Kirsten S University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"I think quite simply it just opened me up much more and exposed me to a world I didn't know existed. It not only expanded my personal boundaries by forcing me to change, adapt, and extend my comfort zone, but also my boundaries of the world. I had never really even left Minnesota much before, and here I was in a foreign land. ..."
Mike A University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"It was completely worth while! Everyone should study abroad and I think people in college who never got the chance will regret it. I learned so much about myself and other cultures. It opens your eyes to new experiences and you gain great friendships. I become more outgoing and understanding. I have always loved traveling and it..."
Shanna P University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"Absolutely!"
Zach T University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"I absolutely want to pursue a PhD in marine biology after taking classes in Australia. I also want to go move to Australia for a year and be in those surroundings again. This was one of the happiest times of my life, I truly fit in an Australian lifestyle. Studying abroad also made me feel like I could do anything I wanted with ..."
Stefanie W University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"This being my first time abroad, helped me realize how much stereotype is out there in the world. Being a Hmong Asian American while living in New Zealand was hard to teach and explain to everyone about my culture. Being from an ethnicity that doesn't have a home country is hard to explain. Growing up and living in the States, i..."
Nalee V University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"Yes, it was very worthwhile. I needed an internship for my major so it was great for me. I am just disappointed that our classes weren't in a large university there. I feel that I wasn't exposed to a lot of Australian's because all of my time was at work or with my program friends, so it wasn't like we were going to branch ou..."
Kristina C University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"Studying abroad was one of the most enriching, fulfilling and uplifting experiences of my life. Not only did I learn so much myself but I also learned more about the world I live in, it made the world smaller. I learned that not only does the world not start in the US, it also doesn't end in the US. As an aspiring Ob/Gyn, th..."

"Most definitely worthwhile."
Ben B University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"My study abroad experience greatly improved my Spanish language skills. I was only there for three weeks and had little Spanish skills prior. By the time I left I was easily conversing with locals. It was a great experience for anyone who would like to learn Spanish."
Abigail M University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"This was the best experience of my life. Not only did being away from my family and comfort zone force me to learn more about myself, but I learned how to adapt to new situations. This was really helpful when learning about London's culture and when going to countries where I wasn't able to speak the language. I went on two we..."

I still don't understand parts of the culture, but I like it all the same, its an adventure to go out there and find new bits and pieces of the culture that you have never seen before."
Vong L University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"Studying in Budapest helped me expand my network to many international friends I made while I was there. It helped me become more aware of how other students live and also the commonalities that all people our age have. In addition to that, it helped me become more confident in my future plans of working in international produ..."
Corey S University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"It was definitely worthwhile, but my specific program left a lot to be desired. The understandings I gained had mostly to do with myself and what I found interesting. I made some good friends but took the opportunity as a time to selfishly do exactly what I wanted to do. I learned how important communication skills are--especial..."
A student University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
"YES - I learned so much about South Africa and its history, its present, and its racial and social issues. It is a fascinating, beautiful country filled with pleasant people. Studying abroad in South Africa caused me to go abroad again, to Uganda, after I graduated. I am so glad that I studied abroad!"
