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 did a lot of growing up in Russia. Realized a lot about myself, and found my world views completely changed. Most people chose to study abroad in easy countries where the language is easy and the parties are common. Russia is a country that will challenge you in a way that you have never been challenged before. It will frus..."
Alec L Trinity University
"I learned to constantly push myself beyond my comfort zone when it comes to meeting new people, adjusting to a new environment, and traveling so that I can become a stronger individual. Every adventure was worthwhile including the tears, sweat, and laughter."
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself. The first few weeks were very difficult for me because I had never been that far away from everything I know. I learned that I am more self-sufficient than I thought I could be. I am now much more confident in myself and my abilities. I also learned to adopt the important philosophy of life that t..."

"My time abroad has been the most memorable experience in my life. There is no question whether it was worthwhile. If I had the chance to go back, I would go back a thousand times over. I was able to experience being independent while still living in a structured environment. I also started to really appreciate how culture plays ..."
Divina V Trinity University
"I am so lucky to have gone abroad. I feel like I have grown so much, gone on so many different adventures, and met so many awesome people that I hope to keep in touch with in the future. Going abroad has given me the courage to go out and try new things and move to new places, especially as the end of college is approaching and ..."
Sarah C Trinity University
"It was so worth it; I wish I'd spent a full year there. I learned how to let loose and actually enjoy myself. The community was wonderful. Most people at my own University are bags of dicks, if I may say so. I had an absolutely fantastic time."
A student Trinity University
"I learned the ways that cultures and histories interact to create the world that we live in. I met a monk in Burma who taught me about Buddhism, saw first hand the slave dungeons in Ghana, and a revolutionary water treatment system in Singapore. I learned tidbits of almost a dozen languages, and learned a lot about international..."
Katelyn C Trinity University
"I learned that it is important to experience new things and learn about a new way of life, but it is also important to stay true to yourself. It was definitely a worthwhile experience that enlightened me to various strengths and weaknesses in my own character that I had not previously been aware of. I focused more on getting to ..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about myself and how I handle different situations in very different places. I would probably go with a program more oriented towards what I was looking for but overall my trip to China was awesome and I would definitely do it again...just a little different. "
A student Trinity University
"It would be impossible for me to sum up everything I learned at the University of Oxford. I completely readjusted my way of thinking, and learned to examine concepts objectively and logically. I learned to write a 10-page research paper in less than a week and defend my arguments in one-on-one discussions with a PhD. I learned t..."
Rachel H Trinity University
"I feel like I am a professional traveler now. I learned that I cannot control everything, especially when traveling, and that I have to let loose and just go with the flow. It was definitely worth while. "
May W Trinity University
"Absolutely. Learned to not worry about little things, care less about what people think about me. I learned that even in an extremely unsafe place, people are still good and I felt safe at the same time. I learned to be friends with anyone, and not take things personally. I learned to break away from groups and trust myself. It ..."
Chris S Trinity University
"The experience was absolutely worthwhile. I feel more confident about my traveling abillities, as well as my ability to learn a difficult language."
Samuel M E Trinity University
"So much. I am world-wise in a way that only direct experience can give. There is nothing more worthwhile."
Samuel J Trinity University
"This program is the cream of the crop as far as study abroad programs go! I made so many American friends and had such a great time traveling all around not just Dublin but all of Ireland as well. The internship phase is awesome because it gets you into the Dublin city life and culture each day! I would highly recommend this pro..."
Sara H Trinity University
"I learned to get by with less stuff. I saw many different ways that people live across Europe. I also gained many new friends. Studying abroad was definitely worthwhile. If I did it over again I would probably think about going somewhere a little more exotic, but London is a fantastic city with free museums, lots of shows, and a..."
A student Trinity University
"I gained independence. Going to a small college with very helpful professors and having such a close and supportive family really did not allow me to feel and kind of independence when I went to college. Traveling to a foreign country allowed me to really grow up and learn from people different from myself. I also loved my exper..."
Lauren T Trinity University
"My Chinese improved so quickly and dramatically I still haven't processed the idea that I seriously would spend days and days without speaking a word of English. I am planning to try to recreate many of the dishes I got to taste in China over the next semester because it was so healthy and delicious. I was homesick a lot of the ..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned more about the Italian culture and the truths about various stereotypes, a better understanding of the Italian language, and gained a newfound appreciation/desire for more world travel. It was very worthwhile. "
Rebekah A Trinity University
"I gained insight into schooling in the UK system, and thoroughly enjoyed my time; however, I gained very little academically. There was plenty of fun to be had, but aside from my interest in golf I don't think it was worth going."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to depend on myself more, I learned about the ecuadorian culture, and greatly improved my Spanish."
Colbie D Trinity University
"I learned an incredible amount about myself, the Spanish language and Latin American politics. I think most importantly I learned how to be adventurous while being safe."
Lucas B Trinity University
"Adaptation, how to have fun."
William P Trinity University
"I gained work experience and had a lot of fun, but it was a program that could have been located in the states, there was very little integration with Scottish society"
A student Trinity University
"I learned a lot about ecology, and the dangers facing Brazil's remaining environment. I learned that I am capable of traveling independently. I learned that Brazil has the loveliest and warmest people who love to share their culture with others. It was worthwhile, but in retrospect I probably would have chosen a program that pla..."
