Janelle K University of Rhode Island
"I learned how to completely immerse myself in a different city halfway around the world. To live completely on my own whilst learning a new culture. I learned the key to traveling and seeing new things and learning to enjoy every single second of it."

"My experience abroad was AMAZING, I grew so much as a person . The friends I made while abroad I will remember and keep with me forever.

allyson g University of Rhode Island
"While I was abroad, I grew into the person that I am today. I am a strong and independent woman and before I studied in Israel, I was sheltered and did not realize how much more was out there in the world. The lifestyle, culture, and sites of Tel Aviv are incredible and if I could, I would do it all over again, even the summer h..."
Shayna M University of Rhode Island
"Confidence. Traveling and living across the world is an inspiring endeavor. I would do it again in a heart-beat. "
Andrew G University of Rhode Island
"I am much more culturally aware being exposed to more cultures than just the American. I leaned that each country has its own set of social norms and how to deal with problems that my arise if there are conflicts because of cultural differences. I also learned a lot about myself, and grew because of the experiences I had. It ..."
Megan D University of Rhode Island
"I learned so much about the countries of both Australia and Thailand while studying through TEAN. But overall i learned so much about myself, what makes me truly happy, and the strength of my own independence. "
Joshua L University of Rhode Island
"i learned an unimaginable amount from the classes i took and the experiences i had. I gained a perspective on life that made me appreciate it so much more. Realizing that life isnt about just being "successful" in todays economy, its about your journey and experiences and how much you can make an impact on the lives of those a..."
Aaron H University of Rhode Island
"I am more willing to branch out and meet all kinds of people and have shed some of my shy ways. I have a better understanding of the Italian culture, and even a better appreciation of my own. This experience has inspired me to take life slower to appreciate every moment, and I have even changed my mind about what I want to do ..."
Caitlin S University of Rhode Island
"I experienced so much culture while I was abroad in NZ. I learned about the Maori and took a class about it at the University. The experiences I had while away broadened my perspectives about different countries and cultures because I met people from all over the world. It intrigued me to travel more in the future after I gradua..."
Bethany M University of Rhode Island
"I also was exposed to a lot of the media coverage Israel was receiving in the states but, living here myself for the six months made me realize how cultured and incredible the country is. The pride the citizens hold for their own country is remarkable and how modern Tel Aviv has become, no one would believe me. I came back a str..."
Shayna M University of Rhode Island
"I am now more open minded to eventually living in another country whereas previously I may have ruled it out as not feasible or worth the effort. I see now I couldn't have been more wrong!"
Oliver P University of Rhode Island
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile, without a doubt. The experience changed my entire perspective on American culture. Things that I had previously regarded as fixed realities have since been challenged, and I have left with a greater appreciation and critique of American culture. My experience hasn't necessarily changed ..."
Marisa O University of Rhode Island
"I actually didn't realize how much my experience abroad changed my ways of thinking until the months following my return. I've started to analyze my interactions with the rest of the world differently, it's made me feel more comfortable in my skin, and has helped me lay down concrete goals for myself that I want to achieve. One ..."
Mallory F University of Rhode Island
"It was definitely worth while for me. Although I did not do as well academically as I had hoped, I had an amazing time and met the most interesting people from all over the world. I've never been in an environment where being an American is a huge minority. It was very interesting to see what other people thought about America/A..."
Ali S University of Rhode Island
"This was a great program to be a part of as my first experience in a Spanish speaking country. The program length (~5 weeks) was a good amount of time to understand what's it like to be living abroad and to begin to understand cultural paradigms and learn how to deal with culture shock. It helped prepare me for my 2 semester tri..."
Andrew V University of Rhode Island

Rachael G University of Rhode Island
"Absolutely worthwhile, I learned how to work with a group of people under stressful conditions and close quarters"
Katie C University of Rhode Island
"My experience was amazing... something I'll be talking about for the rest of my life. I have a completely different view of life- It fits the cliche of "I found myself" I am even considering moving to Ireland in my future."
