"knowledge. customs and people. tradition"
Chantel B The University of Texas at Austin
"I think it was worthwhile because it helped me get an outlook on life outside of America, as well as improve my Spanish."
Selby J The University of Texas at Austin
"This experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself, and got to make lots of friends. I got a chance to be more outgoing and to enjoy a different culture."
Jonathan L The University of Texas at Austin
"Very much so. The U.S. appears different from the time I left, and I appreciated my Mexican culture much more. I need to explore the Earth before I go."
Jose N The University of Texas at Austin
"I want to live in Istanbul for some period of time, coming back to the US was like coming off a sugar high, you have such a continuous rush of energy and excitement and then when it's all over you kind of have a depressed mood because now everything seems boring."
Funda S The University of Texas at Austin
"yes"
Kellye W The University of Texas at Austin
"I grew up"
Carly V The University of Texas at Austin
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I really improved my Spanish and learned a lot about people in general. I feel like I learned a lot about life and culture from my Mama Tica and the other students in my group and even from the professors at the Institute. I plan on making the Spanish language and the Latin culture a bigger part of ..."
Sara B The University of Texas at Austin
"it was worthwhile. i gained the ability of putting my self in an unfamiliar situation with unfamiliar people and having the confidence to live and learn happily."
ashley a The University of Texas at Austin
"It made me aware that I was looking for something in Chile that had very little to do with its reality, more to do with my stereotype of an unknown country."
Wiley J The University of Texas at Austin
"Study Abroad in Paris was one of the most amazing experiences I've had so far. When you go abroad you have this idea of knocking out all the sights and you make a list of all the museums you're going to see. But once you get there you kind of realize that it's not all about sightseeing. It's more about just living there. You..."
Emilie M The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was great. It's definitely one where you decide how much you get out of it. RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO STAY ON FACEBOOK ALL DAY. Go out and see the city, arrange weekend trips to other cities, and you will be amazed at what you can see and do. Puerto Vallarta has a bungee jump and a zoo where you can..."
Holly D The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I've always wanted to stay for an extended period of time in a foreign country so it was perfect for that. It has given me a perspective outside the U.S. that everyone should have. It hasn't changed my future plans."
Kevin R The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was totally worthwhile. I think I learned a lot more about myself and my parents' culture and it made me thankful to have had such great opportunities in the States. "
Suyun H The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. The only regret I have is not opting for a longer program. I learned so much about history, culture and, though cliche, myself. Of course my Spanish improved as well. I loved the city and would love to live there someday. Traveling abroad really allows you to gain a perspectiv..."
Viviana A The University of Texas at Austin
"Spending more than a few months in a foreign country is always worthwhile even if you don't get your credits transferred or you lose money, etc. My above rating is that of my experience with the study abroad program at UT, which actually did little to facilitate or enrich my study abroad experience."
Jennifer L The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was worthwhile. The international coordinators from both schools were incompetent in my opinion, but it was good to have a different learning experience. The library and internet systems were quite frustrating...I had to have a lot of patience!"
Meredith M The University of Texas at Austin
"I thought the trip was amazing, and would do it again in a heartbeat. I was a little dissatisfied with my living arrangement (namely how small it was) but the program was well run, and the advisors overseas were wonderful. I learned a lot, especially in my interactions with other people, and would very much recommend the program..."
Devon B The University of Texas at Austin
"Chinese spoken, listening, and reading ability improved a lot. Made a few real Chinese friends who I will keep in touch with after program ended. Other students are from top universities and mostly very dedicated to Chinese language study. Harbin or other second-tier cities will expose you to a side of China you won't see in Bei..."
Andrew S The University of Texas at Austin
"IT was definately worthwhile and it improved my spanish and cultural awarness. If I decide to go to grad school, somewhere in Spain is at the top of my list. "
Erin R The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes my experience was special and valuable to me. "
Jacob G The University of Texas at Austin
"Traveling without my parents is something I hadn't really done. I am much more confident in myself to get things done and organize things now. Immersing myself in a completely new place was a huge adventure. The friends I made and other people I met along the way totally made the experience for me. I had to be accepting of a new..."
Rebecca B The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved it, I learned the most from people not school. I am more culturally aware, especially about language misunderstandings which then lead to cultural misunderstandings. I am more tolerant. New academic interests and future plans include teaching and researching the ways humans learn languages. Wish I had spoken less Englis..."
Miro C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was a great experience, but I would have enjoyed a bigger city with more engaged professors. The fact that there were so many American students and all the other international students spoke English made it difficult to stick to speaking German. The most important thing I learned was that I love Texas, my home, my friends, an..."
Margaret R The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad facilitated many changes in outlook and awareness, but is probably not the direct cause. I feel that I took advantage of the situation to explore many areas and avoid being a tourist as much as possible. I met many interesting people, had many worthwhile conversations, and has really afforded me the opportunity t..."
