I gained a higher self-awareness, as well as an awareness of how I think within my own culture and how a different culture can approach social and world issues differently. Brian Flake - University of Tulsa View Entire Review

I gained independence, maturity, and a whole lot of cultural awareness. Being abroad actually teaches you a lot about the US. Lauren V - Western Washington University View Entire Review
Great! Andrew N - Virginia Military Institute View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile! The biggest thing that I learned is that if you want to do something like learn a language or meet locals, you have to make it happen and not just wait for the opportunity to come along. Emily R - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review
Have fun whatever is going on in the situations Carlos A - Berea College View Entire Review
I realized that my fascination for culture can actually manifest itself into a future career as an Anthropologist. I have such a better understanding of the world and of America. All of the Americans I met were incredible and I learned so much about the country I come from and how many amazing people live in it. Brianna D - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
I gained a lot of insight into Brasilian culture, as it is extremely diverse and rich in everything from food to dance. My experience abroad was definitely impacted by the previous friends I had here in Brasil, which allowed me to travel and learn more about the country, so my case may not be a typical one. It has definitely spa... Tiffany L - Towson University View Entire Review
From every possible angle I gained something from my study abroad experience. Friends, language, cultural understanding, and most important memories. It doesn't have to this particular program but if you have an opportunity to go abroad for a period of time, go. Derron J - Texas Tech University - Health Sciences Center View Entire Review
About
Florianópolis, a city situated on an island in southeastern Brazil, is modern and cosmopolitan yet also blessed with tremendous natural beauty. Floripa, as it is called by locals, showcases over 42 beaches, rolling mountains, Atlantic rainforest, soft white sand dunes, and an array of offshore islands. As a complement to its natural beauty, this popular city has been named one of the best places to live and do business in a country that is rapidly becoming an economic superpower. Florianópolis is a unique destination where past, present and future coexist harmoniously, making it a fantastic place for a student wanting to study abroad in an active and dynamic city environment.
