"I really enjoyed being in a foreign country and constantly learning something new everyday. After being placed in this situation, I feel more confident in going out and doing something on my own. Unfortunately, I felt like the semester wasn't enough, so I'm planning on returning to teach English after graduation."
Charmaine A The University of Texas at Austin
"No, it set me behind academically and I was extremely unimpressed and disappointed. It has not changed much of my future plans. "
Geera P The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it's the best decision I have ever made. "
Lorri M The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes I learned a lot but I don't think that I would like to live in Paris again nor go to Sciences Po again (say for graduate study)."
Julieta C The University of Texas at Austin
"I found out I've lived a very sheltered life and this gave me the chance to experience new things and learn about entirely new perspectives I never knew existed. I LOVED this experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wish it would continue!! I had a very set plan for my future, but upon my return I no longer feel very i..."
Courtney W The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience was definitely worthwhile. I wish I had stayed for a year and I am already trying to figure out if I have time to study abroad again. This program gave me a lot of insight into the every day lives of Czech citizens and has made me much more interested in language and European history. I am also definitely plannin..."

"Completely worthwhile. I feel like in college you lose yourself amongst the large student bodies and organizations, but I found myself again in Argentina. I'm so grateful for this experience and it will always be one of my greatest memories."
Aftyn B The University of Texas at Austin
"Being in Nantes influenced me to want to come back after college to teach for a year. I learned about the enormous influence that the States have on Europe. I experienced the unifying nature that all people have regardless of the language they speak."
Preston M The University of Texas at Austin

Anna C The University of Texas at Austin

"Same as previous question. "
Erin G The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was more than I had ever imagined it would be. I learned so much about Spain, other cultures, and myself. My spanish definitely improved, and I formed some amazing friendships. I have learned to be open to other cultures and experiences, and will forever remember that two people, no matter what country..."
Carly B The University of Texas at Austin

Giselle Z The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely."
Paul C The University of Texas at Austin
"For how expensive the experience was, I and many of my classmates were extremely unprepared for the situations we were going to expect. Part of this is the fault of the SAO, and part of this is because of the extreme weather conditions we experienced in our study time. I really feel like the SAO could have done a better job plan..."
Elizabeth W The University of Texas at Austin
"Living in China teaches you a lot that I definitely can't even come close to explaining in this little box. If you want to appreciate America, go. If you want to learn Chinese, go. If you want to see a totally different culture that you'll realize isn't so different, go. Just go! "
Ashley S The University of Texas at Austin
"I expanded upon my political understanding of the world considering Canberra is the political heartbeat of Australia. Every embassy is located in Canberra, so it's quite a multicultural city. I learned a lot about Australia's political system and its two major parties and their views. Overall, my academic interests have remained..."
Yasmine A The University of Texas at Austin
