Kaitlyn Brandow University of Rhode Island
"I learned different tips, techniques and helpful tools that I will continue to use as I continue my education and further enhance my career as a health studies major. This trip abroad was well worth my time, and I would 100% go back again to continue improving my knowledge. "
Bowen Daileader University of Rhode Island
"Yes! It is yet another perspective of the world. To learn to live, adapt, and thrive in a completely different culture and language is incredibly challenging but you grow so very much. Every minute is valuable time stepping out of your comfort zone and learning about life, people, and time management you can't see from any other..."
Mariah S University of Rhode Island
"My time abroad gave me the most memorable months of my life. I learned so many skills in independence, financial planning and travelling! I can now travel anywhere with confidence and excitement. I can walk into a room of strangers and have no issue introducing myself and joining a conversation. I now have friends across the pla..."
Kelsey Young University of Rhode Island
"While abroad, I grew as an individual and was able to discover so much about myself that I never knew. Being in a different country forced me to break myself out of my shell and try new things. Me, a once quiet and shy girl, never would have imagined making so many friends and doing crazy activities like jumping out of an airpla..."
Kristen Dove University of Rhode Island
"Study abroad was certainly the most worthwhile experience I have ever pushed myself to undertake. I learned all the cliche lessons that you read from study abroad alumni - they only sound so cliche until you take the jump and do it and realize they are all true. I feel more independent, more self-sufficient, and confident in my ..."
Amanda Bednarick University of Rhode Island
"From my experience abroad, I developed a love for China and their culture and language. It also gave me a newfound appreciation for my own amazing country and all of the small things in it that I take for granted (forks!)"
Keara C University of Rhode Island
"I gained so many hands-on skills from my internship. My internship allowed me to work with a sports team which I wouldn't have been able to do in America. I also become more independent and self-confident through living in a foreign country. It was a completely worthwhile experience."
Meghan Watkins University of Rhode Island
"I think I gained a better understanding of what my interest in life are. When I left the U.S. for the first time in high school, I was amazed when I came back, as my entire scope on the world had gotten bigger. It was really cool, but I didn’t get a lot of lasting impacts from it. This time, after being abroad for 5 months, I go..."
Ryan Sullivan University of Rhode Island
"It was definitely worth while, I agained a lot of insight on the culture of Australia and even Indonesia, as I was able to travel a lot. I was also able to experience many different parts of Australia. "
Julie Connell University of Rhode Island
"My experience abroad was the best decision I made while in college. I gained so much from my 4 months abroad that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. Living in Florence and traveling throughout Europe opened my eyes to what else is out there in the world. I was able to not only explore the world, but also explore myself..."
Gina Tonno University of Rhode Island
"I learned that I love every aspect of traveling and exploring new cities, and I really learned how to be independent. It was definitely worthwhile, if it were up to be I would go back right now!"
Tara C University of Rhode Island
"It was absolutely worthwhile. If I could do the whole thing over, I wouldn't change a thing. I learned a lot about myself and all of the things I was capable of doing. "
Tiare Fridrich University of Rhode Island
"I gained so many unforgettable memories and friends while I was abroad, but more importantly I learned how to truly make myself happy. I went abroad expecting to create amazing memories (how could you not when in Australia) but what I didn't expect was to learn as much about myself as I did. Prior to studying abroad I was very i..."
Sarah University of Rhode Island
"Being in Australia for 4 months, I was able to see amazing places that I had only ever dreamed of seeing. The Australian culture and lifestyle is so laid back, and the people there are all so friendly. If I could do it all over, I would in a heartbeat."
Jane Innis University of Rhode Island
"Doing things solo can be the best way to have fun. "
Arkia Wynn University of Rhode Island
"The experience was extremely worthwhile, I would recommend going abroad to everyone! AIFS is a great company to go through and the Salzburg program is wonderful if it's a good fit for you!"
Taylor O University of Rhode Island
"While on this trip I learned a lot about my major aswell as myself. I learned that I am capable of living on my own even if it is on the other side of the world. I also learned a lot about my major that you can't learn in a classroom. I can honestly say that CAPA and Sydney changed who I am for the better. I am incredible gr..."
Joe C University of Rhode Island
"Studying abroad has made me a much more independent and open-minded person. You learn a lot about yourself and what you're capable of when you travel halfway across the world without anyone you're familiar with. From this experience, I gained lifelong friends and unforgettable memories that I will keep with me wherever I go in t..."
Briana P University of Rhode Island
"I learned so much about myself as well as the new culture I was immersed in. A semester abroad pushes you outside your comfort zone and forces you to try new things you will not regret. The experiences and memories create friendships that could last a lifetime."
Jordan S University of Rhode Island
"I learned about Australian culture, and gained an amazing sense of adventure. Being abroad was the greatest thing I've ever done. Between weekend trips to Gold Coast, Bali, and New Zealand, you feel like you are always on an adventure. Once you're in Australia, you have a whole new hemisphere to explore! I learned independence, ..."
Val N University of Rhode Island
"I came back with a massively bigger understand not only of Australian culture, but of my own culture and travel in general. I got to see the comparisons of my own upbringing and other's, while gaining a larger respect for others in the process."
Matt S University of Rhode Island
"While abroad, I learned that I am much more independent than I had ever known. I gained the knowledge of a new culture and the ability to adapt to new ways of life. Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile and I would do it all over a million times!"
Michaela W University of Rhode Island
"Going across the world to study abroad not knowing a single soul was one of the craziest and scariest things I have ever done. But big risk big reward right? RIGHT. My experience abroad was unbelievably rewarding in so many ways and a lot of that I owe to TEAN. I learned things about myself, others, different cultures, and so mu..."
