Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."Gel Switzerland was incredible! The faculty was experienced and provided guidance in study preparation and actual WHA attendance (including recommendations of side meetings)when in Geneva. Had chance to tour WHO, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross Museum and GAVI - all extremely worthwhile. I returned home with a much broader vi..."

"I learned a lot about people in general. It was absolutely worthwhile."
A student Shenandoah University
"I gained some lifelong friends, a better me, and the confidence to go forward. It was very worthwhile, but I wish I had been there longer and known how to make the most of it from the start."
A student Shenandoah University

A student Shenandoah University
"The experience was incredibly worthwhile. I learned so much about myself through other people."
Julia H Shenandoah University
"Most of what I learned abroad had nothing to do with academics at all. I learned more about myself and other people. I became a little more spontaneous and outgoing, and I learned how to balance working hard and having a good time. This experience didn't really change any of my plans (because I didn't really have any yet), b..."
Shanti N Shenandoah University
"During my study abroad experience I learned more about myself and the things I enjoy that I may never have taken part in had I not gone abroad. I gained an understanding on the difference between American university life and university life in Ireland; as well as the different family traditions, and historical events. I loved th..."
Elaina L Shenandoah University
"I had a wonderful time, and made the best friends who I am planning to go spend a couple weeks now 2 years later. I loved Scotland, the people were so friendly. In Europe it was so easy to travel cheaply. I also took very interesting classes, film and literature that focused on scottish and british culture. I wish I could have s..."
Jen L Shenandoah University
"It was so worthwhile, I did not know a single person on the ship who was ready to leave. It has changed my life. My future plans are to go to Ghana and Vietnam to orphanages I visited and volunteer to work with them. I had no idea what the world was like, or how small it really is, until I went on SaS. I no longer see myself liv..."
Jen L Shenandoah University
"Yes! The experience of going abroad made me want to travel everywhere! Seeing how other countries live was life changing and over all improved my Spanish greatly."
Megan G Shenandoah University
"My experience was great and it was amazing. I would suggest it to anyone. I learned so much."
Margaret H Shenandoah University
"One thing we had our eyes opened to was the situation between Macedonia and Greece, turmoil-wise. They have semi-similar languages, similar histories, and used to be part of the same country. Currently they are in dispute over if Alexander the Great was Macedonian or Greek. If you tell Macedonians or Greeks that you have been or..."
Christina M Shenandoah University
"My situation with my school made it impossible for me to do a full semester abroad. But the summer was perfect. I was able to do some valuable work towards me degree all while taking in the marvelous Italian culture and lifestyle. Italy gave me an appreciation for some of the things we have here in the states and other times hav..."
Thomas G Shenandoah University
"My study abroad was absolutely worthwhile. Not only did it open my mind to new ideas and experiences, it changed me as a person and made me evaluate what is really important in my life. My trip has inspired me to change some of my career goals. I've always wanted to be the artistic director of my own dance company, now I would l..."
Lauren C Shenandoah University
"Gave me a new perspective and worldview. Made what I have read for years in history books come to life."
Sue O Shenandoah University
"Absolutely! Everything, every study, and discipline overlaps and builds upon the successes or failures of the other."
Victoria F Shenandoah University
"Of course it was worthwhile, although I think it could be much more accessible financially if it were not a GEL program. While it was nice to have the travel arrangements made for us and to have a faculty leader in the airport arriving in Argentina, this could be done away with and everything be far less expensive. The $1500 m..."
Allison K Shenandoah University
"It was so worth while. I've learned so much about another country, another culture as well as about myself and my country. It gives you such perspective to view your own country from the eyes of a different country. I loved every minute of it, and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. "
