Cecilia C The University of Texas at Austin
"I wish I was back in Nantes right now. I gained so much confidence with my language skills and proved that I can live and travel around other countries alone. I hope to be able to return to France after college to work and continue to speak French."

Savannah C The University of Texas at Austin
"Although I didn't get much out of the language aspect of it, it was still an amazing experience. I loved the Accademia Italiana and the location of the workshops.

"Yes, the experience was amazing.

Rigi P The University of Texas at Austin
"Beyond my disappointment with the program and the homestay situation, the experience itself was invaluable. If my opportunity to live in a foreign country had to be via this program, so be it. Going abroad and adapting to a different lifestyle is life changing and would choose to do it all over again the same way if I had no o..."

Shannon A The University of Texas at Austin
"I wish that my expectations of the students had matched reality. The program itself was very good and rewarding, but the students and their behavior detracted from my experience. I definitely feel like my time in Athens and Greece was worthwhile and I learned a lot and got to do and see things that have changed my life, but I wa..."
Alyssa W The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes! It was very worthwhile. It was challenging, but that is what I signed up for. Everyday I had the opportunity to learn something new and I took advantage of that. My cultural experience impacted how I view Americans. I didn't realize how narcissistic we really are. We aren't the only Americans out there. Learning this made..."
