"I improved a lot in the language. I also gained a lot of self-confidence and appreciation for my life in the US. Prior to leaving, I just wanted to improve my Spanish speaking. Now I want to go back and become fluent."

Michelle H University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I grew up in a small town with a genuine lack of diversity and history. After studying abroad, I am more aware of the world - whether its history, politics, family dynamics, or gastronomics, I feel like a more informed and well-rounded person. I now have a greater confidence in myself - if I can live and thrive in a foreign coun..."

"I have realized that Israel will always be a place in my heart and be a place that I will continue visiting and supporting for the rest of my life. I learned it is important to be more easygoing and not stress about little things."

Kailynn M University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I grew as a person so much, I gained a new vision on life and have friends all over the world! While my academic institution wasn't the best, it enabled me to travel on weekends everywhere. My experience was so great, I stayed an extra month in Europe and backpacked Italy and Croatia for a month!"
Monica B University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"My future plans have definitely focused more on environmental health, just from learning about the pollution and water problems that are occurring in Argentina. I learned about a health care system that is public and private. My experience abroad has definitely finalized the idea that I want to work in a health related field in ..."
Sarah A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"This was a great experience. It was a different environment that I'd previously been in contact with. I met so many people that impacted my perspective. It was interesting how the culture was different but the thing that surprised me most was that the issues that they faced were the same as in the U.S. and elsewhere. I guess..."
Kate N University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"It was definitely worthwhile. It completely opened my eyes to a new culture and especially how others view the U.S. I am now sure that I want to live/work/get masters abroad. I can't wait to go back!"
Andriana A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"A big thing I learned was to slow down (the US seems to be the only place that lives at such a fast pace). I learned what other people thought about my home country and now I'm very open to other opinions. This program was worth it! I am so much more aware of what's out there and ready to explore all of it. I am now willing to j..."
Chelsea K University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I have definitely become more aware of different cultures though my time in Prague. Surprisingly however, one of the cultures that I learned most about was my own. Being put in a setting where things are different really made me question the way I do things and why I do th..."
Derek T University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"YES! I would do it all over again. I am so much more aware of what happens in foreign countries and it really opened my eyes to how lucky we have it here in America. Now, I approach situations with a more open mind. My Spanish improved a ton as well! I have the travel bug now!"
Becky S University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"The cost was definitely an issue (and will be when I go to pay it back) but it was worth every single penny. I gained a knowledge of French culture that simply cannot be acquired any other way than living in the country. I made some best friends for life (from America) and have such good French friends that I am visiting them in..."
Kelly N University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I loved my study abroad experience! I learned how to become more independent and enjoy what life has to offer. In America we have different priorities and studying abroad has definitely made me question some of them. I got to figure myself out and gain a better understanding of people from other areas of the world."
Julie A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Absolutely! I learned a lot of things about myself through the living situations I was put in, the school I studied at and the culture of a metropolitan city. I absolutely love Brazil, as I have studied here once in HS. I only want to meet more states and places in Brazil the next time I am able to comeback. I hope this experien..."
kaitlyn B University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"Yes, it was definitely worthwhile! I would go back for another semester if I could(or the rest of my life). I learned a lot about interacting with and living in another culture, and it has broadened my understanding of people, cultural differences and the world. It was not always easy, and I did have tough days, but it was an..."
Melissa W University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"5 hands down. I learned more about myself than I ever deemed possible. It was positive, rewarding, revealing about who I was, empowering, and simply magical. I made some beautiful and life long friends, brought about new cultural awareness and showed that I can be independent and brave. Traveling is now in my future plans and I ..."
Nicolette B University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"It was just an all around great experience. It was really cool to be able to go to a different contry on my own basically relying on myself not on my mom. It was very freeing and showed me how strong I am. "
Hayley S University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"This could take me days to answer... If I haven't explained myself already, OF COURSE my experience abroad was worthwhile. "
Emily D University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse

Trevor A University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"It was incredible! I really appreciate how relaxed the Irish culture is but they are a ways behind America when it comes to social justice and issues like racism and sexism. It made me appreciate America a bit more but I definitely could see myself living in Ireland someday!"
