"My study abroad program increased my cultural awareness and taught me that people across the world share basic hopes and desires. This experience increased my love for Latin America and for history, and made me want to travel throughout all of Central and South America. "
Jennifer D The University of Texas at Austin
"My knowledge of the Western Balkans and Turkey was not much, thus this program taught me a whole lot about the region and the problems that prevent them from entering the EU. I am now more interested in the future of these countries and how the EU may improve their conditions. "
Susana B The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwile. I would never change one minute of it for the world. Although, everything wasn't perfect, looking back, I realized that it couldn't possibly have been better. I learned so much about myself and how I perceive the world. It has improved my cultural awareness. I would like to in..."
Hilary H The University of Texas at Austin
"YES YES YES a thousand times YES! I came back a more independent, confident and just more globally aware human being and without studying abroad I could never have said that. "
Madeline W The University of Texas at Austin
"I am a much more confident person now and I have also learned how to deal with all sorts of people and difficult situations. I grew up a lot in the five months I was in Brazil, and though it was often VERY trying I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Alejandra S The University of Texas at Austin
"absolutely "
Geoffrey K The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about the Spanish culture, and the language that I now I feel more prepared to go back some day and live in Spain. The internship helped me assimilate into the culture and make friends so that I did not feel alone in the foreign country. "
Alejandra H The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the absolute best time of my life, and I wouldn't change a second of it, or dream of having gone to a different program. I am a completely different person than I was when I left, and would go back to Erfurt at any given possible opportunity."
Shana M The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was amazing. This experience encourages me to travel to see the rest of the world, and appreciate America!"

Matthew C The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes it was completely worth the money for the people that I met, the experiences I had, the places I saw, and the life long friends that I made."
Claire J The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was life changing, though after returning to the United States, it is still unclear how many different complex changes the experience has instilled in me. Traveling and studying abroad, above all, helps you realize what it means to live in and be a citizen of your own country. It forces you to consider..."
Keller P The University of Texas at Austin
"yes"
Jeffrey S The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. I learned so much more by living in Serbia and traveling to Kosovo, Bosnia, and Croatia than I could have in any course or book. Having the opportunity to design and conduct my own research project was also invaluable. I learned how challenging and rewarding fieldwork can be and was able to create original research o..."
Julieta C The University of Texas at Austin
"Study abroad introduced me to a set of friends and like-minded individuals who greatly enriched my global learning and awareness. I've come back to the United States with a greater understanding of a lot of issues ranging from food politics to environmentalism to sociocultural relations. I've been able to completely change the w..."
Ronak P The University of Texas at Austin
"I'm glad to have an understanding of how another culture works. I wasn't a big fan of the States before I left, but spending time in Spain made me more aware of what I do like about living here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spain, but I sorely missed my job as a counselor at Camp Longhorn the entire time that I was there."
Caroline V The University of Texas at Austin
"Better language skills, independence"
Maureen K The University of Texas at Austin

Lindsay M The University of Texas at Austin
"my cultural awareness and confidence grew exponentially. I am more confident and excited to travel the world and learn more. I don't feel like I have to stay in my little bubble in Texas any more. I know there is so much more out there that I can explore. "
sandra p The University of Texas at Austin
"It was definitely worthwhile. I will never regret it for the rest of my life. I wish I had gone for an entire year because when I was leaving I was just then really starting to feel like a local. I think it is at that moment when one is able to truly understand what it means to live outside of the US, to grow up in a country, cu..."
Jessica M The University of Texas at Austin

"I made amazing, life-long friends and I learned a lot about different people."

"Studying abroad in Chile opened my eyes to so many things. It really helped me grow as a person and has definitely shaped my future career plans.
