Dublin is an incredibly diverse city that introduced me to the Irish culture and gave me a sense of independence while living there on my own, more or les..."

Nicolle B University of Florida
"I learned so much about myself. Studying abroad taught me how to be more vulnerable, how to be more confident, to not avoid conflict, and reminded me of the freedom that I have as a young person. "
Courtney E University of Florida
"YESSSSSS. I love every moment of it :)"
Bryan Rivera University of Florida
"I feel I gained a deeper understanding of the people and culture that exists in Japan. There only so much you get from classes at Universities in your home country and nothing is quite like the real thing. Also, some the teachers at Nanzan were amazing. For me it was the Japanese Politics teacher who I would have hour long talks..."
Thomas Santos University of Florida
"My internship was incredible placement. I gained agency experience that is very hard to find in the U.S. Also, I learned about Dublin and Irish history. The list is very long on what I learned/gained from the experience- it may even be immeasurable!"
Bailey University of Florida
"An appreciation for people who think completely different than I do. Yes."
Lawrence Lipp University of Florida
"There is just so much to learn and explore at all times"
Esperanza University of Florida
"During my experience abroad, what I learned the most about was probably myself. The program gives you so much time to do whatever you choose, it can show you more about who you truly are. For example, when an empty day presents itself (which I found many of), how you choose to spend it is up to you, and probably a few friends yo..."

"I was able to develop professionally, expand my cultural knowledge, explore a diverse and historically rich city and discover myself in a new light."
Courtney B University of Florida
"I learned about myself and others. I learned a lot about other cultures and now have a new perspective on them. It was very worthwhile."
Jennifer R University of Florida
"I have been abroad before, but never like this. Choosing TEAN and the wildlife, environment and conservation trip was one of the best choices I could have made. The experiences were incredible and everyone worked hard to make sure that we were learning and that we were having a great time. It was just the right amount of work an..."
Sierra S University of Florida
"Studying abroad introduced me to a whole new group of people. I was able to study their culture and how this impacts daily life, while also experiencing how western culture impacts their life. I made new friends, who I really miss. I can't wait to go back in two years!"
A student University of Florida
"I learned about my own privilege and drastic inequalities around the world. It was worthwhile as an introduction to these issues but not enough to fully understand (it might be almost impossible to fully understand)."
A student University of Florida
"I learned a lot about the renewable energy systems in place in Iceland and how they work as well as how they are implemented in the country. I gained so many priceless, surreal memories of adventuring abroad in this magic countryland - from hiking to swimming in hot springs to trekking around in ice. It was truly unforgettable; ..."
Iqra A University of Florida
"It's difficult to condense everything from my year abroad. I certainly learned a lot about myself and my capacity to deal with ambiguous situations or seek help from others. I did learning in the classroom, but much of the application happens outside of the classroom and both pieces were important. My study abroad experience sha..."
Katie P University of Florida
"OF COURSE IT WAS! I learned so much that I created a whole blog about it. But in short words: I increased my global awareness and have an international perspective on politics and relations among nations. "
Kristy P University of Florida
"I really gained a sense of independence while abroad and a better sense of self. There is a saying that goes "if you travel far enough, you'll find yourself" and I definitely learned more about me as an individual than every before. It's was the best 6 weeks of my life!"
A student University of Florida
"I gained the confidence to speak Spanish and to travel. I learned how independent I can be and it is priceless. This affordable program is worth every penny!!!"
Brisa K University of Florida
"This experience truly shaped my future. After studying abroad, I realize how much more I want to travel and see the world. I am now looking into jobs at companies that specialize in studying abroad and international travel, so you could definitely say the experience was worthwhile. "
bri.gorman University of Florida
"I gained a whole new outlook on life and I picked up a lot of small skills that I have been able to apply to my everyday life. Living in a foreign country forces you to examine your home culture from an outsider's perspective, and that was a really eye-opening experience for me. "
A student University of Florida
"I was able to experience so many different cultures in such a short period of time not only among the locals but the different students on the trip with me. It was most definitely worth while. "
Constantina G University of Florida
"I gained the confidence I needed to pursue a career in my field of study"
ray.lowenstein University of Florida
"experiencing another culture. Also with so many other people from other countries there, I was exposed to people from all sorts of places around the world."
A student University of Florida
"I learned a lot in my time abroad. I learned the most about Italian culture and how it was different than American culture. I am definitely very grateful for things I have access to in America that I never really thought about before studying abroad. I also learned a lot about myself and that I like to try new things and venture..."
