"whole outlook on life changed"
Lauren S University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I gained an understanding for how much I have taken for granted in my own life. As a future educator, I had the opportunity to observe in the classrooms and to interact with the children. This experience has provided me with stories as well as ideas that I can bring back to the American classrooms."
Cailyn E University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"The intersection between the environment, the economy, and the living conditions of the local people and the resources to which they have access. "

"It changed my academic interests, solidified my goals for the future and helped me understand myself more."
Kevin M University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"This trip was most definitely worthwhile. We learned so much about the different ways people live in the Dominican Republic as well as how the past has influenced the current state of the country.

Hannah R University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse

John Y University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I travel a lot, and this ranks at the top of my experiences. This trip made me think about what it means to be a white American woman, the meaning of sustainability, and what development should be. I feel more aware of my identity, the world other people live in, and what it means to be a world citizen. While I had thought abou..."
Emma B University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse

Hannah A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"This was a new program, which explains my rating for the Home Institution Advising Overall. They only had a small idea of what this program would be like, which is of no fault to them. That was one of the most interesting parts of this trip. We had a lot of open time and options so we could make decisions for ourselves or as a ..."

Alex L University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned a lot about myself while being abroad, such as that I am much more independent than I thought I was. I also realized just how oblivious I was to things going on around the world. It made me want to learn about different cultures and even learn more about my culture as an American. "
birschba.kels@uwlax.edu 2 University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse

Eric G University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I absolutely love Scotland and Aberdeen! I really learned a lot about the differences between words and pronounciations with people from the United Kingdom and the United States. I was also able to learn about their values and what is expected of students, parents, and neighbors. I was also able to learn a lot about other cultur..."
Sarah P University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Study abroad has opened my eyes to different cultures around the world and gave me a chance to dig deeper at just how unique they actually are. It was amazing to see how the students including myself grew throughout the program and how quickly we were able to adapt in the different environment. It was more than worthwhile! Tra..."
Renee M University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"YES! I gained a better understanding of where my perceptions were coming from, and how skewed many of them were. South Africa is full of different cultures, each one different and beautiful at the same time. I wish I could have stayed a year instead of a semester. I traveled around southern Africa for over a month, but did no..."
Marlee C University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Yes. I definitely gained understanding for language barriers. I learned a lot about culture and that we need to be accepting of other cultures whether or not we agree with them. I now want to do a semester abroad, hopefully to Scotland. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. "

"Best experience of my life"
Ashley H University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"My speaking ability improved tremendously."
Andrew T University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I feel much more outgoing now after being forced to try hard and communicate in another language all of the time, and also because I knew no one in this program when I signed up. Everyone wants to meet new people and everyone is in the same position- so just be friendly and you'll be fine! I also realized how different Spanish..."
