"I learned how to live outside of my comfort zone. In that sense, I feel as if I had learned to live in general. Having to rely on and have faith in yourself to navigate a foreign culture safely matures one drastically. I feel as if Russia made a man out of me. Also, having to actively take advantage of any amount of free time an..."

"Copenhagen was fun and the people are nice, though they may not seem like it at first glance."
Devin J The University of Texas at Austin
"WOW. I got to see some incredible places and experience some amazing people. It was life-changing, worth every penny. Take advantage to go abroad while you have this much time off b/c you won't get this much again until you retire. Travelling before & after the program & taking advantage of CouchSurfing & the Eurail was the best..."
Jose G The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to form meaningful relationships cross-culturally and how to stay flexible and adapt to new situations. This experience also enabled me to find a clearer direction and focus in my life: I want to work in China and get involved with sustainable development. It taught me how important history is shaping and understanding..."
Jennifer R The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to makeover how I think about health and medicine. I loved learning that there was this vast, complicated, and intricate alternative medical system that was considered legitimate and working. It was so different from the American and Western perspective on health, disease, and medicine. I took home a lot that helped ou..."

"I made a lot of friends and learned quite a bit of Japanese for such a short program."

I can say that I learned first-hand knowledge about Japanese culture, after being taught for two years. I definately believe that this t..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin

"I learned to be adaptable, how to integrate myself into another culture and general geography of Europe. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It is only by chance that we were born in certain countries and speaking certain languages. Basing characterization upon us and them only creates further borders. Break the pattern. We are of our own free will to learn, to be critical, and to always better ourselves. Although I returned with a greater anti-American sentiment and..."
