Caitlin C Stephen F. Austin State University
"I learned so many things by studying abroad. Before traveling, my views of the world were narrowed and influence by the American culture. I had no idea that things could be so different. This try taught me to learn to relax, be accepting of others who may be different than I am, and to be open to new ideas. It was definitely wor..."
Felicia M Stephen F. Austin State University
"I gained first-hand knowledge about European political culture that I could have never learned from reading a textbook.

Kathryn L Stephen F. Austin State University
"Being in a different culture and experiencing the culture first hand was amazing. I was able to see so many amazing places that I never would have had I not gone on the trip.

"The trip was worthwhile! I had been wanting to visit Spain for about 7 years now and it was exactly what I had hoped. I loved living with a host family, and I miss my host mother to this day. At times it did get very difficult to constantly speak the language, and the locals were more than willing to help! I loved Spain and I wo..."

"This was definitely a worthwhile experience. Dr. Armstrong is beyond amazing. He has changed my life and how I will view the world.

"Since the class was all about culture I believe that this was one of the best programs to go on and learn about culture. The culture is so diverse in Costa Rica that while you were traveling you didn't know how the culture would be in that region, and that was a fun surprise."
