Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I am less judgmental and I appreciate where I came from so much more. I see the world and different cultures in such a different light. I appreciate meeting new people and I love getting to know locals because you can learn the most from them. "
kelsey k University of Colorado - Boulder
"I learned so many different things from my time abroad. From gaining insight into different cultures all around the World to truly becoming a local Italian for four months, I had the time of my life. I gained new friends, new experiences, new knowledge, and a new view of the World. I would recommend studying abroad to anyone who..."
Hannah G University of Colorado - Boulder
"The six months I spent in Alcalá de Henares were among the most formative of my college education. After learning Spanish for years in American public education systems, where I could learn to read and write but not to speak with confidence, staying with a host family unable to speak English transformed my Spanish. It also trans..."
David B University of Colorado - Boulder
"I learned how to make friends and keep in touch with them, I gained experiences of a lifetime that will be with me for the rest of my days, I got to know a different side of Spain that not a lot of people get to know. I got to travel across europe on a budget."
Patricio N University of Colorado - Boulder
"Studying abroad in Florence was the best decision I have ever made. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and given the chance to learn more about myself in 4 months than I thought was possibe. I would do it all over again if I could! "
Taylor D University of Colorado - Boulder
"It's always challenging trying to remember exactly what I was like before studying abroad. I was still the same me, with the same beliefs and general goals. However, I came home from Australia with a confidence and excitement that can only truly be gained through experience, and getting out of your comfort zone! I also developed..."

"I have learned so many things that I do not even know where to begin. I am currently an intern in Italy, which is an opportunity most students do not gain when they study abroad. My school offered me an internship in the town of Sorrento, but I happened to become an intern at the school. Here, I get to work closely with the f..."

"On the ground experience and connections in D.C."
Max H University of Colorado - Boulder
"There are no words to explain how worthwhile my experience in Florence was. If I could do it all again I would- a million times! "
Moriah M University of Colorado - Boulder
"My semester abroad in Chile utilized lectures, discussions and shadowing to fully understand the topics of public health, traditional medicine, and community empowerment in the Chilean, Peruvian, Aymará, and Mapuche populations. Throughout the semester our program traveled to the towns of Temuco in southern Chile, Putre in the h..."
Nicole M University of Colorado - Boulder
"I gained so much. The most important thing is the ability to handle challenging situations as a group, and when I was by myself. I travelled alone for a month, including a week of hitch-hiking alone around New Zealand. I had to handle lots of tough situations on my own, and I'm more mature because of it."
Colin B University of Colorado - Boulder
"I feel like I know more about Florence than I know my own town, which is quite odd. The depths of the city and the culture and history behind it is fascinating, and through learning about that, I was able to have rich experiences in which I learned about myself as a person. Worthwhile is an understatement!"
Dee L University of Colorado - Boulder
"It was absolutely worthwhile!!! I learned how to stand up on my own: how to travel, how to interact with total strangers, how to get by without speaking the language, how to problem-solve on my feet, how to be flexible, how to enjoy the present moment, how to love diversity and differences in people and places, how to appreciate..."

"I did an internship and it really helped me professionally, I am still in touch with my supervisor and will see him in a couple weeks in Boulder. I also made friends and got to see how a huge city functions in another part of the world!"
Jaclyn B University of Colorado - Boulder
"It was worthwhile because I learned so much about the world, and it opened my eyes to the issues that face every country, and every city all over the world. Paris is not exempt from cultural tension and racism, and this dichotomy between the immigrants and the Parisians can be overwhelming. I certainly learned a lot, and, in fac..."
Susanna M University of Colorado - Boulder
"My experience was very worthwhile. I was able to experience and live in a culture that was different from my own, which broadened my understandings and view points. I learned how to rely on myself and successfully travel abroad through many different countries."
Sarah M University of Colorado - Boulder
"yes"
Jeff K University of Colorado - Boulder
"YES! Go abroad! You will never get another experience like this. It changed my life, and made me grow so much as a person. I never realized how much I didn't know about the world and how much I wanted to see it until I went to Sevilla. "
Mallory M University of Colorado - Boulder
"Yes. It has completely opened my mind to others around the globe. I use the information I learned about the world around us everyday, making positive changes within my own life and the lives of the people around me. "
Tess H University of Colorado - Boulder
"I gained a lot of language skills. I am also much more accepting and have incorporated a little bit of pura vida into my life. I am much more laid back and more interested in exploring different areas, even within the states. Every new experience offers room for growth."
Annette G University of Colorado - Boulder
"Gained great cultural understanding and overall life experience. Challenged me to be fully responsible of my actions while inspiring a sense of adventure for the world."
George T University of Colorado - Boulder
"Best 5 months of my life, I would give anything to go back. The friends I met I still keep in contact with and I'm very bad with keeping in contact with people when I'm not with them"
