Trinity University
University Information
The Study Abroad program at Trinity University is designed to be accessible and flexible. With proper planning, students from every major can study abroad productively in many different countries around the world as a part of their degree.
This is possible because Trinity's program is based on individually advising each student so that the term abroad becomes an integral part of the degree that meets academic, personal, and professional goals. As a result Trinity students participate in a wide variety of academic experiences abroad from studying in a foreign university classroom to academic internships to intensive language study to field studies - or a some combination of these things.

"I learned that even in my everyday life, I remind myself that everyone is different. When I went to Taiwan, that statement was an understatement because the culture itself was so different. I loved learning about Taiwan's culture, and how it is different from China's culture, and also how similar it is to Korea's culture. "

"Studying abroad made my world bigger. It exposed me to ways of thinking and cultures that I didn't know existed. It forced me to grow, as I was pushed out of my comfort zone. It was totally worthwhile... I wish everyone could do it. "
A student Trinity University
"I think I gained language skills the most. I went to Barcelona knowing no Spanish, but I was able to have conversations right before I left."
Sara V Trinity University
"Learning a new language, culture and how to make several dishes of their delicious food. I learned more about my faith and ancient history. It was totally worthwhile to live amongst not just Italians but Romans and be able to walk amongst the ancient ruins everyday if I wanted to! As well as become friends with several locals ..."

"I learned I was able to live independently much more than I thought I'd be able to. My experience was better than I could have ever hoped for. There was a strong outdoor component that I enjoyed much more than I thought I would, given that I had no previous experience with many of the activities I did"

"One thing that I learned was that history is so much more enjoyable learning about if you are in the topic's origin. "

"Work experience on an international level. Confidence to travel alone and solve problems alone."

"I learned that I can live on my own. It was worthwhile. "
Allison C Trinity University
"I learned so much about French culture and French people. I was surrounded by people who loved to learn the same language as I do and they were just as excited as I was to dive into our studies and life in Grenoble. The people in my program made the trip worthwhile."
Sarah C Trinity University
"I wish I could have had more opportunities to meet locals, outside of the bar/club scenes."
Emily G Trinity University
"Overall, I think that when you study abroad you learn a lot about yourself and what actually makes you happy. You gain ideas about what type of lifestyle will bring you the most joy and contentment in the future. It's a great opportunity to become a more self-sufficient person."
Chase L Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and what it takes to function independently in a strange environment. In addition, I was able to take away a ton about the amazing environment that comes from traveling the world every weekend and seeing tons of different people in their home countries. It was definitely worthwhile."
Stephen D Trinity University
"I learned how to experience other cultures more, and I grew more comfortable being my true self all the time. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself; turns out I am very impatient when traveling and can get very hangry when I haven't had food. I am also more able than I thought, and can figure out how to get through just about anything."

"My experience abroad was extremely valuable and I learned so much about wonderful Middle Eastern culture and history. I think Amman is the best place to immerse yourself in Arabic because of the dialect and location but it isn't necessarily the most exciting. Still, my time was completely worth while, Jordan itself has a lot of ..."

Jasmine R Trinity University
"Going abroad is worthwhile but I did not enjoy the school that I chose, which is unfortunate. However, the IFSA-Butler team were an amazing bunch and they made my study abroad experience so great. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned so much...probably the best semester of my life. Studying in Chile helped so much with my Spanish, opened my mind to learning other cultures, and humbled me big time. It taught me to be confident in myself and my ability figure things out (despite getting lost over and over again). The chileans I met & their culture b..."

"Studying abroad may be the best thing that I have done and will do in my time in school. It was an extremely fun experience, but it also taught me a lot about myself. I never was able to get a good grasp on the language, but it didn't matter, I was able to navigate the city with ease and I learned that I am capable of way more t..."

"My experience was 100% worthwhile. I learned so much and the experience definitely opened my eyes to global issues. I no longer want to be the ignorant American who knows nothing outside of the U.S. "

"I enjoyed being abroad, but being that far from family and friends made me just wanting to go home after 3-4 weeks. "
Kate B Trinity University
"This was honestly a dream come true. I have always wanted to go to Korea, and through this trip I accomplished so many dreams that I never thought would one day come true. I also learned a lot about myself, and that I am stronger than I was before I left. It also made me treasure what I have back at home as well. Korea will fore..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to be on my own, communicate in a foreign country effectively, take responsibility for my actions like when I missed a flight, and take care of myself by going to the doctor and speaking only in Spanish to them because no one else was going to do it for me. I learned that all things pass and get better with time, i..."
