy and open-mindedness. My travels were integral to my understanding of India as my own personal heritage and as a major global presence. "
Priya C Sarah Lawrence College
"yes"
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned an infinite amount of new things while abroad, many things that I probably don't even notice on a day-to-day basis. I learned to be patient with myself and others and I finally got a chance to understand being a REAL outsider. I also gained a lot of self-confidence in standing up to people, as regular confrontation is ..."
Anna Q Sarah Lawrence College
"I had no idea that love could be oozing out of culture and its people. I really had no idea. I still (admittedly) choke up about the love I felt in every single moment in and out of school. It's really indescribable what this experience meant to me. I was never happier in my life. The culmination of everyone behind the Sara..."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned how much I could work, how hard I could work, and how well I could balance work with play. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Ilana M Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned to live on my own. I learn how to speak the language daily without the fear of messing up. It was one of the best experiences in my life. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I definitely learned what I took for granted in my own country, but also greatly appreciated what was in Italy that was not back home. I acquired a new perspective being a part of an entirely different lifestyle, and I felt relatively integrated by the end of the study abroad experience."
Natasha Y Sarah Lawrence College
"It was definitely worthwhile. It's too much to sum up in a few words, but it's so important to just go an live some place different."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned an amazing amount about myself and what I want from life as well as just how much I can actually accomplish all on my own because I really was all alone at the start of the year. I also gained an appreciation for just how widely diverse our world is even in a country like England where they speak the same language. I ..."
Chelsea F Sarah Lawrence College
"Completely worthwhile! I became much more assertive and confident in what I want to study. Being at Oxford meant being around people whose passion and love for what they do is not only tangible but contagious. It was incredibly refreshing to meet people like that and inspire in me a similar attitude that has already begun to gui..."
Stephanie H Sarah Lawrence College
"Yes."
Jason M Sarah Lawrence College
"That every challenge (no matter how challenging) should be seen as an opportunity! "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"If you are thinking of applying to Oxford, please don't hesitate! If you are passionate about your academic work, if you want to grow as an intellectual and as a person, if you want to use the UK as your home base to travel inexpensively throughout Europe, if you want to be a part of one of the best colleges in the university, a..."
SLC2013 Sarah Lawrence College
"It was more than worthwhile. Like every study abroad student, I would like to say life-changing, and stick with it no matter how cheesy it sounds. The French academic system, at least as regards their approach to art history, really helped me to ground my academic work and not stray so much into theory. My life outside of school..."
Deborah L Sarah Lawrence College
"My experience was only worthwhile in the fact that it taught me to appreciate my life in the US, and to not take my life there for granted. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"Academics and yes"
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned and gained way too much to write in a survey. Friends, experiences, understanding, another city to call my own. It was fantastic."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"of course! i made lifelong friends, as well as learned a lot about myself. I also know a lot about Irish culture, which is nice :)"
Anne S Sarah Lawrence College
"It was not worthwhile for me. I know a few people who really enjoyed themselves. It depends on the individual and the intensity of their previous experiences. Whether or not a student enjoys their time their depends on the other students "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I gained more confidence in myself and my abilities as a theater maker, the knowledge to help me continue improving, and the absolute time of my life. It was certainly, without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made."
Jack P Sarah Lawrence College
"This trip was more than worthwhile. It truly changed my life and the way I view the world. I highly recommend studying for the entire year. Florence is so complex that it cannot even be partially grasped in a year abroad, but a year is far better than a semester. I met so many wonderful people here. I grew as both a young adult ..."
Corie M Sarah Lawrence College
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about the Italian culture, although I did feel very alien to it. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I gained confidence and a broader sense of the world."
Beryl K Sarah Lawrence College

A student Sarah Lawrence College
"In a country rapidly westernizing, I learned that people with less concern for objects have happier lifestyles. "
