"My experience was worthwhile, but not because of my program but because I made the best of everything and took my experience into my own hands. I loved my time abroad. It has definitely improved my cultural awareness. But it did nothing for my academic life, knowledge, or interests. "
Christina V The University of Texas at Austin
"It was fun. Like I said, I felt like it was a bit expensive for what we got. Cultural awareness remains unaffected. I miss my professor Carlos and am sad to return to UT classes, I'm going to continue to learn spanish. I want to go back to Spain asap."
Meghan M The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved my class and I got a great understanding of a country in which I have had a lifelong interest."
Nicole C The University of Texas at Austin
"The best thing about studying abroad is that I was able to truthfully experience Spanish culture and my credits will look great when applying for my MBA!"
Mindie Roxanne B The University of Texas at Austin
"It gave me confidence to explore other parts of the world. I will definitely go back. I wish I would have known we weren't going to have as much time to explore the city, I would have sacrificed more sleep. "
Tava B The University of Texas at Austin
"Traveling abroad is always worth while, and I firmly believe that every student should experience what it is like to study abroad at least once in their life. "Travel, experience—there are education in themselves.""
Molly W The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely worth it, Japan is incredible."
Jeremy B The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about Ghana, Africa and the African American experience! I wanted to learn about social development abroad, but I learned far more than that! I was quickly intrigued by Ghana's rich history and the different yet similar culture. "
Erika G The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I learned how the rest of the world lived, not just the American lifestyle. I learned to relax so much more and also learned how to live without the everyday comforts that I enjoy in the States. You gain so much more confidence and also learn to be an independent adult. Taking this opportunity will be one of the best you..."
Jared H The University of Texas at Austin
"It is shocking to find that the revelations you initially expect to have are replaced by new epiphanies that come by surprise, as you arrive in a place that defies expectation and your preconceptions morph into a newfound understanding (or curiosity to learn more) of a land you had always wished to live for a time. Being a part..."
Bowman M The University of Texas at Austin
"It was just an awesome experience that i would recommend to everyone. Its cool to experience new things and different cultures and seeing so much history. "
Christopher C The University of Texas at Austin
"It was wonderful. I'm so glad I got to come. It has strengthened my future plans in pursuing a career helping to better the environment."
Margaret H The University of Texas at Austin
"Definitely worthwhile. I wouldn't be able to improve my Spanish level as much as I did if I hadn't studied abroad. It was a great time for my personal growth, as it gave me very much time with myself to figure things out--with not very many obligations to worry about. "
Joshua W The University of Texas at Austin
"From day one, this has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It opens your eyes to a completely different part of the world and immerses you in a brand new culture. It's so easy to get caught up in the American way of life, and I believe every student should take the time to study abroad. While in China, I reali..."
Lauren K The University of Texas at Austin
"This was the most incredible journey of my life. Learning and interacting with Ghanaians has greatly increased my cultural awareness of Ghana and West Africa. Conversations with other students about race enhanced understanding between black, white and brown students - I don't think we would be having those discussions in a reg..."
Amie F The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained a lot of knowledge and perspective from this program. I really enjoyed all of the lectures and planned activities, particularly meetings with community members and leaders. The program did not meet my expectation of being physically challenging, nor did it incorporate aspects of public policy and government issues as mu..."
Katherine L The University of Texas at Austin
"Of course it was worthwhile. I have made a ton of friends and wonderful memories. If anything I would try to pick the Tokyo program to see if maybe they can offer a better academic experience."
Euvelester . The University of Texas at Austin
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I am more confident, worldly wise and independent now."
Mary Catherine W The University of Texas at Austin
"I loved study abroad! Best time of my life. I feel like my outlook on America and the rest of the world has drastically changed and I learned so much in classroom, but gained personal experience and knowledge outside of the classroom that money can't buy. It was everything and more than I had hoped for. Every student should do i..."
Kathryn L The University of Texas at Austin
"It was the smartest/best decision I ever made. Everything about it made me a more interesting and worldly person from travelling to the international friends I made. It was the most incredible experience of my life and truly words dont describe it. I wish I could do it again!!"
Suny G The University of Texas at Austin
"nothing really changed, but it has been an amazing experience and i am so glad that i decided to do this. "
tina C The University of Texas at Austin
"My study abroad experience was well worth it! I loved every minute of it. Although at times, I was challenged academically or learning new customs, I wouldn't change it for a second. I learned so much about the idea of home isn't where you live but it's rather the people and attitude you have. Your host family and friends abr..."
Rebecca H The University of Texas at Austin
"I'm going to include a poem for this, "The Men Who Don't Fit In," by Robert Service: There's a race of men that don't fit in, A race that can't stay still; So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, And they climb the mountain's crest; Thei..."
Christopher S The University of Texas at Austin
"A new outlook on me, America, the world, and other people and cultures. "
Philip P The University of Texas at Austin
"I've come to realize how much I love the country and the culture. I am going to pursue a degree related to China and hopefully teach in the future. This semester has been rewarding on many levels for me."
Di C The University of Texas at Austin
