Schyler T University of the Pacific

Jillian H University of the Pacific
"I have learned a lot about myself, the negatives and the positives. I had no idea what I was doing when I first decided to go abroad but as the first month went by I realized that I signed myself up for one of the greatest experiences in my life."
John K University of the Pacific
"Just reaffirmed them."
Victor C University of the Pacific
"My study abroad experience was extremely worthwhile. In taking classes outside my major, I realized that my career path belongs in business (I had previously considered law school) and that I am, in fact, eager to begin my accounting job upon return to the United States. I am also grateful to have had the opportunity to experien..."
Katherine B University of the Pacific
"Although I didn't have the academic experience that I was hoping for here, I'm still very glad that I chose this program, and would absolutely choose it again. I have learned a lot about the benefits of a slower pace of life, much needed for me, and how to interact with people who think very differently from myself."
Sarah G University of the Pacific
"ABSOLUTELY!"
Kristina K University of the Pacific
"Language, self confidence"
Daniel S University of the Pacific
"I think what really made this study abroad experience worthwhile was my host family. They were all I could ask for in a host family, and I wouldn't have traded them for any other host family or dorm/apartment stay. "
Travis S University of the Pacific
"My study abroad experience was absolutely worth while. I would do it all again if I could, and I wish I could stay longer than a year. This truly feels like my home now. I have gained understanding of a different culture and learned how to speak another language. I am now even more interested in Japan and will definitely try to ..."
Amy D University of the Pacific
"Studying abroad in Taiwan allowed me to see how it has a major role in East Asia, economically and politically. It has retained much of the historically Chinese culture with its distance from the mainland's Cultural Revolution. The Taiwanese people are friendly and enthusiastically welcoming. It was a great experience and I wish..."
Stephen L University of the Pacific

"Although I was disappointed with Florence specifically, the experience itself was very rewarding. I would definitely choose to study abroad again, however, I would not choose to live in Florence. "
Angelina S University of the Pacific
"I would do study abroad all over again if I could. I learned so much about Italian culture and mostly about myself. I learned to become independent and how to deal with things that are unfamiliar to me. "
Gabriella G University of the Pacific
"It has made me really want to go back. I learned a lot of things about how other countries work, and how to travel and be independent that were invaluable. "
A student University of the Pacific
"The one thing that I realized on Reunion was how much things just don't matter. It seemed like the attitude of everyone there. You're on an island in the middle of the ocean that half the world probably doesn't know exists and they survive just fine. Just go with it. "
Rebecca A University of the Pacific
"Being abroad has changed my perspective of the world and how different and beautiful culture really is. I am a more open minded individual and would love to work somewhere abroad!"

"Understand French culture much better now and can't wait to come back."
Rehana L University of the Pacific
"The good aspects of the program for me was being in the highest level Mandarin class of the program, the field trip to Taiwan, the internship placement, and my homestay family. What made me decide not to choose the same program is that I would want to be in a different city for study abroad. Shanghai's modernization has made it ..."
David T University of the Pacific

Benjamin F University of the Pacific
"Yes. I am now thinking that I could live abroad for an extended period of time. I loved that I learned a new language. "
Mary A University of the Pacific
"The study abroad experience has changed my life so profoundly. I gained a confidence I didn't have before that comes only from knowing that you can go out into the world and not only survive it, but have an amazing time in it! It made me more confident to meet people, and more confident that I could make things happen for myself..."
