Important Dates and Deadlines

"The last 6 weeks have been amazing. They have changed my life and I now want to move to Spain with in the next 3-4 years and live there. It was an amazing time. Although many people had both positive and negative experiences, different cultures create different people which isn't bad. Overall, it was amazing!"

"This program made me want to change my major to art. I learned a great deal simply from practicing painting everyday and I believe my skills have improved a great deal. Even though I'm not very satisfied with how the course was taught, I do believe it was beneficial for me because I chose to make it so. All the time spent alone ..."

Noelle B SUNY - Binghamton
"It was the most worthwhile thing in the world. The best quality I got from it is patience. In Italy, things move at a much slower pace. Usually, I move pretty fast. I have never been considered a patient person and I get antsy when things take to long. However, spending a month in Italy has taught me to just go with the flow and..."

Joseph C SUNY - Binghamton
"I learned a lot about myself as I was forced to be completely dependent on myself while in Spain. However, I wish I had been able to speak Spanish more to the locals and interact more directly with them to learn their culture. I felt it was too much time with just Americans in the group. "

"The study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile though given the chance, I would have applied through Florida State University instead of Binghamton. The program was great, it was the school I went through that really seemed to drop the ball. "

"Yes, it was very worthwhile. For so long now I have wanted to go to Madrid and I finally was able to accomplish that goal. I learned about the culture in Spain and how it differs slightly from the different autonomous communities. Madrid was an amazing place that I cannot wait to see again."
Steven S SUNY - Binghamton
"I learned so much from being abroad. It was the best time of my life. It's crazy to think about how just overseas, people live differently. Just experiencing a new culture made me experience my own culture as well as embrace Spain's culture. "

"I learned much about tropical ecology. This trip was a life changing experience. I have always seen rainforests on documentaries, but this was a much more visceral experience which has helped shape my world view. I now wish to integrate the complexities of tropical ecology of my own field of systems biology and bioengineering..."

"I loved my study abroad program. The six weeks I spent there were some of the best weeks of my life, and they changed me as a person in terms of how I interact socially.

"I would not give up the experience I had for anything. Being in an amazing city like Istanbul has really changed me. I have never seen so much culture, history, and beauty in one place. I feel much more mature for having fully experienced another culture other than my own, expecially one that is so different in every aspect. Bei..."
