Karen M Villanova University
"SO much, I learned so much about the culture of Spain and other countries in Europe, I have a new understanding of a language and it's historical importance, I lived and studied on my own in a completely different part of the world and all of it was better than I ever could have hoped for"
Brittany C Villanova University

A student Villanova University
"Very worthwhile, I learned a lot about myself and made some amazing friends."
A student Villanova University
"Surprisingly for a study abroad program, what I gained the most from my time in the UK was academic. My tutor was a wonderful, helpful man, but he definitely pushed me. I learned a lot and became friends with him by the end. I also loved Oxford's 6-week-long Spring break, which gave me a TON of time to travel around the conti..."
A student Villanova University
"I learned about so many new cultures and I even learned more about the US from being away from it for so long. I learned that I can get along with all types of people and that I can adjust and be flexible to travel the world."
A student Villanova University
"I learned a lot more Spanish and I made some wonderful friends. I also discovered a beautiful, mysterious city. Absolutely worthwhile."
Regina M Villanova University

Caitlin B Villanova University
"I was able to have more hands on a practical experience in my field that I ever would at an American college. There was a great variety of classes."
A student Villanova University

Nicole W Villanova University
"Language skills, definitely worthwhile"
A student Villanova University
"All in all, my experiences were amazing in Hong Kong because I fulfilled and surpassed my academic, personal and professional goals. Academically, I was most definitely challenged by the coursework. It was a unique experience because they were all classes I would not have found at my home university. The classes not only broaden..."
Stephanie C Villanova University
"Absolutely"
Lauren H Villanova University
"I would never let a mediocre school ruin my time abroad. The people I met and the places I went were beyond anything I could have ever imagined. It was one of the best, if not the best, experiences in my lifetime I wouldn't pass it up for anything."
Jack C Villanova University
"A part of the program is to conduct a month-long independent study project, so in doing this research by myself I gained valuable experiences such as knowing how to talk to people who don't necessarily have the same background as myself, to be persistent, to be cutthroat, organizational skills, and keeping a goal in mind. Cultur..."
Ivana W Villanova University
"I plan to return once I have graduated to teach English. I want to live across seas following my graduation and further expand on my cultural education. "
Laura M Villanova University
"I got to see the world from a whole new perspective. I think it made me become a more open person in general. I definitely feel more cultural, and I know that I want to travel around Europe more in the future (when I have a real job and money). My academic interests have changed slightly but my future plan is still the same. ..."

Shannon M Villanova University
"very interesting cultural experiences very easy to travel"
Christine M Villanova University
"After this experience I see in myself many ways I could grow and improve. The HKU campus was so international and it was frankly amazing that everybosy spoke at least two fluents perfectly. This program helped me confirm that I want to hold a career that is international mobile and sparked in me an interest in sustainable touris..."
