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 things about myself, the people around me, and the world in general. This summer I saw how a lot of puzzle pieces fit together in conservation biology. I had some amazing nature related experiences in swimming with animals I have never seen before. I am very grateful we spent so much time in the water scuba diving and ..."

"If I could do it all over again, I would choose DIS in a heartbeat! I am considering interning there after graduation because i've enjoyed the way they teach there so much and how they choose to see and portray the world in classes. I studied the most abstract courses while there, but was taught how to actually apply what I wa..."
Lindsey B Trinity University
"Without a doubt one of the best if not THE best decision I've ever made in my life. I improve my people skills and was also able to learn how to overcome language barriers."
A student Trinity University
"With a new culture comes a completely different way of thinking. Rather than judge someone based on your views try and understand why they believe what they believe."
A student Trinity University
"I learned to be more flexible and go with the flow, because a lot of things can go wrong in Africa and you have to be patient, especially when traveling in a group of 30+ people. It was a great experience that was definitely worthwhile and taught me a lot about myself and the world around me."
A student Trinity University
"I loved the exposure I got to the Western Balkans and the EU. This program was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Trinity University
"I gained a newfound sense of confidence and independence. I am somewhat shy, and this experience truly pushed me out of my comfort zone at times, even though I was in an English-speaking country. Although I was only there for seven weeks, I can tell that I have become stronger and more confident from it. I am planning on studyin..."

"Cultural and corporate maturity and knowledge, long lasting and close friendships, and great adventures and experiences."
Stephen C Trinity University
"I wanted something really particular from my study abroad experience - serious math, in English, in a very foreign city, where I live as independently as possible. I got that from BSM, and more. It was definitely worthwhile. The most important thing I learned - more math."
Courtney C Trinity University
"This program was definitely worthwhile. Besides gaining language skills, I was exposed to several ways of living, and word visions that I had never seen before, which challenged me to look at my own lifestyle. I also gained a very close relationship with my first host family that I foresee continuing in the future. Finally, the ..."

"It was incredibly worthwhile! My Spanish improved quite a bit, I met amazing people, and it sounds cliché, but I gained a lot of confidence living outside of my comfort zone. "
A student Trinity University
"1. I learned from my experience that listening is worth more than just talking for its own sake. Taiwanese people usually do not express their affection and kindness verbally, they do so through what they do for you. Many times, my friends even if they cannot offer good advice, still listened to me. Sometimes, acts of kindness ..."

Kevin K Trinity University
"I cannot even begin to fully evaluate how my time in Jordan with SIT changed my life. But to try and summarize, I gained a new sense of perspective on the world and life in general. I was given the opportunity to experience a place that not many Americans often travel too. A new love was fostered for the people there and a new o..."
Maegan M Trinity University
"I learned a lot about the privileges and freedoms I previously took for granted in the United States. I learned about the importance of leaving your comfort zone in order to learn more about your own values. I feel so privileged to have had this experience to go abroad and I would encourage every student to seize the opportunity..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned so much about other people and how they live. I gained people who I know are going to be some of my best friends for a long, long time. It was incredibly worth while. However, one thing that I did notice is that there were some other people who didn't seem to have as positive an experience as I did, though they were gi..."
Paige C Trinity University
"I learned about myself, I learned to be independent and it was the most worthwhile experience I have ever had. "
A student Trinity University
"I feel so much more independent and self-sufficient. Also, my confidence in my language skills really shot up, as well as my hesitation in speaking it. "
Helen F Trinity University
"I learned about Israeli culture, basic skills in archaeology, and how to live with a tight-knit group of people. Yes, it was very worthwhile. "
A student Trinity University
"I learned what it was like living in a completely different country. It has opened my eyes to get out of bubble that can be comfortable in America. It was very worthwhile"
A student Trinity University
"It was definitely worthwhile "
Sara R Trinity University
"I learned a lot about how I want to live my life. The Italians live to be happy, while I feel that Americans frequently get caught up in being productive and efficient."
Ashley L Trinity University
"I learned so much about myself going abroad. I thought I was independent before I came to London, but after being in London and not really knowing anyone it forced me to really do a lot of things on my own and make new friends. I have travelled to so many different places by myself and with other people. I wish I was staying ..."
