Ben W Providence College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and individuality along with gaining a broader perspective on the world and other cultures. I learned how to fend for myself, but also make friends with students from all over the world."
Benjamin F Providence College
"Yes it was worthwhile. I'm still registering it all. "
Lindsay S Providence College
"From this experience I learned a great deal about not only academic related subjects but also about myself. I gained a great sense of independence that I did not have prior to studying abroad. I feel that my study abroad was the greatest experience I have ever had and I would highly suggest it to anyone."
Laura G Providence College
"It was definitely worthwhile but I would have changed some things about my situation such as living and my program. "
Deirdre F Providence College
"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. I feel that if I hadn't gone abroad I would not have been half the person I am now. Like any student I've learned about other cultures through books and haven't been able to experience them firsthand. In Pietermaritzburg, I could go to class at noon, learn about rock art, a..."
Bridget H Providence College
"Most wonderful experience of my life. Fair warning, dealing with PC's abroad office is painful but worth the hassle. Don't be daunted by the inefficiency of the office, the overall experience is worth the stress."
Kathleen A Providence College
"Absolutely. I learned that I truly am capable of anything I set my mind to - I not only survived, but flourished living with a French family, taking a full course load in French...From a cultural perspective, I gained a better understanding of why French culture is what it is, and that 'different' does, in no way, mean 'worse.' ..."
Amanda B Providence College
"The study abroad experience is one of the most worthwhile experiences I have ever had. It forced me to step beyond my comfort zone. It forced me to accept that there are things that are beyond our control, but that is ok, you can still enjoy an experience that you do not plan every minute of, sometimes things happen when you hav..."
meaghan d Providence College
"It was entirely worthwhile. I learned a new language!"
John R Providence College
"Yes, the study abroad program was definitely worth while. The only reason I said I would not do this same program was because I realized while there, I was not as interested in medicine as I had thought. If it was the same program, faculty, location, everything but with a different academic focus I would absolutely do it again..."
Michael W Providence College
"I could not have asked for a better study abroad experience. The things I learned and the qualities that I gainded as an individual could not have possibly been acheived to this extent had I not gone abroad. Studying abroad allowed me to understand how precious time is. Instead of becoming stressed over trivial matters, I geared..."
Caroline R Providence College
"I have an even greater want than before to travel more and experience different cultures for a longer period of time than simply a vacation. "
Emmy L Providence College

Erin G Providence College
"Best time of my life. Don't know how else to put it."
James D Providence College
"My study abroad experience was one of the, if not the best experiences I have had in terms of learning about myself. Not only did I become more confident, but I learned what it is that I want in my life and how I want to live my life. I am now a lot more aware of what my life goals are and how I would LIKE to achieve them."
Caitlin R Providence College
"yes, my experience abroad was well worth the time and money. it was easily the greatest experience of my life and i wouldnt take it back for anything. i wish i could do it all over again. i suggest lots of travel, but also make sure you get a feel of what it is like to live in your local city, that is very important. try everyth..."
Steve C Providence College
"I am so happy that I chose to study abroad in Galway. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I now realize how much more dependent and reliant I was on others before I went to Ireland. Now, I am exponentially more confident in every aspect of my life. I realize that being away from all of my family and most of my ..."
Samantha O Providence College
"Oh yes it was very worthwhile. I improved my Spanish and got to travel so much. I also made some incredible new friends and had a really fun time. It also helps you become more independent. "
Alexandra S Providence College
"Of course. I feel much closer to Europe's history having experienced it outside of a textbook. "
Margaret N Providence College
"It was most definitely worthwhile. I gained a greater world view and much more independence, all while taking classes and researching in another language. I understand myself a lot better now and know what I can and can't handle."
Melissa M Providence College
"I was able to gain a better understanding of myself (including strengths and weaknesses) and additionally became more independent...in the end making the study abroad experience something that I don't regret doing. But I wouldn't necessarily say that the experience was "worthwhile". Faced a lot of difficulties due to the incon..."
Molly G Providence College
"This program has allowed me to focus in more on my academic interests and future career goals ie immigration and or gang research. Culturally, I realized very quickly that I did not come to this "poorer" country to show them that life can be better, I came to LEARN from them and they all taught very valuable lessons. And I gre..."
Sonia P Providence College
"It has been great thus far, but I go back soon. "
Lauren B Providence College
"It was one of the best times of my life. I learned so much about Ghanaian culture and how so many different things influence their lives in comparison with mine. I also learned a lot about different education systems and what I feel works better for me. I also learned about my capacity for stepping outside my comfort zone and re..."
