"So worthwhile!! I improved my Spanish immensely and got a great sense of Latin American realities I could never get at home in a classroom plus I made some amazing friends!"
Elise M The University of Texas at Austin
"I mean it had it's up and downs, but it was a definite worthwhile experience."
Thongvilay N The University of Texas at Austin
"I became much more independent from this time abroad. Spending a whole year away from home is a much different study abroad experience than most people will have; you truly feel like a part of the community while still holding on to your American roots. My German definitely improved, but I know if I would have made more of an ..."
SImone S The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned to be more understanding of others, open minded, and just continued to expand my borders. It was definitely worthwhile. I know this exchange and internship experience will help my network, language skills, and future job prospects. Pieces of my reviews may have been a bit harsh, but that is just due to my high level..."
Saul T The University of Texas at Austin
"Very worthwhile, I became more cultural and worldly and open to new experiences and ways of life."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was worthwhile in that I traveled out of England as much as possible, which was relatively easy since it's so close to the continent. I learned that I really don't like living in England."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"People are just people no matter where you go, even living in a completely different culture I still felt like I could easily fit into this part of the world if I were to live here permanently. I saw so many beautiful landscapes and scenery that I will never forget. It was 100% worthwhile."

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I honestly loved it there. Comparing to Austin, it is such a lively city. You don't really need to drive because of their convenient subway system. And you could literally just walk out of your house, walk a block away and there would be restaurants lined up. No need to drive just to find food. "
Jennie P The University of Texas at Austin
"I made my best friend in another country."
jessica b The University of Texas at Austin
"How to live in a culture other than your own, absolutely worthwhile"
Samantha G The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned patience and tolerance. Many people gave me their time and helped me when they didn't have too. I was an inconvenience to people but still they helped me. I will do the same for others. "
nicholas b The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I went into the semester thinking I was going to love it and not want to come home. And that's exactly how I felt at the end. I gained so much more independence and confidence from my travels and studies that I feel a lot more prepared to enter the "real world" post graduation. I also learned how to..."

"It was worthwhile."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile, but I can't put into words all that I took from this experience. "
Laura P The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to be the same person in every situation. It can be hard adapting to life in a new place, and sometimes you feel really awkward,but it makes you stronger in the end and teaches you a lot about who you really are."
Brionne G The University of Texas at Austin
"I became more social and open and made lifelong friendships. I also traveled to countries that I had only dreamed about visiting! I had lived abroad before but it was completely different being alone in a student environment than with my parents. Now I am considering doing a master´s degree in Europe because I love living there ..."
Josephine W The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the best semester i had for so many other reasons than school. I learned so much about myself and the world outside of my US bubble. IT was so worthwhile and I remember and treasure it forever!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Honestly, I gained a better knowledge of myself and my abilities to adapt and enjoy any sort of situation. So worthwhile!"
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Safety skills, budgeting skills, language skills "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Every moment was worth it. It is incredible to think of my time living in Copenhagen, experiencing the culture, meeting new people, and adapting to the European way of life. I gained travel experience, confidence, appreciation for the simple things, new friendships, a brighter outlook on the future and over all I think I reall..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"The trip was one of if not the most important experience of my life. Beyond seeing new places, making new friends, and speaking a new language, I gained a new self-awareness during my time abroad. By constantly pushing and testing myself in what I could do, I feel like I have returned an adult with the emotional, physical, menta..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that engineering is the same no matter what country you are from, just the methods of testing your comprehension a little different. Totally worth while. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned much more about financial independence and planning for trips (spring break was both one of the most stressful and most wonderful vacations I've ever been on). I also learned more about international policies and politics and how they compare to America's. Overall it was most definitely a worthwhile trip."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learne a lot about myself and my goals for the future. "
