Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."IT WAS AMAZING. I learned that cultural diversity and awareness is very important in future careers. Being able to respect other countries and their cultures is a way for us to accept others equally. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I respect that. I am very thankful for what I have, because not every country has c..."

A student University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

Julia M University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"Yes, more than anything, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. I can't imagine not having done it now. I learned so much about myself living in New Zealand. If you have any slight leaning to study abroad, do it. You will never regret doing it, but you will likely regret not taking advantage of such an opportunity when it is..."
Anneka J University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I grew as a person. Now that I'm back in America, I know that I need to go back. I had planned on going straight to graduate school after undergrad, but now I'm thinking about taking a year off and moving there. I might even go to grad school there!"

"I saw the nuances of a culture from the inside. I gained a whole new perspective on my own life in the U.S. and really evaluated the goals I have for myself. I was already interested, and studying, international business before I went to Argentina, but now that "international" part is calling to me a lot more than business. The ..."

"Yes. "
Nick B University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"The best part about studying abroad is that you get to know a knew way of life other than that we live in the U.S. There are OTHER ways of going about things, whether they differ dramatically or very little from the way we do things. Since studying abroad, I am enthusiastic about learning a second language."
Robert W University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I enjoyed pretty much every second of my program. Besides the high cost of living, everything else was wonderful. If you get the opportunity to partake in such an experience, I would absolutely recommend Gold Coast."
Amy V University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"Yes!!!!"
Leigh L University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"Traveling anywhere gives you a cultural experience, shows you how other people live, learn, and interact. Sometime you find something new you love and sometimes you just realize what you have at home. Either way you gain experience that cannot be taught in a book or a lecture. Being in a foreign country is an experience in itsel..."

"I gained a much greater appreciation for diversity in the world, and realized that just because something is different from the way i see/do things, doesn't mean it's wrong"
Ethan T University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"I definitely learned more than just Spanish in the DR... I'm glad I chose the DR as opposed to, say, Spain... just because the DR is so completely unlike anything I'd ever known. "

"It was an amazing opportunity to live in Madrid and to communicate daily in Spanish. I became more independent and confident and had a wonderful time doing it."
Abigail M University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"It was extremely worthwhile. I took in about four semesters of Spanish and challenged my levels of comfort. I feel more adaptable, flexible, and capable of being in a foreign place. Going to Costa Rica jump-started my interest in environmentalism. I left with fond memories of my host family (and the food) that I will always ..."
Michelle i University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"You have to check out Amizade's programs in Tanzania. My experiences there really have been a high point in my undergraduate career. Doing this program has given me a whole other perspective that I continually reflect upon in both my academic and personal life. "
Ryan G University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh
"Great experience and an excellent opportunity to not only gain a different perspective on the issues of identity, the Holocaust, and social justice but also an incredible cross-cultural immersion. "
