Barnard College
University Information
Barnard has a rich history and tradition of study abroad dating back to the 1930s. Today, students study abroad in more than 35 countries, from Australia to Tibet. This site details the opportunities available, online resources, and procedures to apply. Please review the information on the website before meeting with the Dean for Study Abroad.
One of the best ways to learn more about what study abroad can offer you academically and personally is from other Barnard students who have studied abroad or who are currently abroad. We invite you to link to reach out to Barnard students who have studied abroad to ask questions about their experience and research which program is right for you.

"YES!!! Too many things were gained from it!! JUST GO"
Naina S Barnard College

Lauren C Barnard College
"This question is difficult to answer just because my study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. I would never change where I went or when I went. I wish I was still there. It completely changed my attitude toward life, what I value, how I view things and what I want to do in the future."

Kelly K Barnard College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I made many great friends from all different backgrounds (two of my best friends were a biochem major and a finance major).

Megan C Barnard College
"It was amazing! "
Yael S Barnard College
"It was perhaps the best thing I've done during my entire time at college. It gave me a new perspective on a number of things, and encouraged me to explore different ways of learning, a diverse variety of materials, and completely new ideas, all while surrounding me with a supportive community and interesting students. I had a fa..."
Elena M Barnard College

"Absolutely. Living in a different city is a good experience to have. The French were much nicer than people make them out to be, especially if you make an effort to speak French."
Karen K Barnard College
"It was completely worthwhile. I met some people who stayed in all the time on skype or watching tv shows. I think that the experience is what you make of it.

Genta S Barnard College
"My experience was very worthwhile...It was great to experience life in a smaller city, and I made lots of friends from all over the world. I gained a new perspective on my time at college and learned to take more time to enjoy myself and the city I am in while I have the chance to - without letting school work stress me out."
Talia B Barnard College
"It was the most worthwhile experience of my College career. I understand myself in more ways than I did before, both positive and negative aspects, but I have found a sort of inner peace from all of the traveling that I've done. I feel more at ease with myself."
Reni C Barnard College
"I will go back to Sevilla to visit my host family. They were one of the sweetes people I have ever met. I realized the difference of race preceptions that Americans have verses Europeans which will help me write my thesis this coming senior year."

Jennifer B Barnard College

A student Barnard College
"Yes. Learned a lot about living/traveling on my own and met people i'd never meet at my home university. "
Lucy F Barnard College
"This is honestly a very easy program to enjoy. I can't imagine anyone not being satisfied. The dollar is VERY strong here, so you can easily live like a king, or at least live comfortably if you're under an extremely tight budget. If you want to party, alcohol here is absurdly cheap. If you hate Budapest, you can leave for a bra..."
