Noelle University of the Pacific
"I did not think so initially. It seemed to easy. As time went on, I grew more irritable. Things were more complicated than they seemed. I adapted and things got better.I became more comfortable with anomalies and discomfort. My experience abroad was worthwhile."
A student University of the Pacific
"First of all choosing to study abroad has been one of the best decisions of my life, I would recommend it to everyone. Also if you can stay a year that's even better a semester is too short. Time abroad goes way too fast, I was here both semesters and I still wish I had more time. Overall being here has changed my perspective of..."

"I definitely have a more well-rounded understanding of people from other cultures, especially Sweden but thanks to the fact I lived with international students, a lot of other cultures as well. I got to visit so many amazing places through VIS and other things and it was just a wonderful opportunity to explore and learn"

"I learned so much valuable information about Northern Ireland's ethno-national conflict and gained insight into their politics, culture, society, sociology, etc. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in peace and conflict studies!"
A student University of the Pacific
"It was definitely worthwhile! I learned about a whole new culture that I have learned to love and immerse myself in. I don't think I ever felt homesick because the people I was around (homestay, friends, program) always made me feel comfortable and at home. I learned I can study, work, and live abroad without the fear of missing..."

"I feel like I grew as a person and broadened my horizons. "
A student University of the Pacific
"I gained a sense of Pura Vida, an enjoyment of a slower pace in life. Confidence in talking to people, and curiosity to search for more. It's made me realize that I need to explore my own back yard (the US). SO WORTHWHILE, i recommend everyone to study abroad and let themselves absorb everything the culture has to offer them. "
Cindy H University of the Pacific
"I learned to do my research before I pick an institution. In the future, I would call the university and ask for honesty about the true rigor of courses and the real motivation level of students here. "
A student University of the Pacific
"Even though everything is different, there remains basic similarities. All urban cities are easy enough to adapt to. It's very rewarding and fun to gain some confidence in your language skills. Studying abroad was definitely a worthwhile experience."
Jia.Min.Huang8 University of the Pacific
"There is really too much to put simply and eloquently. I learned a lot about the Senegalese culture as well as my own. How I interpreted and reacted to certain situations taught me a lot about how I view things from an American point of view as well as gaining a different perspective from the Senegalese. I saw how development fu..."

Chad F University of the Pacific
"I enjoyed my Latin American Politics class and my Cultural Studies class, but I found the overall program lacking when it came to cultural immersion. I felt like I was on a very long tourist vacation for much of my experience. This is largely due to the fact that all of the students are from the United States and are very young ..."
A student University of the Pacific
