Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I loved studying abroad, it allowed my to relax, take a break and explore the world around me. I had never been out of the country before and it really threw me out of my comfort zone and challenged me. I also enjoyed taking classes outside my health/pre medicine major."
Christine R Colorado State University
"It was definitely worth my while. What I loved the most was how Alcala is located in the center of Spain so we could go in any direction and get to another city in a reasonable amount of time for a weekend trip. And the professors were all about going out and seeing the world and they themselves were world travellors who gave us..."
Melissa m Colorado State University
"Living abroad is the best thing I have ever done in my life. It opens up your personal world in so many ways. It helps you become more confident and willing to try bigger challenges. It also teaches you so much about other cultures, which in return, helps you reflect on your own culture. You can make friends that will last a lif..."
Tami L Colorado State University
"This experience (and my subsequent fluency in French) was truly invaluable. The cultural wisdom I learned will be crucial to my ability to work internationally as a physician in public health and medicine. Already, my lingual abilities allowed me to live and complete a medical internship in West Africa this past summer. Study ab..."

Courtney M Colorado State University
"After studying abroad, I changed my major to Spanish and gave me an even deeper passion to live in Central or South America and teach english. I love everything about the culture and the language. "
Katelyn K Colorado State University
"My study abroad experience in Costa Rica with API was beyond worthwhile! I feel that, sure you can learn a lot about culture and history inside a classroom, but the best way to understand what you're learning is by actually being present, gaining hands-on experience. Studying abroad was that for me. While I had taken lots of Spa..."
Riley E Colorado State University
"I really learned a lot about myself. cliche, i know. but while i was there i never felt like i had to prove anything and i was so easily accepted i was just allowed to be me. At home I am always brought down with pressure of grades and classes I never got to really try new things or meet new people. studying abroad helped me rea..."
Andrea F Colorado State University
"I greatly benefitted from the program and studying abroad. I met people from a different culture that helped me gain an outlook on my culture and my life. It has made me appreciate the Spanish language more and realize how truly beautiful it is and how it has a culture in itself. It changed my outlook on family and what it means..."
Matthew G Colorado State University
"It is quite difficult to summarize how those amazing months living in Chile changed my life. But the most rewarding elements all seemed to do with the people of the Chilean culture I got to know. It's amazing how you can gain new perspectives, vision, senses of humor, and ways to love others just by spending time with people in ..."
Jeannie W Colorado State University
"This was one of the best experiences I've had in my life. I was able to learn a lot about another culture, and see amazing things.

This program helped me focus my academic interests, as before leaving I ..."

"I think that my experience was very worth while. I had wanted to go to Spain for the longest time but was afraid that my expectations would not be met, on the contrary they were actually superseded. It was a wonderful cultural and linguistic opportunity for me as well as to build international relationships. I would like to go b..."
