A student University of Maryland - College Park
"AUR's professors are truly invested in their students. My classes were hands on and mainly discussion-based. The student-life office is also a great resource for anything and everything you may need. They highly encourage getting to know Rome, especially on a local level. I can honestly say that the university helped me grow as ..."

Ryan B University of Maryland - College Park
"My experience abroad was the absolute best. I got to live in a new place, meet new people from different cultures, and see places I never thought I would get to see. It opens up your eyes living somewhere else. You see the differences and similarities between cultures, and it allows you to bring new ideas you learned abroad back..."
Bennett M University of Maryland - College Park
"I was exposed to a much more desperate level of poverty that exists in the world. I had the most fun dancing that I've ever had so far!

A student University of Maryland - College Park
"Of course it was worthwhile! Knowing what I know now, if I could do it again I would probably choose a program that would allow me to interact with local students more easily. But despite that, I learned so much about myself, still immersed myself in the culture with my host family and simply by living there for 4 months, and pe..."

"I could not have asked for a better semester in Sydney. I made lifelong friends, traveled around Australia, Thailand, and New Zealand, and explored Sydney as much as I could during the semester. I learned about myself, a culture different from my own, and the amazing people in Australia. I cannot wait until I get the chance to v..."

"I learned about the cultures of Israel and the myriad of conflicting factors that exist in the country both domestic and foreign. "
A student University of Maryland - College Park
