"A new understanding of the world and a new love for Classics. The people I met, food I ate, and memories I made opened my eyes and humbled me in a way that staying in Austin could not have. It is hard to put into words, but I feel I have grown as a person from my experience abroad."
Ryan Gomillion The University of Texas at Austin
"I think I grew up on this program. You learn how to handle yourself in a variety of diverse environments. It helped me become more confident, more self-assured and it will definitely give you a better perspective on what it means to be a global citizen and will give you a more objective view of American culture. "
Matthew Wills The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned some korean. Not enough to have a basic conversation, but it was enough to get by. I struggle a lot with speaking different languages due to my speech impediment, so I am pleased at the amount of korean I've learned. I also learned about some cultural customs that helped me show respect to the locals and immerse into t..."

Connor Carter The University of Texas at Austin
"Aside from "gaining a different perspective" about the world, I was able to make a lot of memories in Seoul. For the first time, I learned what it was like to live far away from home and have to rely on myself more than ever, especially in a place that I didn't know the language. I had to teach myself to get by and I relied on m..."
Roger Ybarra The University of Texas at Austin
