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.

"The most valuable thing I gained on this trip was a great insight into my own life and perspectives. I learned a lot about my heritage, but more importantly, I learned about myself. I learned more about who I am and where I stand in society. I made a lot of great friends abroad, and meeting people from all over the world in Beij..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to manage my own money, to find my way and read maps, to keep myself safe while still being able to make friends, and to generally be more independent. I would consider those things very worthwhile."
A student Trinity University
"Yes, both cultural immersion and language skills that helped open my mindset to a different way of life."
Thomas P Trinity University
"I learned a lot about Australian history and culture. The program focused on environmental action and was very personal and encouraging. Unfortunately, being an environmental studies major, I didn't feel like I was learning a lot of new information. The independent research project was challenging and empowering. "
Carina H Trinity University
"I have a much higher sense of self-confidence and I know that I can handle almost any situation. I also learned that I can meet new people and get along with them just fine. I learned a lot about myself and have grown as a person which is always a good thing. It was absolutely worthwhile. "
Ailie V Trinity University
"I learned a lot about Spain and Catalunya in particular and a lot about independence. I would do it all over again! And again, and again...."
A student Trinity University
"Falling in love with Quito was worth every bit of heartache along the way and every bit of heartache afterwards. As cheesy as it may sound, I learned a lot about myself - about who I am and about what my place in the world may be. A few months in, I had the revelation that I will always be Me, no matter where I am. Moving to a p..."
Brooke G Trinity University
"I learned more about myself, others, other cultures, how to live on my own, how to balance my new social life, a different language, etc. It was so worthwhile and I want to go back! "
Liza H Trinity University
"I learned how to relax and value what is actually important in life. Chileans have a way of investing their time in things that are actually important, like food and family. I had the opportunity to make many close and wonderful chilean friends and to travel with them and visit their homes and families after the program, and fr..."

"I learned a lot about what it's like to live and experience a different culture. I've been abroad on vacation several times, but this was the first time I've spent such a long period of time abroad. I got to experience the city, the country, and the culture in a totally different way."
A student Trinity University
"There is absolutely nothing like living abroad. I had so much fun traveling and meeting the locals. Learning about a new culture from the people that live it every day is the best way to experience it. "
A student Trinity University
"The trip was an extremely worthwhile experience: I learned about China, and I learned more Chinese than I ever could at home. The experience taught me that I would not want to live in China permanently, but that staying in China even once is a necessary component to knowing the culture and the language."
Julia S Trinity University
"Amazing. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about travel and using public transportation, both being important life skills. And I learned about good coffee."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to take care of myself in the hardest of times, especially with no help from the program. I became much more self-sufficient. I learned a lot about the Italian culture - far more than I expected to. It was worthwhile for the friendships I made and the things I learned, but I would never pick the same program again...."
Kimberly T Trinity University
"I learned about authentic english culture rather than the urbanized version of it. The classes were interesting, but the breaks in between while travelling Europe taught me about how to travel, different cultures, and also living by yourself. "
hannah z Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself, how I handle challenges and change, I think it was definitely a worthwhile experience."
Jessica P Trinity University
"I learned independence, confidence, the importance of making mistakes, open-mindedness."
A student Trinity University
"There's a reason why there's over 7 billion on this planet and not a single match of fingerprints. Everyone is different, so you should expand out of your bubble and discover what's out there. You'll be surprised to see just how intertwined the world really is. If I were to call this experience worthwhile, that would be one of t..."
Oluwamayowa A Trinity University
"Spanish language skills, new friends, broader culture and understanding, memories of beautiful places and peoples. Absolutely it was."
A student Trinity University
"How to expand my horizons and take risks."
Michael V Trinity University
"This was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life. I learned how to allow myself time to appreciate life, how to live in the moment, how to learn with stress, how to talk to strangers, and how to make a home in a foreign city. I learned how to slow down and appreciate simpler things in life. I learned to take life ..."
Elizabeth V Trinity University
"I have never been to Europe, so the emphasis on travel helped me gain an appreciation for international culture. I learned HOW to travel from country to country, how to blend in just enough to not be targeted, how to navigate big cities, and how to say just enough words in each language to be able to communicate with locals. It ..."
