A student The Catholic University of America

Suzanna D The Catholic University of America

Deirdre M The Catholic University of America
"The study abroad trip to Paris was probably the best decision I've made in my college career. It was a way to see the world and understand how other cultures handle academic challenges. I already knew before going that I wanted to move to Paris, and now that I have a general idea of the city, I have no fears of moving there."
Marguerite R The Catholic University of America

Nicole L The Catholic University of America

"My experience was worth more than I expected it to be. I learned the world is bigger, better, and more mysterious than you could ever learn from a book."
Elizabeth W The Catholic University of America
"I thoroughly enjoyed my study abroad experience in Barcelona. I would not trade the experiences I had for anything. I feel that I returned from Barcelona with a greater knowledge of the Spanish culture and with another glimpse at the outside world. The time I spent abroad influenced me to want to spend more time abroad in the fu..."
Elizabeth C The Catholic University of America
"I was so scared to study abroad because I get extremely homesick. Adjusting to my home school (Catholic University) was a nightmare for me freshman year of college, but this experience abroad was different. I met kids who were more like me in my Arcadia program, and I was able to have a fun, adventurous semester. I worked hard..."
Marian H The Catholic University of America
"I have changed for the better after studying abroad. I am more cultured and have an appreciation for those with different backgrounds than me. I loved Italy. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and can not wait to go back some day. "
Dana T The Catholic University of America
"I definetely learned about myself and met great people I will be friends with for a long time. I feel as if I always have a place to go to in Dublin."
Justine G The Catholic University of America
"Study abroad experience was completely worthwhile, I was just not a fan of the program. I liked the faculty but there wasn't much else to it. I loved, loved, the people I interned with in the Dail, that was a great experience, but I wish they put us out more into the Irish culture. "
Alyssa L The Catholic University of America
"It was incredible and allowed me to make friends from almost every continent on Earth. Salamanca was amazing. "
Natalia S The Catholic University of America
"I gained the ability to look at my own culture more objectively. A lengthy visit in a city with which I had already visited a few times helped to confirm that I would like to live there in the future. I am now working on applying for a postgraduate course in Belfast and preparing to move there permanently."
